YIBI Exchange Launches CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone: Returning to Value, Upholding User-Centric Trading Since 2019

Since its official launch in 2019, YIBI Exchange has weathered seven full years of crypto market bull-bear cycles, standing alongside global users through the industry’s most volatile and transformative eras. Today, we are proud to officially announce the launch of our new core trading product: the CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone — a dedicated trading ecosystem strictly anchored to the top 100 cryptocurrencies ranked by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap (CMC), the world’s most authoritative crypto data platform. This strategic move is not a random shift, but a deeply considered decision rooted in our 7 years of industry insight, our unwavering commitment to user protection, and our vision for a sustainable, value-driven crypto market.

Our 7-Year Journey: From Broad Market Coverage to Focused Value Creation

When YIBI first launched in 2019, the crypto industry was emerging from a prolonged bear market, with mainstream adoption still in its early stages. Our founding mission was simple: to build an open, accessible, and inclusive trading platform that empowers global users to participate in the crypto economy. As the industry evolved — through the 2020 DeFi Summer boom, the 2021 retail-driven bull market, the 2022 collapse of LUNA and FTX, and the 2024–2025 market cycle shifts — we worked tirelessly to meet user demand for diverse trading opportunities. At our peak, YIBI listed over 350 trading pairs, spanning layer-1 blockchains, DeFi protocols, Web3 projects, GameFi assets, and meme tokens, aiming to give users access to every emerging market trend.

However, 7 years of hands-on market experience has taught us a critical lesson: the long-term health of the crypto market, and the safety of our users, is never determined by the quantity of listed tokens, but by the quality of the underlying assets. Industry data paints a stark picture: over the past 6 years, more than 90% of non-top 100 market cap tokens have seen a price drawdown of over 90% during bear market cycles, with countless projects ultimately abandoning development, collapsing in community consensus, or becoming completely worthless. Even in recent market cycles, only 6% of major altcoins have generated positive returns for investors over a 12-month period, while low-cap tokens have seen average declines of 80–90% in just months.

At YIBI, we witnessed this risk firsthand. Over 90% of user asset disputes, complaints, and irreversible losses on our platform stemmed from trading low-liquidity, unproven, and high-risk tokens outside the CMC Top 100. Users faced extreme slippage on orders, inability to exit positions during market crashes, rug pulls from anonymous project teams, and market manipulation via pump-and-dump schemes. This reality directly contradicted our founding promise: to build a fair, transparent, and secure trading environment for our users. It became clear that our broad listing strategy, while well-intentioned, was exposing our community to unnecessary and often catastrophic risk.

Why We Are Stepping Away From High-Risk Tokens, and Doubling Down on the CMC Top 100

Our decision to launch the CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone, and to phase out support for tokens that have lost over 90% of their value or fallen outside the top 100 ranking, is driven by three non-negotiable core principles that have guided YIBI since day one.

1. User Asset Protection is Our Unshakable First Priority

The crypto market’s greatest risk for retail and institutional users alike is irreversible capital loss from assets with no fundamental value. Tokens that have fallen 90% or more from their all-time highs almost universally lack sustainable technical development, transparent team operations, or real-world utility. Their price action is driven purely by speculative hype and market manipulation, leaving ordinary users with no ability to hedge risk or make informed investment decisions. Continuing to list these tokens would be a failure of our fiduciary duty to our users, as it would enable avoidable exposure to total capital loss.

In stark contrast, the CMC Top 100 tokens represent the crypto market’s most battle-tested, resilient, and fundamentally sound assets. These tokens have survived multiple full market cycles, with proven use cases, global community consensus, transparent governance, and ongoing technical development. Even in extreme market downturns, these assets maintain robust liquidity and value retention, eliminating the risk of sudden illiquidity or total collapse that plagues low-cap tokens. For new and experienced users alike, they are the safest, most reliable entry point to the crypto economy.

