Is it necessary for token or coin to pay huge amount of bitcoin or ethuruem  for it to be listed on Exchange...
Why exchangers charge millions of dollars to get a token listed on their exchange?

In an ideal world it would not be necessary. But we don't live in an ideal world. The exchanges want to make more money. But there are positive examples too. Some exchanges won't list a crypto even if payed a lot of money. For example Binance's CEO said,


One more thing worth to mention. If the cryptocurrency had a fair start, if there were no premine, no developers fee, how would it pay, who would pay? Say bitcoin was not listed on some exchange, who would pay the listing fee?

Necessary verification would have be a better  idea than to charge huge amont of money....truly some coin doesn't whot to be listed on exchange

Imagine a coin or token with no mission, vision and no problem solved,no road map, no white paper.. Then such token or coin won't have good impact.....
 Strict  verification would have been a better ideas

This explains it all
Project with purpose and good motives with a proper roadmap bringing solution to the masses would be lesser fees
Funny enough is nuance and bittrex rarely list fake projects
That’s their uniqueness and a reason why hodlers always ask “when binance, when moon” in telegram groups

you need to spend money to make money ;)

what happens is that ICO scammers create a shitty token with no use. they have it to dump and in order to be able to dump they need some other idiots in the market who are buying that useless token. and for that there needs to be a market.
an exchange can provide that market but since the token is useless, the only way they are going to provide this service is if they are paid to.

so eventually exchanges start asking for money to list anything.

Because there are demands from coin developers to get their coins listed on a decent exchange. Why does coin dev/community want their coin to get listed on an exchange? There are a lot of reasons. The main reason though is because devs or community wants to start involving "real money" in their project. They mostly either want to cash out or manipulate the price.

Note that decent coins usually don't need to pay anything to get listed. The sheer amount of interest to the coin usually enough to drives exchange to list it.

And some of new exchanges don´t have extra trading fees.They must take money/tokens/coins from new projects/ICO´s becouse  it´s almost only way to  get paid.

Well, choose bitcoin as example.

Look at Volume (24h) on BitForex and what do you see? $3.327.401.320, it mean 0.05% [1] of it will be got by the exchanger. (~$1.6 million per day).

If they list a potential coin on their exchange, they will earn thousands to millions dollar per day. So, is it worth?

Truly knowledge is power... Listing of a token or coin in a big exchangers is truly needful so as to increase daily volume of the token or coin...

It is necessary they charge then because it is much as paying broker a brokerage. Their work is more or less agent. Also If they did not charge anything those scam coin will just list there token and run away without monitoring. You know before a coin or token is listed they will be the one to scrutinize it and ensure it is a genuine token.

One thing not clear to me about the CEO statement and the fee model, if they find that the crypto is a legit project, should they charge for free for "ALL". I wonder what's the criteria since not all good projects are charged for free. If they know that the project does not have much, so they would go for community voting for all of them?

Sometimes scam ico or fake ico will try to list on exchange to turn their non-value coins into money. So they have to invest list-coin-fee for this purpose. I think those coins trying to do this is danger and investors should avoid these coins.

Its about business. Token developers need to expose their coins to a larger exchange to get more volume, they also hold that token wherein they can sell if the price increases.

Volume.

They have plenty of their own tokens in their hands. A small amount for them to pay for the evaluation of the current token

I know coinbase have a strict set of rules when it comes to adding new alts. Unfortunately, not all crypto exchange have the same rules and requirements for altcoin listing because others are greedy all they care about is the money. Aren't all altcoins supposed to have there own road map, whitepaper, etc yet most of them end up failing.  

When a token gets added on a big exchange it doesn't always mean that it's good for the token if it can't maintain a high volume it can get delisted.

most of the exchange have their rules for news coin listing, top exchange require high fees for listing new coins,  if not a lot of scam coin will appear in exchange, but I saw that most of the project don't want to pay the fees to listed on high trading volume exchange , even project raised a lot of fund from ICO, I've no idea why like that

Actually I would say if the token is genuine and comes with totally fair distribution of tokens, no fees at all. But if the scam-token-developers shamelessly keep 20 percent of tokens or more for themselves, I have nothing against them being ripped off by the exchange listing fees.

The exchange have spent money to build the exchange, also spent money to build credibility and a huge follower-ship so they need to recoup their cost. Also, they have staff to pay and other bills to settle. All of these cost are offset from the proceeds of registration. Without that, exchange will collapse in due time.

Bitforex is a bad exchange. This exchange I use is not smooth, and fake volume. They use the bot to push the volume 24h up, and become one of the top 10 exchanges. Personally I do not like using this exchange and do not like the token listed there.

It's really a very strange question, but probably there are so many different jobs for the correct evaluation and trading of tokens in relation to other crypto-currencies, it's very strange indeed why

Some exchanges, especially exchange has big trading volume require pay for listing. Implementing one coin into exchange is massive work for dev team so it's easy to understand that. Getting listed on big exchange is important for one coin, it increases the liquidity and the coin flow.

