CoinGecko is an independent cryptocurrency data aggregator founded in 2014 and bootstrapped from inception. It tracks more than 18,000 cryptoassets across over 1,000 exchanges globally, providing real-time prices, market data, price charts, and analytics to investors, developers, and institutions. Its website generates more than 300 million pageviews across 100+ countries, and its API handles over 45 billion calls per month.
The company's core product is its public-facing platform, which aggregates comprehensive market data and exposes it through both a consumer website and a developer-facing API. For those building on top of its data, the CoinGecko API provides programmatic access to the full breadth of its market coverage. The platform also applies a proprietary, multi-dimensional ranking methodology that evaluates cryptoassets beyond market capitalisation, incorporating liquidity, developer activity, community strength, and public interest metrics.
CoinGecko operates independently, without external institutional funding, and positions itself as a neutral source of market data. Its technical work spans real-time data aggregation, API infrastructure at significant scale, liquidity analysis, and the development of scoring systems designed to give a fuller picture of cryptoasset health than price alone.
