Chances are you are probably familiar with the two biggest crypto price aggregators, which are CoinMarket and CoinGecko.

While there are plenty of websites offering similar services, it's easier for many investors to use these sites as their go-to to get information about tokens they are interested in buying or just searching for potential gems. 

But other less popular websites at the moment have better features and tools to better assess tokens and help you with your investment.

One of my favorite websites for analyzing tokens is Cryptorank. The site has some useful and insightful information on tokens that you are free to access anytime.

Below are three useful features on Cryptorank that I think any investor might like

Fundraising

Cryptorank does a good job of providing information about fundraising for tokens that went through that process. This is very helpful because it gives you an idea about investors' interest in any given token.

Knowing how a token was launched is a crucial piece of information that could help you predict its performance in the future. Cryptorank will give you all the steps from seed funding to public launch while also giving you the sale price at each step.

I will use the Filecoin token $FIL as an example to show you what you could get from Cryptorank website by analyzing the data.

According to the site, about 69 million $FIL were sold at $0.75/token to private investors, while later an ICO was held on Coinlist where $FIL was sold at $1.95 a unit. 

Well-known investors like Winklevoss Capital and Sequoia Capital among others have raised $52 million during private sales. Note that Winklevoss Capital alone has raised $120 thousand as a seed investment. 

Cryptorank also makes it easy for you to get an overview of tokens tokenomic. Below is the Filecoin tokenomic with different allocations you might need to know.

Vesting

In crypto, vesting is the process of gradually transferring ownership of cryptocurrency tokens or coins. Tokens are locked for a certain amount of time, and then become unlocked, allowing for transfer, sale, or use. The period when tokens are locked is called the vesting period.

When tokens are unlocked, they become liquid and increase the circulating supply. They can be sold anytime on the market, causing a decrease in price or even a more serious price crash.

In the case of $FIL, you can see in the data below that most of the total supply has been unlocked. Only 9.45% tokens are still locked at the time of writing. The next unlocking event is on December 14th.

Arbitrage

This is a cool piece of information that you could use to your advantage. 

Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same or similar asset in different markets in order to profit from tiny differences in the asset’s listed price. It exploits short-lived variations in the price of identical or similar financial instruments in different markets or in different forms.

Cryptorank lets you see different prices of the same assets on multiple exchanges in real-time. 

See below the price of $FIL on different exchanges at the time of writing. Notice that Bittrex is selling $FIL at $5.57/token while it only costs $4.57/token on Pancakeswap. If you buy $FIL on PancakeSwap and sell it on Bittrex, that's a $1.05 profit instantly! 

I used $FIL as an example to help you get the point of using Cryptorank. Of course, you can search for any other token you like. Keep in mind that some features will be missing depending on the token as some project don't disclose their data as much. But I hope you got the message!