Like you have to pay to advertise your token or you need KYC before join ICO. To avoid the case of developers selling their coin, scam tokens. Make money too easy if do not have fee to listing. Creat new trash token and it will list on exchange ? NO !

i think its normal if some token want to be listed on any exchanger need to pay the fee, for example you have a bussiness lets say its a minimarket, if you didnt have your own place then you must rent it right, i think its similar with the token fee listing.

The exchanges have no other option than to charge a listing fee for themselves. Revenues from commissions are too small

Because it is necessary for tokens and coins. If it is listed on the trading floor it will be valuable instead of becoming trash

Hi there. Thank you for your review of BitForex. But this is an example, I do not say that BitForex is the best exchange :D

These exchanges are businesses, its just one of their revenue streams. Think about it, if you had something other people wanted and knew they were willing to pay a lot for it, wouldnt you take that money?

big exchanges like binance, polo and yobit are good resources to have and definitely something you want to provide for your invstors if you are an iCO project. Look what happens when tokens get listed on trash exchanges like hitbtc, the bots take over and pump and dump the hell out of it, leaving the final token price at almost $0!

If your project doesnt have plans to list on a big exchange then you should reconsider them!

As far as my experiences, usually when a coin or token gets add to some hot exchange like binance or bittrex, the price goes up, and the founders of that coin or token becomes happy, coz usually they got a lot of that coin or token in their pocket!

Each exchange has its own policies, so each exchange also takes funds also different, this is reasonable and nothing is free.
Like real life who want to watch a movie in the cinema and have to pay for the entrance ticket.

I think some exchanges charge tokens for listing fee because it is like a service fee because some exchange plays a huge role in the token the better the exchange the better the token will be in the future like binance i think it is millions for a token to be listed there but there are some exchange that don't need payment only community voting but it is very hard because only one will enter the exchange.

Hmmm...one thing comes to my mind. Money. Everything in this world is about money. The sooner you realize that, the easier you will get through. It is no different with crypto and exchanges. That is one of the reasons why we need more decentralized exchanges like IDEX.

It is not necessary. But there are centralized exchanges out there that are more popular and have better volume than others. So ideally, if you are a developer or head of a certain project, you would also want your coin or token to be listed on exchanges that most traders/investors visit.

so the world of centralized exchanges is organized, business is business. They earn so much, unfortunately the income from commissions is not so good, as many people think about it. But if your project is good and popular - it can be paid to the stock exchange free of charge.

That is one of the undesirable things about a lot of exchanges these days, it is unfair to put so much of the ICOs proceeds just to get your tokens listed.

Very simply, when the market is vibrant, all ICO investors want their tokens to go to big exchanges so they can sell them at bargain prices. It makes the project team have to find ways to have their tokens listed on the exchange, and pay as quickly as possible.

For me it's like a business to business transaction they should pay for a sit to a good exchanger. This kind of partnership is great because some of the big exchanger is offering them a good services by making them to pay this kind of service. The project should be ready the exchanger like this so that their tokens will have a good price.

Exchange is an excellent business and it should bring profit to its creators. Projects are willing to pay large sums to get a large volume of trading and after the release of the popular stock exchanges the price of the token increases, it's good for the project.

Adding a token to an exchange for trading is usually a strict requirement from serious investors. After the end of the ICO, the development team is obliged to add its token to the exchange, where investors can sell their tokens or buy them profitably. If on the token sale project raises 10 000 000$, 10 BTC for the listing, in this case, is a very small amount.

I think it's to be sure that they will get their allocated space in the exchange bandwidth

I can be wrong here but it could be because the way of getting money and of such deal there are so much money. It is just profitable doing and nothing more.

Well getting enlisted in a exchange is like a recognition for the coins and they need to pay the exchange to get this. FOr this reason many shutcoins are found to be enlisted in good exchanges just by the power of money. I think they should also look into the standard of the coin before getting it listed.

ueah exchanges are all of that kind but i believe in the way this system is organised and i think this is for good only

that is true but only they and we as well shoyld be very attentive and look at suspisious things and do not let scammers fool us

For a bad project, they need to pay a huge fee to be listed in the shit exchange . Most projects now have to pay around 5-10 BTC to be listed on exchanges like idex or hitbtc.
To be listed on major exchanges like binance, Kucoin, Bittrex, the project must first be good and have a large community. They require coin quality before offering rates for listing because they can not lose their reputation when they list scam coins.

Most of the exchanges are want to gain money and these exchanges are located in the expansive areas. So they also need to money for maintain these exchanges.

I think the more projects with the concept of the exchanger, the more muddy new coins will enter the trading with payments that will be cheaper because of the competition factor.

Yes, it is because when token get listed on the big exchange like Binance, Poloniex and Kucoin etc. the demand and supply of token make them get a high value of users in trading that makes the project expensive in the market exchange.
That's the business way of exchange, just like you are renting a space in the public market just to sell your product and you need more people for the possibility of higher returns income from your product.

Based on this perspective I think fake ICO’s are trying to getting enlisted based on this situation they want to make money and so they are charging in various purpose based on this do not associate with such types of things.

