Question 1

What is the Hidden Gem Crypto Scanner?

Accepted Answer

It is a free tool that finds low market cap cryptocurrencies listed simultaneously on multiple major exchanges. Coins with small market caps but wide exchange listings have fragmented liquidity, which creates persistent price gaps of 2–8% that cross-exchange arbitrageurs can exploit.

Question 2

What is the difference between MCap Scan and Coin Search mode?

Accepted Answer

MCap Scan fetches symbol lists from all 10 exchanges, finds coins listed on your chosen minimum number of exchanges (2–8+), then filters by your maximum market cap. Coin Search lets you type any coin symbol (e.g. PEPE, WIF, SHIB) and instantly shows which of the 10 exchanges carry that coin, along with its full Gem Score and technical indicators.

Question 3

How is the Gem Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Gem Score is calculated from 8 factors: market cap size (smaller = more points), Binance Futures 24h volume relative to market cap (volume ≥ market cap = bonus), Binance Futures volume spike vs 20-period average, open interest change over 15 minutes, MACD direction on 15m candles, EMA20 vs EMA50 alignment, RSI value, and current funding rate direction (negative funding = bonus points for shorts).

Question 4

Why does the scanner use Binance Futures volume instead of spot volume?

Accepted Answer

Binance Futures volume is a more accurate signal of active trader interest than spot volume. High futures volume relative to market cap indicates traders are actively speculating on the coin, which often precedes price gap opportunities across exchanges.

Question 5

What does negative funding rate mean for arbitrage?

Accepted Answer

When the funding rate is negative, short positions receive payment from long positions every 8 hours. This creates a funding rate arbitrage opportunity: hold spot long and short the perpetual futures, collecting the negative funding as passive income while remaining market-neutral.

Question 6

Which exchanges does the scanner check?

Accepted Answer

The scanner checks 10 major exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, KuCoin, MEXC, Bitget, HTX (Huobi), Coinbase and Kraken.

Question 7

What is a Strong Gem score?

Accepted Answer

A Gem Score of 80 or above is classified as a Strong Gem — meaning the coin has a small market cap, high Binance Futures volume relative to its market cap, a volume spike, rising open interest, bullish MACD, aligned EMAs, RSI above 50, and ideally a negative funding rate. These coins have the highest arbitrage potential based on technical signals.
