CoinMarketCap requires payment for all non-EVM integrations.
I also wonder if we can propose this as an NNS proposal. It’s quite embarrassing that this hasn’t been addressed already, especially since it places all projects on the ICP at a disadvantage.
Mass adoption will remain elusive if $ICP projects aren’t featured on crypto analytics sites; this urgently needs to be addressed. It’s also disheartening to see the low number of views on Dfinity’s YouTube channel, where numerous high-quality educational videos are posted. This lack of interest is likely due to $ICP’s limited presence.
This situation somewhat reminds me of when Cardano was hesitant to spend 3 million for native USDC integration, a step that @Dfinity should consider as well.