That's absolutely right. Like you pointed out already, there is a great incentive to force your token on exchanges because the value of that token will can be inflated several times

It strongly depends on an exchange. Small stock exchanges with a small day volume take from 0.1 to 2 bitcoins for listing (I know the developer of one who takes 3 bitcoins for listing). The largest exchanges can take up to a million dollars. IMHO, the future behind decentralized exchanges, where users themselves decide the fate of the coin.

Well it could be the case that the fake ICO are trying to get them enlisted to make money out of the bogus project that they are trying to sell. So, they need to make money and in order to make money they charge in the entire list-coin-fee for this reason. It will be better to not to get associated with it since they might be dangerous.

There are other exchanges who do no charge any large amounts of fees to be enlisted in it. But the main reason that they do it because they want to make more money, their staff needs to be paid and for the sole purpose of the goodwill that is associated with the exchanges.

of course they want to make money especially those popular exchanges, but I don't think that they charges million of dollars just to get listed in exchanges, what kind of exchange is that? better to list in shity exchange just for free to get list lol.

This is actually not required but w do not live in a world were things run by ethics. The exchanges do that because they need money for their staff and all. But then there are other exchanges too who do not charge huge amounts of fees either.

Because when the coin is already listing in the exchanger the dev also will get profit from up and down the coins,the more traders buy sell the more profit also the dev so that when the volume of trading is high the dev also gain profit. When they successfully listing on big market the more trader will buy such coins,so from the exchanger gives expensive rate to fit in exchanger. ;D

Most of the good companies that create projects pay a lot just to enter the stock exchange. Payment is so big just because the exchanges do not want to lose their reputation. Why should they take shitty projects into development.

The exchanges need to make money in order to operate properly, hence, they collect the amount from the token or coin owner or CEO. Moreover, it removes the doubt that the coin is not a scam, since scam coin's owners would never spend so much behind listing their coins on the exchanges. But, sadly, the plan is not foolproof and scammers are taking the advantage of it.

That is to support that altcoin to its traders upon listing to the exchange market. We all know that most of the time, an altcoin gets dump upon listing on the market but might pump depending on the budget given to that trading platform or the team of the project manipulating the altcoin price itself. The trading platform need that token pay to protect their business against massive dump by the traders.

Yes normally. What do you mean why? So the exchanges can make more money obviously. If an exchange thinks the volume will be really high they'd probably list it for free.

when an exchanges sites list any coins without having to pay it will be crowded with shitcoins. well this is also business they want to earn too. maybe for themselves or the development of the site.

Strangely, why is it at all worth the money? I think that the exchanges earn only from the commission for the transfer of tokens from one place to another, just thought that the exchanges work like banks when you make money to them.

A very good topic indeed. The fees of listing coins are very high right at this moment and it is creating a problem for the organizations that wants to list the coins. Moreover, scammers are also bypassing it by paying large amount of money and later collecting it from the investors they are scamming. A verification would have been a better alternative in my opinion.

Like we will play games or play in the middle of someone else's field, it requires permission to play in that place, so just as we have coins we must be able to exchange the coins we have to where we want and we pay for the place and all the requirements. So this is already familiar to those who are used to exchanging coins as desired.

Please, i should suggest you to read the latest news how there was an ico has paid 5 millions to listed its token to the exchange site. Try to earn through the commission is not enough to be used for maintenance, profit taking, further development and more. I guess you have understand about this one dude.

Because this is a reward for exchange platform and usually its really huge. Some of the exchanges have voting listing, this is the best way to get listed I guess, but these exchanges are not so popular

Projects dresses exchange for their token has the life! They do not need to pay millions of dollars, for example, to enter the top exchange Finance need to fill 20 BTC for this industry is not much !

In new exchanges to be listed in the exchange is very low price maybe to none because the exchange is new and needs more users to use their platform.
While on the popular exchanges their team is larger and even busier which means it's hard to reach them and only the money can make them listen all for you.

Listing on exchanges is part of ICO investment for every team recent days. Even the exchanges site looking to make money out of it. Hence recent days most of the sites required certain amount of money to list the tokens on the exchanges.

Then we can use some legit exchange still available for the tokens listed with the people's vote on telegram channel or elsewhere. Only traffic for the exchange will not be source of profit that is why mostly looking for profit.

there are some exchanges who charged the team if they wanted their coin to be listed in a certain exchange, there are also some exchanges that is not necessary.

Well in Any business you must invest before you gain a profit. Its all effective to those ICO that creating a token that dont have much use. For them to increase the investors also the price they need an advertisement and investors who buys their token for them to get more profit. and with that this will be the entrance of exchange. exchange gives a chance to those ICO's to get more investors and to increase the price of token and the support of the exchange can make an ICO stand a long in the market.

This is because the crypto market is still very new in the financial environment and exchanges are making money by using this opportunity. A lot of projects, investors and others see an exchange listing as the main objective for a price pump on the token however this is not entirely true, a lot of tokens actually got a major dump after the listing happened. The foremost thing is token metrics and lock period of tokens on big investors and team and partners.

I think that more projects with the concept of swap, the more muddy money will enter into deals with payments will be cheaper because of competition factors.

