CoinMarketCap does not charge a listing fee. CMC is a data aggregator. To be listed, your token must meet eligibility criteria such as exchange coverage, liquidity, supply verification, contract safety, and accurate public disclosures.

For a full cost breakdown and checklist, see the complete guide: https://listing.help/coinmarketcap-listing-cost/

What Costs Should Teams Actually Budget For?

• Exchange coverage & liquidity: $10K–$80K depending on pairs and depth
• Security & compliance: $10K–$60K for audits, KYC/KYB, legal opinions
• Project packaging and Marketing: $5K–$40K for website, socials, PR, and KOLs
• Tooling & ops: $3K–$15K for monitoring, analytics, and API readiness

How to Strengthen a CMC Submission

1) Secure at least one reputable exchange listing with sustainable liquidity and API access.
2) Publish an independent audit; verify source code; set safe privileges (timelock/multisig).
3) Prepare a circulating supply methodology and label excluded addresses.
4) Maintain consistency across website, socials, explorers, and exchange data.

FAQ

Is there any CoinMarketCap listing fee in 2026?

No. The fee is $0. Budget for readiness (exchanges, liquidity, audits, legal, marketing).

Can we get listed on CMC without any exchange listing?

Yes, it is possible. However, your page will be listed as "untracked" and will only become "tracked" once you list your token on at least one exchange.
