CoinMarketCap uses data from many exchanges to estimate the price of cryptocurrencies. 

In an interview with Cointelegraph, CoinMarketCap content manager Molly Jane Zuckerman said that the deletion was due to the "Kimchi Premium" from South Korean crypto exchanges. 

The Bitcoin price on South Korean exchanges is about 6% higher than other exchanges, Zuckerman said: "If the prices on South Korean exchanges stabilize, then we will add the data back in, but that hasn’t happened yet."