I think exchanges suppose to collect payment for listing to pay their devs and other workers and their servers and other things but not in a huge amount of millions like bianance and I believe why they collect such an amount is because they have huge volume on their exchange and almost all the coins would want to be listed there,

This a bussiness strategy. The developer shows the amount of tokens onto a big exchange and whenever the price goes up, they sell it.

Well, we do not know what services the exchange offers for this money. Maybe it's even cheap.
Coins need to go to stock exchanges in order to be able to capitalize their projects. Without the exchange, no one needs any coins

because if the token does not pay to enter the exchange then there must be many tokens that do not have a project or a scam that goes into the exchange, thus making investors lose.

There are so many new exchanges coming into the market that the listing fees will be reduced across the board. Right now there are few good exchanges so they can charge huge listing fees. In Q1 next year there will be a glut of exchanges, and not just small pointless ones either

I agree, many shitcoins might enter even in great exchanges. paying at the exchanges will help to avoid shitcoins and those payment for the exchanges will be used in many things, like for the improvements of the site and so on.

Because owners of the crypto exchanges also want money. In addition if the stock exchanges were list all tokens there would be an altcoin cemetery that no one trades.

hello bro ,, they also work here, do you think to make an exchange that does not need capital? Is it necessary to keep the security of the trader's assets without the cost of sending a team? do they all want to work without being paid? this also aims to make shit coin not damage anything in the market because shit coin can't do anything without making bucks in a market that has a high trading volume.

ICO scammers make a shitty token with no utilization. they have it to dump and so as to have the capacity to dump, they require others in the market who are purchasing that futile token. a trade can give that market however since the token is futile, the main way they will give this administration is whether they are paid to.so in the end trades begin requesting cash to list anything.

If payment is excluded for listing a coin, some coin will be listed and run away without looking back to see how investors are really doing with the coin. Some will even listed in an exchange, with out making a buy order

There is nothing free in this world.And whenever it comes about earning money you have to put some money first as investments.When its about getting a token enlisted on exchange exchangers has to invest a lot of money.

If someone comes up with something new and useful, then this altcoins wants to have all the exchanges. Most coins and tokens have not proved their worth, so it's right that the team pays for the listing.
DOGE for free was listed on the exchange? ;D

Since there are requests from coin designers to get their coins recorded on a good trade. For what reason does coin dev/network need their coin to get recorded on a trade? There is a lot of reasons. The primary reason, however, is on the grounds that devs or network need to begin including "genuine cash" in their undertaking. They generally either need money out or control the cost.

Remember that some coins got listed because of votes.
If there is a reality in one project then they will list it without any questions.

The idea of paying is to avoid the due process also which takes a lot of time. Another is (maybe) the payment for those who will do a lot of research to see if one coin should be granted the listing.

Binance does have an expensive payment price for listing but this is also a good thing.
Shit coins cannot get near them.

Yes, you're right, they could not do it. But I think if this is not done then different types of shit coins can easily get place in the list which do not have any mission, and investors will be much more deceived.

Once in a while trick, ICO or phony ICO will attempt to list on trade to transform their non-esteem coins into cash. So they need to contribute list-coin-charge for this reason. I think those coins endeavoring to do this is peril and speculators ought to keep away from these coins.

We all know that exchangers are businesses where it isn't really surprising for this kind of thing for them not to do.Its their choice on having those fees for a certain coin to be listed specially when those exchange are on popular or top tier ones but still not all the times that they do ask out a fee because some of them don't really have those kind of set-up which it would matter if your project is worthy and do give out a product or innovation then it might be considered to be listed.

From my opinion, there is nothing wrong that they are charging a huge amount of money. They came for earning and they are doing it. The problem is sometimes some exchanges list garbage coins for money.

it is one of the main stream of profit for exchanges - tokens and coins that like to get good trading volumes before they become famous they need to pay fee. If coin is famous already - exchanges get profit by trading fees from this coin, but adding is for free - they are interested in it.

Because the exchanger is very important for the image of the coin and the appearance of liquidity in its trading. Without a good exchanger, even the most promising coin will fall.

Tokens and ICOs get big advantages when they become listed into a good exchange. That's why they pay a big amount of money. But i think verification of the coins is more important.

Established coins doesn't have to pay for being in the list. Struggling coins are often seen to pay these exchanges. But the bad thing is we often saw some worthless coins being listed in exchanges just because of money.

I think it’s one kind of policy and nothing but a business. For tokens I think it is necessary. It is also necessary to make a lot of money by exposing their coins.

I believe it is Necessary
Why ?

Because projects make a lot of money from icos
So when they pay little for exchanges , it’s no big deal

And also exchanges have to make money

Tokens is meaningless if cant be trade, like in real life you must pay fee if you want to enter in market, after you pay you can earn many profits from that market, because that market is famaous and many costumer there. Same with exchange, major exchange already have many member and if token listed there, will give profits to developers

If you look at it from a business perspective, you will realise that for the exchange itself to be successful huge amount of money has been spent and to maintain it hence it's only fair they charge a fee but sometimes the fee can be a little ridiculous though.

