One month ago China announced the creation of ranking of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain projects that the Chinese government considers to possess technological merit.
The 28 crypto's in the inaugural index are:
Ark, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, BitShares, ByteCoin, Cardano, Dash, Decred, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Hcash, IOTA, Komodo, Lisk, Litecoin, Monero, NANO, NEM, NEO, QTUM, Ripple, Siacoin, Steem, Stellar, Stratis, Verge, Waves & Zcash
The first list missed EOS and Nebulas, which are included in the second list:

And EOS jumped direct to RANK 1
The effect of that list on market WAS NONE.... for exemple last month STEEM was rank 2 and we have seen to fall the steem price, now is holding rank 7.
The researchers used a number of criteria to select blockchain companies to include in the index:
- The project should have its own independen main chain
- Nodes can be freely created
- It should have a published block explorer where block information can be easily tracked
- It needs to run on open source code
- It should have a open website that project team members that are contactable
