Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ 500,000,000
- Purpose: Focus on larger, established cryptocurrencies.
- Rationale:
- “Most popular” cryptos are typically those with substantial network size and investor interest, which is well-approximated by market capitalization.
- A minimum market cap of $500M filters out very small or obscure tokens, leaving you with projects that are widely recognized, more discussed, and more broadly held.
- This avoids micro-cap/speculative coins that might be briefly hyped but are not truly “popular” in a sustained, broad-market sense.
24h Turnover (Trading Volume) ≥ 50,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure the cryptos are heavily traded right now, not just large on paper.
- Rationale:
- Popularity isn’t just about size; it’s also about current activity. A 24-hour trading volume of at least $50M indicates strong, ongoing buying and selling interest.
- This filter removes dormant or illiquid coins, even if they have a decent market cap, and focuses on those that traders and investors are actively engaging with.
- High turnover is a direct quantitative proxy for “what’s being traded and watched today.”
is_trending = True
- Purpose: Capture assets that are currently in the spotlight (news, social media, trading platforms).
- Rationale:
- “Most popular” often implies not just long-term importance but also current buzz—coins that are being searched, discussed, and featured more than usual.
- A “trending” flag usually incorporates signals such as spikes in volume, price interest, watchlists, mentions, or search activity.
- This helps surface cryptos that are not only big and liquid but also experiencing heightened attention right now.
Why Results Match Your Question
- By requiring large market cap, the screen focuses on widely recognized, established cryptocurrencies that most people would consider “major” or “mainstream.”
- By adding a high 24h turnover requirement, it ensures these are not just big names but also actively traded and relevant in the market today.
- By restricting to trending assets, it tilts the results toward the cryptos that are currently in the spotlight, aligning with a practical, real-time sense of “most popular” rather than a purely historical or theoretical one.
Combined, these filters aim to show you large, liquid, and currently trending cryptocurrencies—i.e., those most likely to be considered “the most popular right now.”