I think that the competition between the top exchanges is low, and so they dictate the terms. Good quality coins and tokens do not need to focus on exchanges, 1 or 2 is enough, then it is better to put money on the development of the project and the exchange will add them over time.

Exchangers charge fee for token listing as a part for operating cost, overhead cost, manpower and legibility but not there should be a strict rules and requirements like what binance did that not all all shit coins who paid  lot of millions just to get listed it has to be reviewed if the token and its project is all worthy and it is also gives an advantage to the investors as well.

Yes, it is true that the desired token in the exchange list must pay to an exchange with a substantial payment. there is also a free exchange but only counts a few fingers. This is due to the exchange that must be given to get money or profit, in my opinion it is natural to remain stable and not lonely with traders and also affect the token  :)

New tokens and existing tokens that has been seeking for much profitable trading exchanges wanted to be listed should pay for it, because it needs funds to assist the trading volume. Whithout that nothing will happen, we cannot sell and transact our coins in order to get profitable earnings.

Tokens pay for exchange listing to the exchanges because the exchanges spend a lot of money to build the exchange and the exchanges are there for business and not some sort of charity organization so for any coin to us their exchange, they have to pay

This is business, and if you want to operate with the good exchanges then you have to pay and comply with all the requirements. This is why some shitcoins only listed in not so popular exchanges. If that coin is really serious in making good project then listing in an exchange is not there problem anymore.

I think, one way or the other it help to know and rule out scam projects and attach some seriousness to the ICO project since no one will  just waste huge sums of money on something not useful but on regular basis it shouldn't have been so but hey the exchanges must also have to run, they are on their own and they cannot generate transaction platform for you without paying anything. If not anything at all their exchange platform was not created freely.

This is apart of crypto ecosystem,  company of exchanges also need money to give salary to the their staf and to expand their business.  Listing fee also will increasing number of new exchanges and they will to be give better service to the customer.

Almost all the centralized exchanges collect money to list tokens, and they do that because it is their business ans they need to take care of their infrastructure and staff but most of them collect so high, this is more reason why we need decentralized exchanges where listed is not required,

You need to pay a lot of money while listing new crypto. There are no regulations in the crypto market. To get a token listed on the exchange, some amount of bitcoin or Ethereum should be paid. But paying a huge amount, I think it’s not okay.

If this is not the case, the risk of investors will increase a lot and there will be a lot of cheating. Because the list is aimed at many objectives, and it will be difficult to guess good coins and fake coins.

there are many scam coin in the crypto market. in exchange they charge that much because here you can get legit coin because the fake coin or scam coin will not exchange by giving that much payment.

Maybe it's already the rules of the exchange, it proves the project isn't scam and proves the coin is worthy of a lot of people, but not all exchanges have to pay a lot as well as exchanges that only require the most votes for listings

In the crypto market, rules and regulations should be maintained. But there is no such kind of regulations commissions that’s why the exchangers charge a huge amount of bitcoin, Ethereum or dollars to list a token.

it's all about their strategy and increase their volume and another thing is to prevent scam coin from exchange that's why they charge high amount.

DEX doesn't ask fee though which is why its a lot better to just stick there, the only issue trading on DEX is that there's not much volume. You'd rather be staying on Exchange with greater volume than waiting on dex for someone to pick your orders. AT the current price, 1BTC for a list of coin is already ridiculous but some are asking more than 1BTC. Token pay is much safer and cheaper.

How not to say it, it's business. Any project wants the money that they collected by ICO to increase due to the increase in the price of the token. There are volumes on stock exchanges, there are buyers and sellers. While the tokens will be interesting to investors and speculators, the project will be out loud. Less funds will have to spend on marketing

Its part of the nature in this business, if developers wanted to have more speculators and investors they needed to allocate big amount of funds to be listed in much bigger and well known exchange, for my own opinion is been a politics from crypto market where teams who have a good understanding
will place huge capital making sure that the project they cater will be added to good exchange even paying a lots of money, targeting more people to
invest and support their project.

Binance is not cheap they also charge hefty fees. Only exchange I kinda liked is Bittrex, they sometime list for free (although they are strict on legal mumbo jumbo).

It’s ok if some amount of bitcoin, Ethereum or dollars can be charged to get listed a token. But charging a huge amount is not good. The lacking of rules and regulations made the crypto market more uncertain.

this is necessary to pay huge amount of dollars to get token listed on their exchange because they gives you the legit coin with proper monitoring. it ensure your security.

On account of an ICO — especially one professing to be an utility token — paying a trade to quick track a token's posting brings up a prickly administrative issue.

Projects have to pay for the listings in exchanges if they want to develop their tokens. Best projects are listed without any payments, but others paid. It also prevent traders from scam cause exchanges mostly make audit of projects before listing.

I think it depends on what kind of COINS, some well-known potential COINS can be traded without any cost, such as bitcoin, ethereum, and Wright coin.

For a bad project, they would have to pay a hefty fee to list on the exchange.

A business can not start without starting fund or what we say capital, some exchange are requiring a payment because most of the people sell their token on that exchange on the first day they saw it was registered... If you don't have any back up money for continues outgoing funds you'll go bunckrupt!

