Looks good but is really confusing.

What does this mean:

= $2,054.37 to reach marketcap

Thanks for the feedback! It means that a single unit of the currency you are looking at must reach 2,054.37$ to obtain the same market cap as your selected base currency.

I've heard that crypto market caps are extremely misleading. Any take on this?

Misleading in what way? The Korean exchanges definitely artificially inflate the value so I'm glad coinmarketcap.com and livecoinwatch.com allow excluding them from the average.

Korean exchanges are excluded. I currently use only the Top 100 to calculate the market cap. However, I would still say that you are right because one definitely can't liquidate the whole supply for the current market price.
