Which cryptocurrencies matter most to the market?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That question gets tougher to answer every day as new digital assets join the thousands already traded. Those looking to figure out which ones are the most important have often used simple metrics such as market capitalization to sort through the Lego pile of coins and tokens. Such simplistic filtering tells only part of the story and is fraught with the potential for manipulation.

\n

A more sophisticated methodology<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

It starts with the exchanges. But not every exchange \u2013 far from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the wild frontier of crypto trading, hundreds of exchanges pop up all the time. Few are trustworthy and reliable. Only a sliver have done what they can to remove manipulation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
