CoinMarketCap was founded in May 2013 by Brandon Chez in New York City, and by 2018 had become one of the most popular websites in the world, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Binance acquired the platform on March 31, 2020, a deal Binance CEO CZ described as the company's biggest acquisition to date; multiple outlets reported the transaction at approximately $300, $400 million in cash and equity including BNB, though the exact price remained under NDA. Brandon Chez departed following the acquisition, and the platform is currently led by CEO Mai Lu, also known as Rush.
CoinMarketCap drew industry attention in 2019 when Bitwise Asset Management submitted a 226-slide presentation to the SEC asserting that 95% of Bitcoin trading volume reported by exchanges listed on the platform was fake or wash-traded; CoinMarketCap acknowledged the concerns as valid and committed to adding liquidity measures, wallet balance data, and traffic data as transparency tools.
CoinMarketCap co-launched CMC20, the CoinMarketCap 20 Index DTF, with Reserve Protocol in November 2025, described as the first DeFi-native tradable crypto index token on BNB Chain, tracking the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap with monthly rebalancing and available on PancakeSwap. In May 2025, it launched CMC Launch, a pre-TGE crypto project launchpad offering access to over 70 million monthly users, with YZi Labs-backed Aster DEX as its inaugural project, deployed on BNB Chain and Arbitrum. CoinMarketCap's broader data coverage includes Rhuna.
