CMC Data Gets Sharper: The Rehypothecated Revolution

Before CoinMarketCap became the go-to source for crypto data, it was simply an idea — sparked in the mind of Brandon Chez. Crypto was still in its early stages, full of unpredictability and promise. Chez, ever the forward-thinker, saw an opportunity to create clarity in a chaotic space.

Borrowing inspiration from gaming leaderboards (think Dance Dance Revolution), he built a basic site to list crypto projects by market cap. What started as a small experiment has since evolved into the global giant we know today — one committed to delivering clear, accurate, and trustworthy market data.
