CoinGecko

CoinGecko is the world's largest independent cryptocurrency data aggregator. Founded in 2014 and bootstrapped with an initial $100, the company provides real-time market data, price charts and analytics on more than 18,000 cryptoassets across over 1,000 exchanges. Its platform draws over 300m pageviews a month from more than 100 countries, while its API fielded over 45bn calls in a single month.

The company's technical work spans market data aggregation, data analytics, API infrastructure, real-time price tracking and ranking methodology. CoinGecko's own 360-degree ranking framework assesses cryptocurrencies on several dimensions - including liquidity, developer activity, community strength and public interest - rather than on market capitalisation alone. The API serves developers and institutions requiring programmatic access to the same dataset.

CoinGecko operates independently and serves investors, developers and institutions in the cryptocurrency, blockchain and fintech sectors. Its stated mission is to democratise access to cryptocurrency data and to broaden mainstream understanding of the asset class, with a long-term ambition to scale its data infrastructure to serve billions of users.
