CoinGecko
The largest independent crypto data aggregator, tracking prices, market caps and exchanges since 2014.
01 / THE WORK
What we built together
Overview
CoinGecko was founded in 2014 by TM Lee and Bobby Ong and has grown into the largest independent crypto data aggregator in the world. It tracks well over ten thousand tokens across more than a thousand exchanges, and for a lot of people it is simply the first tab they open when they want to check anything in crypto.
What stands out
- Independence. Market data that is not tied to any single exchange or chain.
- Breadth. Prices, market caps, volumes, categories, exchanges, NFTs and treasuries in one place.
- GeckoTerminal. Real time onchain DEX data for tokens that have not reached centralized exchanges yet.
- API and research. A widely used crypto data API and regular industry reports that the market actually reads.
Why it is on this list
Good writing about markets starts with good data. CoinGecko is part of the daily research routine: checking categories, spotting rotations and sanity checking narratives against real numbers.
Narratives are loud. Data is quiet. It pays to listen to the quiet one.
