🚀 Updates From Nomics

#1 Nomics Mobile App Is Live (Beta): We’re pleased to announce the beta launch of the Nomics mobile app for Android and iOS. Now, you can get real-time crypto market cap rankings, historical prices, charts and more for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and 4,000 other cryptoassets. The app is available for download from Google Play and the App Store.

#2 Binance Futures Added: We’ve added Binance Futures data to our API and Nomics.com. Binance has an “A” Transparency Rating, indicating full transparency. To earn an A-level rating, an exchange must provide trade-level data and full histories.

Thanks to the addition of Binance Futures, Binance flipped BitMEX to become the top crypto exchange on Nomics – in terms of trade volume.

We also completed a deep data integration with FarhadMarket, which earned an A+ Transparency Rating.
