CoinGecko Speaks
The past few weeks have been big for us
This is a double issue for the weeks of 4th May - 17th May and 18th May - 31st May 2019.
After months of research, implementation and optimization, we have finally ushered in a new feature that brings CoinGecko.com to our next chapter of bringing the most transparent and truthful data to the CoinGecko family.
We have big plans for the "trust score". And we will continue to develop it to make it as easy as possible for you to do your research of new coins on CoinGecko.com.
1. Sentiment Voting
How do you think about a coin today? Bullish? Bearish? a new announcement that got you hyped? share your thoughts about your favourite coin for all to see with the new Sentiment Voting feature!
By crowdsourcing the sentiment (gut feeling) and aggregating them on each coin page, you can get a feel of how a coin is doing on a particular day.
2. Support for Ukranian Hryvnia
Due to popular demand, we have added support for Ukranian Hryvnia (UAH) on CoinGecko.com.
We hope this makes it easier for out Ukranian friends to quickly calculate the price of their favourite coins to their national currency.
3. Electrum uses CoinGecko API
Electrum Wallet is now using CoinGecko as a default fiat rate data provider! If you are thinking of a way to easily and safely store your Bitcoin, do check out Electrum Wallet!
4. CoinGecko "Trust Score"
You can read our full article on Steem for more information. We have implementated a "Trust Score" system on the exchanges tracked by CoinGecko via various metrics to let users to essentially tell the difference from the "wheat and the chaff".
Everyone knows that what is measured will be manipulated. We had to resort to this system as we have been seeing more and more rampant faking of metrics that we used to rank exchanges. With the "Trust Score", you can now make better decisions when deciding to deposit your coins into exchange and know that there will be liquidity.
5. Bid/Ask Spread and ±2% Depth Cost
We now track a new metric that traders will find highly useful when researching coins and exchanges.
Basically, the Bid/Ask Spread is the amount by which the ask price (lowest price a seller is willing to sell) exceeds the bid price (highest price a buyer is willing to buy) for an asset in any particular market.
± 2% Depth Cost: Capital in USD required to move the orderbook by 2% up or down from last traded price.
Trading Volume does not tell the full story, we are glad that users now can get a better picture for the coins they want to trade.
6. New Features on Mobile
Be sure to update the CoinGecko app to the latest version right now!
The new version is now much more efficient and stable as we have received reports that some users faced issue in pass version.
7. Bubble Chart
Here's a nifty feature you can screenshot and share to your social media. The bubble chart is a variation of the cryptocurrency tree map.

We added 223 new coins and 1 ICO to our platform from 4th to 24th May 2019.
