The information provided here comes from an open-source platform, meaning that people can add or remove companies at their own behest. This might lead to some countries having more entries than others (e.g. the website being more known/used in country X than in country Y), or that some figures have not been updated (e.g. a company was added at some point, but the business dissolved at a later date and had not been removed from the database). Additionally, the cryptocurrency market is a volatile market that is difficult to map out. For these reasons, all figures provided are estimates and may vary in accuracy.
