At bloks.io there are tokens with USD estimation. How is it calculated?
How do these tokens appear on that page?
Who / What evaluates them?

1Since bloks.io is a private closed source service, you should ask their creators, links are on their website. EOS Cafe Block and HKEOS. They have an incentive to be friendly and will probably answer all your questions. They have a vested interest in their project. You can also ask them to answer here for others to see the answer. – Ami Heines Mar 19 '19 at 7:53
Bloks.io uses this github repo and asks anyone who wants to have their token listed on their site to submit a PR. https://github.com/eoscafe/eos-airdrops Ignore that they named it eos-airdrops, it is for all tokens (including non-airdropped).
Bloks.io used to use our API which uses multiple sources such as Chaince and Newdex.io to create a single source of EOS token data. They migrated to newdex.io.
Our API is freely available at: https://blocksense.one/api/token.json
Also, I think Bloks.io does not "evaluate" the EOS token projects before listing them on their site. They are a block producer and provide this listing service as part of their community efforts.
Also, if you are interested in finding a list of EOS token projects, check out:

I hope this helps.
