How the list is chosen
Aureus tracks the 20 largest crypto assets by market value that meet the rules below, using CoinGecko's ranking.
Four kinds of asset are left out:
Stablecoins — a token pegged to a dollar doesn't have news to read.
Wrapped and staked versions — wBTC moves with Bitcoin, so it would be the same reading twice.
Exchange tokens — their value tracks one company's business, which is closer to a share than to crypto.
Tokenised real-world assets — gold, treasury bills and loan pools in token form. Some of them retail investors can't buy at all.
Anything under $1 is also excluded for now, for a technical reason we're fixing.
The list is updated by hand and reviewed before it changes.
This explains what things mean. It isn't investment advice, and nothing here says whether an asset is worth buying.
