For the second month in a row, EOS remains at the top of a monthly list of 31 cryptocurrency projects by the Chinese Center for Information Industry Development (CCID). Bitcoin has improved its ranking from 17 to 16, still below its May rating of 13. Bitcoin Cash moved from 28 to 25 place. NEM remains at the bottom of the list.
The CCID originally began releasing monthly crypto rankings in May of this year with a list of 28 projects. EOS and Nebulas were added to the list in June; GxChain was added this month (in 4th place, no less) bringing the total to 31.
Ratings Are Given Based Off of Innovation, Technology, and Application
The China Electronics News Agency (CENA) explained that CCID’s rankings are based on “comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the public chain from three aspects: basic technology, application and innovation.” CENA is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s media agency.

May’s rankings.
According to CENA, “The application [criteria] mainly examines the comprehensive ability of the public chain to support practical applications.” This includes capabilities for dapp development support and node deployment; Ethereum was the CCID’s top pick for this particular criteria and was at the top overall of the May list of rankings.
Bitcoin ranked first in terms of the innovation criteria, which “focuses on continuous innovation in public chain open source code, including the number of contributors, code updates, and code impact.”

The ratings have been the target of some online criticism. Eric Zhao, the man behind the @cnLedger Twitter account (which boasts more than 75.3k followers) said that the ratings were assigned by people who don’t understand blockchain. “Most old-school experts haven’t followed the crypto space long enough to grasp some of the traits of tech and community that can’t be found elsewhere,” he tweeted in May.
However, Zhao believes that the ratings may be “a sign that the officials are starting to treat crypto projects more like a neutral endeavour towards better technology and innovations, rather than just challenging the power and authority of banks and government.”
The ratings have also been compared to the controversial Weiss crypto ratings that were originally published earlier this year.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