It is amazing that this practice has turned out to be typical, given that most new cryptographic money dispatches come as ICOs and token deal administrators are relied upon to utilize a bit of the assets they raise to advance their token.

Paying a trade to list your token is pretty much making an optional market, which is a factor that administrative offices, for example, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) consider while deciding if a token is a security.

Not neccessary if they have perfect product, big community support. Otherwise there are bigger risks involved then exchanges are charging.

And what will be the significance in the work of the exchanges? Do you think that they work for free? To enter a good exchange of the top , the token will have to pay for it.

It is necessary to pay the exchange platforms because to bring coins in the list doesn’t allow them to make money if they don’t take money. And nothing is in the world is free when the money is associated

The only problem with that is that some other group of people or team (which is scammers) are paying to get their tokens listed on the cryptoexchanges so that it would appear that they are legit and so they could deceive more. Just what happened to bitconnect, where it is listed in some big cryptoexchanges and appears to be good but in the end, it was just a pure scam.

Cause we have a lot of new projects. Some of them are real. Some ain't. Moreover, everyone in crypto wanna make profit from it.

This is simply a way for those people to make their coin more popular and more accessible because this in turn may lead to an increase in the price of the coin. This is why people struggle to get their coins on exchanges.

The exchange platform actually charge for their service they provide by listing the coins. It is not an easy thing that can be done free. That’s why the charge for the listing service

because quickly tokens or coins are in the market, the faster the income will also get, in other words
the coin turn and tokens will be fast, so that every developer must dare to pay in the market so that the coin or token is in a market.

Token developers try to make their coin available to most people and this is one of the reason they pay to the exchange to get listed. But sometimes scammers take advantage and pay for shitcoin to get on list.

When a token comes from ICO to market they normally pay a lot of money to the exchange to get listed on that exchange. Cause this market is now a race if someone think that they will be do whatever they want. For they can attract many people. And people don't lose them they have to go for a exchange. And also for investors they invest because they want some profit and . Also they have to liquid of their investment. That's why they have to go for a exchange and better exchange they grow more they promote their project. And also for more circulation. If
 So this is why they want to list their product on a good exchange.

I think that's a normal thing to be done to those ico earned coin, what if they don't pay to be listed that will be a kind of scam to people investing in the project, so as for me I find it right for project to pay before getting list on any exchange with even high charges, I think that will show more seriousness of the project. I hate when coin are been voted for to be listed they never come up with good price.

Since the cost of developing an exchange is very expensive, the operating expenses after development are also astronomical. If you own an exchange and are very popular, then you will naturally charge someone else. This is normal

well this has been going on for a while now even before i began my cryptocurrency journey. The method of operation is that tokens have to pay a huge amount before they get listed or the community votes for them and they get listed fo free

Good project will need their coin get listed on big exchanges. But no big exchange offer free listing so they must pay for listing. It's easy to understand. Team members also need to sell their coin in good price, in this case, big exchange is the only choice.

Although it is quite expensive to list on these major exchanges but developers who do not want the price of their coin to dump and are interested in the investment of their investors, they will still endeavour to list on them because of volume because low volume exchanges in most cases drop the prices of coin on exchange.

Because everyone is trying to bite off his piece of cake, some projects collect huge sums that they absolutely do not need. To develop and implement the project, they need much less money. Exchanges understand this and make them share.

as far I know some demands money and some don't it depends on the project policy and they take it as the survice charge do I think it is alright to pay a certain amount of money for earning a massive amount

Some exchanges have ridiculous listing fees in the millions but some are a lot more reasonable.  It's not necessary for a project to pay for a listing because decentralized exchanges have no listing fees.

very rightly said. people everywhere will look for benefits. and when there is a demand for projects on this exchange, why not take money from them. and for a free listing nobody wants to engage in

Business is business it cannot make a project without money involvement. Like what others exchange site have they are also started in a project until it made to be a well-known exchanger in digital cryptocurrency. That is why all tokens and coins are being listed in different exchange site depends on their capacity to afford.

My understanding is that the main reason of it the devs or the community wants to start involving the real money project. It mostly work want manipulate the price and cash out.

It's essential for secure and it will ensure to invest in safe place. If they do not charge, the scam currency will be listed in token and will run away without monitoring. They will justify and it will help you find a genuine token.

It is necessary. If they do not charge, the scam currency will be listed in token and they will run away without monitoring. it will provide security and ensure it is a genuine token.

Projects pay only for listing on the large exchanges. Small exchanges take these coins for free, it is beneficial to all.

It's urgent. If they do not charge, the scam currency will be listed in token and will run away without monitoring. They will verify and it will help you find a genuine token.

It is good in one way, the market of bitcoin and etherum is of millions and billion dollars. Small amount of money or coin don’t make a real change so they are not listed. Every exchange have its own rules and regulation to listing the exchange.

I have no idea why the exchange has anything to do with this, because the exchange from my point of view is all just a platform that has the ability to host user contracts. That's all I think.

Yes, because exchange providers will always support coins on their exchange platform. withdrawal and sending will be processed from the exchange provider. that is the reason why exchange providers require a listing fee for new coins or tokens.

