Hello guys, i wish to know what price is a coin get listed on an exchange. Is it at ICO price or the price agreed by both parties?

That is not how it works. Basically, people are free to put up their coin at any price they want (sell order) or make a bid at whatever price they feel it is good at (buy order). A lot of people will do this at a lot of prices... then it is just a matter of who will take those orders. Eventually, people take up buy and sell orders enough to settle down at a sort of average price and then it moves from there.

Price is not really reflective of value here. It is simply a reflection of demand and what people are willing to pay (or get) for it.

There's no specific price to which a coin or token is listed on an exchange, the price is basically determined by the community or market.

With the hard effort that the developers are putting in the specific coins and with thorough explanations about the goals and the proper plans for the same projects, developers can afford themselves to put the higher price and value their coin a little bit more.

When the coin is released the true value is then achieved and that depends on the investors which have or have not recognized this coin as a successful project for the future. Supply and demand are 2 factors that are important but they are not determining the final price that is stated on the exchange site.

Hello i am new to this forum,i spent a lot of hours reading here everyday and to what i have learned after the ICO the bounty hunters and investors will dictate will the coin have after it gets listed in exchanges,why? because most of the investors and bounty hunters will dump their tokens from the moment the coin is listed,on the first few days the coin's price would dump but after sometime it will get recover when most of the investors and bounty hunters took their profits.

There's no specific price to which a coin or token is listed on an exchange. The price is determined by the the community.
If there is a high demand for that coin then the price would naturally rise.

All boils down to the hype surrounding the coin😎

From what I've noticed, some coins get a 5-10 times bigger price when it hits the exchange compared with the ICO price. Which is crazy if you'd ask me.

I have noticed same too. in fact, that was what prompts this topic. I was wondering why. But i have read that there is no specific price.

The price is based on the demand and supply, users can decide how much they want to pay/get for a coin.
Exchanges don't sell coins themselves nor do they decide what the price will be.

It's the price someone is willing to sell and buy at. That is how the market balances out, it could be below ICO price or above it depends on the market.

It would be very naive to believe that developers, or anyone else, can dictate the price on the exchange. The price is always dictated by the market. Demand generates supply. Of course, the exchange and developers can strongly influence it, but they can not install it. But sometimes there are manipulations. In that case, everything can be.

Usually it is the market of cryptocurrency that is dictating its rules and creates the price of a coin. If a coin is in demand (like BTC and ETH), the exchange can artificially raise its price as they know that people will buy it in any case.

There is no specific price for listing on exchanges. It values only based demand and supply. It will be traded on different prices based on buy order and sell order.

The price is set by the investors who bought in during the ICO. Normally, when a coin first hits the exchange it is valued somewhere around 3-10x the ICO price and then declines to ~2x the price.
That's the trend that I've noticed so far, so I always wait a few days after a coin hits the exchanges to buy it.

There's no specific rule for that such thing. For every coin is individually: it's based on community which can set up buy/sell order on first exchanges from their perspective of evaluate the coin and Roadmap created by developers also helps to attract investors and it helps increasing price.

There are three cases:

1. If the coins/tokens are sold at a cheap price then most probably the price when it get listed on an exchange is greater than the ICO price.
2. If the coins/tokens are sold at fix price but with bonus then the price is equivalent to the ICO price.
3. They can do both if they see that the coins/tokens are in demand.
