From September 2, 2019, the rating of cryptocurrencies on Coinmarketcap will undergo significant changes, as in addition to capitalization, the cryptocurrency rating will also take into account the trading volume and compliance with paragraph 10 of the rules of the site itself. In accordance with this rule, the entire list of cryptocurrencies is divided into 3 groups: from 1 to 200 places, from 201 places and cryptocurrencies out of rank.