The question is quite basic, they list the tokens to collect transaction fees from players and ICO teams. That is their main source of income

The list is the base of crypto market. We all know that there is plenty of scammers in the market. The investors and miners relay on the list. The list have plenty of important role on the market so the legit and legal is only listed on the list. So it shouldn’t be that easy.

Exchangers are privte company and need a income to operate,so i see no problem for them to collect fees for the acceptance of every coins or token to be listed,but what i wanna learn is what about shitcoins that willing to pay for fee to victimized more investors

I think it is indeed such a rule apply on crypto market. where the market becomes a sales service token. so crypto want listed on stock exchanges must pay the fees already determined. In addition it may actually be through vouting done this way, even without the use of fees for listing on the stock exchange, all dependent communities that support it.

Everything in the world is not free. as well as paying for listings in exchange. Usually a good coin project will list in a good exchange or vice versa, depending on the sales proceeds during the ICO. Also to indicate whether the project is truly committed or not to insert coins into their exchange.

There are many scammers and many scam coins comes in the market daily, if all get the access in the list so it will get priority and the investors will be cheated easily. Which is not expected by anyone. The list legalizes the coin , it indicates the coins liquidity so there are such rules to validate that.

The purpose of the coins or tokens created is economic. If a coin or token is not listed, it becomes shitcoin and has no value whatsoever to its owner.

Listing fee ensures that they are not to cheat people at least. As the listing site is looking into detail of every coin to before listing, that means they are giving opportunity to get listed to the best. So, their fee for listing is nothing surprising to me.

Not every coin has to pay listing fee, it varies coin to coin. Some coins are free to get listed and some are charged with huge amount. It actually depends on the popularity of the coin.

whenever a coin get listed, it gets some benefits also. So, if you want to get benefit by listing, why not to pay some amount to make more money?

If they really wanted to show the world that they have real use on blockchain then they should pay attention with most of those exchanges. Alot of people wanted to be rich by supporting their tokens. not to mention some other shitty coin had a chance to get listed on prestigious exchange and then suddenly it pump coz they have bunch of community on telegram.

IMO, it is beneficial for coin to be listed in exchanges and the listing fee is worth paying for. It attract more users to buy its coin and improve liquidity.

Can someone tell some good and cheap exchanges to get your coin listed onto?
The exchange should have fine userbase and shouldnt charge absurd fees as binance to list the coin on the exchange.

Both sides get benefit of it. And if they trust their projects and community I don't think it is necessary.

The reason for payment of listing fee is  because exchangers needs money to run and listing fee is one of the most significant source of returns for the exchange. The listing fee has been argued to be ridiculously expensive, most especially for the big exchangers and developers has to also part with significant amounts of tokens to keep up with liquidity in the exchange.

I hear that in old system the users have to pay a fee for exchangeing but in the new system many of them are not taking this fee so it is better if you analyzed the market then you will able to find the answers of your curiosity

Token companies pay for listing because the people that developed the exchanges spend huge amount of money to develop and maintain the exchanges, though not all coin are paid to be listed, but majority of the new coins coming into the market pay for their listing.

The majority of exchange sites will be charged a new coin to paid some amounts to be listed on there. As far as i know that the fact that you can see many coins have already published its price about how much you need to pay to be listed on there. This has become a usual thing because exchange site needs to get more money.

I am sorry but I don't have much idea about this topic but if you think simple then it is a fact that you have at least spend  a minimum money to earn a massive amount  of profits so in here things also works like  that

because an exchanger will of course cost to keep running the market. And the team involved in the exchanger also need a paycheck. No wonder if it will usually be charged. As is the case in conventional banks.

For now, what most exchanges are particular about is making shit load of money and for the fact that we tend to see projects that instead of being attractive to investors and make an exchange want to list it to at least be able to get from the trading fees, they tend to charge so much for listing it in the first place.

It is something we will just have to cope with since we are in a decentralized world anyway. Now, projects are so much about making money anyway and more like something related to companies, so one way or the other, this has been able to bring an avenue of exchanges using that medium to make money.

You know m, this is just like in the real world… those that are still starting up got to pay for them to be listed but by the time they get popular they wouldn’t have to pay any money, rather exchanges will list them for free. Another thing is that no exchanger is ready put a shit coin on their list, so don’t even expect that… no matter how much you’re paying makes no sense at all, it’s only good coins that makes it to the list.

Understandable, but do not forget that exchanges still charge hugely on fees as well and they make shit loads of it anyway daily. However, this is a decentralized world and it is normal to see people do whatever they please and since they have been able to build a useful and valuable platform, and with respect to how competitive the space is with the number of coins and tokens hitting the market daily, I guess it is a normal thing for exchanges to require listing fees.

because if the token does not pay for listing on exchanges there will be a lot of trash tokens that enter the exchange so that the market and crypto will not survive too long.

If you are listing on a centralized exchange platform,  you have to be aware that there are various cost that keep centralized exchange afloat. Exchange will pay for hosting,  servers and both hardware and software expenses.  This cost is covered from listing fees!