2. We Are Committed to Upholding Fair, Transparent Market Order

Low-cap tokens that have lost 90% or more of their value are overwhelmingly vulnerable to market manipulation. With highly concentrated circulating supply, minimal trading volume, and little to no regulatory oversight, these assets are the primary target of pump-and-dump schemes, wash trading, and insider trading. In these markets, retail users are always at a structural disadvantage, reduced to passive victims of coordinated exploitation by large holders and project teams. YIBI refuses to let our platform become a tool for this predatory behavior.

The CMC Top 100 tokens, by comparison, have deeply liquid, globally distributed order books and decentralized holder bases, making them nearly immune to coordinated price manipulation. Their market pricing is driven by real user demand, fundamental development, and macroeconomic trends, not insider activity. By focusing exclusively on these assets, we are creating a level playing field for all YIBI users, where every trader has equal access to fair, efficient, and transparent price discovery.

3. This Move Aligns With Long-Term Compliance and Sustainable Platform Growth

As global crypto regulation continues to mature, regulators worldwide have taken a strict stance against unproven, high-speculation tokens that pose systemic risks to investors. Listing these assets exposes both our platform and our users to significant regulatory and legal risk, threatening the long-term stability of the YIBI ecosystem.

The CMC Top 100 tokens are the crypto market’s most regulatory-compliant assets, having undergone rigorous scrutiny from global financial authorities, with established disclosure frameworks and compliant operational structures. By centering our platform around these assets, we are ensuring YIBI’s long-term sustainability, adhering to global regulatory best practices, and building a platform that can serve our users for years to come — not just for the next speculative cycle.

The CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone: More Than Just Curated Assets, A Full Trading Experience Upgrade

Our new CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone is not just a filtered list of tokens — it is a complete upgrade to the YIBI trading experience, built exclusively around the needs of users seeking secure, reliable, and high-quality crypto trading.

The zone features a dual-layer screening process: all assets are first strictly anchored to the real-time CMC Top 100 ranking, then vetted through YIBI’s proprietary 7-dimensional risk assessment framework, which evaluates technical development activity, team transparency, liquidity depth, community stability, compliance history, security track record, and long-term value potential. Only assets that pass both screens are included in the zone.

To ensure ongoing alignment with market dynamics, we have implemented a monthly rebalancing mechanism, mirroring the CMC100 Index’s industry-standard monthly rebalancing schedule. For tokens that fall out of the CMC Top 100, we will issue a 7-day advance notice to users, providing ample time to adjust positions and exit trades with no liquidity disruptions. For new tokens entering the Top 100, we will complete our full risk review and list them in the zone promptly, ensuring users always have access to the market’s most relevant core assets.

Beyond asset curation, the zone delivers industry-leading trading performance: all pairs are backed by YIBI’s dedicated market making liquidity, paired with the global deep order books of Top 100 assets, enabling near-zero slippage even on large block trades. The zone will also support a full suite of products beyond spot trading, including futures contracts, recurring investment plans, staking services, and yield-generating products, creating a one-stop ecosystem for users to build and manage their crypto portfolios.

Closing: Returning to Our Founding Vision, Building for the Crypto Industry’s Next Era

Over 7 years in the crypto industry, we have seen countless exchanges rise and fall, countless tokens boom and go to zero, and countless users gain and lose life-changing sums of money. Through it all, the one constant that has defined successful, enduring platforms is an unwavering focus on user protection and long-term value.

The launch of the CMC Top 100 Exclusive Trading Zone is not a retreat for YIBI — it is a strategic evolution. It is a promise to our users that we will no longer prioritize quantity over quality, or speculative hype over sustainable value. It is a commitment to building a platform where users can trade with confidence, knowing that every asset available has been vetted, tested, and proven to stand the test of time.

Since 2019, YIBI’s mission has been to bring the crypto economy to the world, safely and responsibly. With this new product, we are taking the biggest step forward in that mission to date. We look forward to continuing this journey with our global community, building a more secure, fair, and value-driven crypto future, one Top 100 trade at a time.
