Title: Bitcoin and Altcoins listing
Post by: Cryptelo on November 15, 2017, 06:24:41 PM

why are bitcoins only listed on Bitcoin exchanges without any other altcoins listed on them?

Because those exchanges probably generally only sell bitcoin as their primary function and do not do altcoin trading. That is the only reason I can think of for no altcoin pairing.

Pretty much yes, there's not enough market for altcoins to usd/other currency and therefore it makes no sense for them to go to the trouble and expense to list them.
