Price for Listing on CoinMarketCap — Updated 2026 Guide

While CMC listings have a $0 platform fee, teams still need an end‑to‑end budget. In 2026, realistic all‑in ranges often land between $25K and $120K depending on exchange coverage, liquidity targets, audits/legal, and marketing scope.

Total Price vs. “Listing Fee”

Consider four buckets when planning:
• Platform fee: $0 on CoinMarketCap (data aggregator).
• Exchange coverage & liquidity: $10K–$80K depending on pairs and depth.
• Security & compliance: $10K–$60K for audits, KYC/KYB, legal opinions, and supply proofs.
• Project packaging and marketing: $5K–$40K for branding, PR.

Planning a 2026 Budget That Works for CMC

1) Start with exchange strategy and liquidity depth; avoid inorganic volume.
2) Complete audits and publish reports before submission; verify source code.
3) Prepare a supply methodology and label excluded addresses.
4) Align website/socials/explorer data; submit a single, consistent truth set.