I guess,It is required for any crypto exchanges and aside from that in that way they've earn Income from every token listed to their exchange, so their exchange will live longer as much many token wpuld like to list on their exchanges.

Demand forms a proposal. There are a lot of projects that are willing to pay millions in order to list on big centralized exchanges. For most of them listing on Binance or Bittrex is the only chance to pump coin price, after what the team will be able to dump their share. Exchanges know that and therefore they have lost their shame and the greed took over them.
Decentralize exchanges should fix this. And actually we can see that step by step focus is shifting from CEX to DEX

When we see the list, we'll know what exchanges are safe and secure. Some exchanges have its strategy to attract us. Big exchanges have high volumn and good effect. We can transfer more on them.

That's how exchanges work, and they need a lot of money to list tokens that have enough potential in the market.

They need to make money, and in order to make money, they will charge a fee on the entire list for that reason.

Exchangers have their own rating and they are so important in crypto. But I am not sure about paying as well, maybe it is like the reward for their work.

I think most of these exchanges are outhere for business and there use several avenues to make money, the huge listing fee paid by ICO developers is one of them but I think most exchanges have the option of community votes for listing but that is a game of numbers and chance

In some cases it is free,especially is your coin is unique like ethereum, you can be listed for free even on top exchange via voting.
Also there are decentralized exchanges where listing is free.

The answer is very simple and banal, owners of the exchanges want to receive a payment for granting the platform. It is not favorable to it to listit tokens free of charge and to get profit only from the commissions, it is very small sum. And they need to contain the website, to pay the workers and to earn money to itself a living.

Nowadays there is no free business world.
You forget that crypocurrency is a huge business field and you can see how much billion of dollars in coinsmarketcap circulates there.

It depends on an exchange most of the big exchanges which are high in demand require more fees to list the coins as it is having a lot of user base to trade & as a result high liquidity of that coin will be on that exchange. Most new exchanges which are emerging charge very low fees or even they list free of charge just to get started with their exchange & to attract new ICOs plus traders.

With huge number of coins they have to be list on a top exchange for getting attraction of crypto market. So with this reason top exchanges have huge amount for get money from team members. But I think it is more important to release product before exchange listing. If project successful exchanges would not important people would buy from any exchange.

Practice when projects pay for listing on the stock exchange is very bad. After all, from the budget collected for the development of an idea one has to pay a significant part of the same binance.

As far as I know all the tokens currently on the big exchange have to pay to be listed on it. Or if you do not have to re-share a large number of projects for that exchange

I am totally against the huge money charged by exchanges just to get a token listed. This has contributed to the disappearance of some projects who were unable to pay the high exorbitant fees to get it listed on good exchanges.

In my opinion when you have created an ICOS campaign and found out the token. If you sell to investors without going to the exchange, then who dares to invest in ICOS. So the exchange site for token development and transaction is widely known. So the amount of pay is huge when the owner of the token gets a lot of benefits as the currency grows well in the near future.

1 If you don't list your coin/token on a big exchange then investors which invest much, 100k and more won't be able to sell them becuase DEXes have a small volume.
2 Exchanges gain money.

In my opinion, the token listed on the exchange will be a guarantee to investors when participating in ICO campaigns. When they put money to buy tokens, the list on the exchange is required. Therefore the token founders have to pay to get the list on the exchange is huge. Besides that they will benefit greatly when it is listed on the exchange because people will know more about that coin and they will invest more. And the value of coin will increase.

Yep. I think it's needed if you want your token to be listed on a good exchange like Binance or Bittrex. Although there are so many crypto exchanges but I think there is no ICO project want their token only be listed on a normal exchange and isn't well known. But there are so many good tokens listed on good exchange by voting without paying any BTC or ETH :)).

I think this is a normal practice. Moreover, it is beneficial not only for exchanges, but also for projects. When a coin begins to be traded on the  exchange, usually the price immediately increases several times. And it gives a huge profit to developers.

It is very profitable for a certain token to be present at a large exchange, since this fact solves the problem of lack of liquidity, and will also be able to attract new investors. And the exchange does not work on a gratuitous basis, so it has the right to demand a fee,within a reasonable course.

Exchanges pay a lot of money for advertising and want to take money back. Also some tokens isn't interesting and usefull. Developers of such token ready pay money for listing.

The exchanges are also out there for business. They are aware that you will not create a token and keep it to yourself. You must trade it, and as such you must go to them. Charging for listing is normal for continuous maintenance of the platform for better services.

Because that is clear mate. Like you want to eat some food in restaurant with michelin star or you can eat some food very cheap prices from street.. That is kind of that..
We can say binance to michelin star restaurant and idex is street food. You know also binance is the famous and biggest brand in the crypto currency world. And that fees are normal
in my opinion. Lets think binance have all of the coins which cmc have. 2k coin with binance.. Can you imagine that. So that is necessary in my opinion.. fees should be in that space

Well in this industry nothing is free, you have to pay money for listing in the exchange. Anyway it will benefited the developer once the project listed in the exchange. This will provide profit once their is investors on the project.

if in my opinion the token must pay for listing of exchange is so that the tokens cannot be carelessly entered into the exchange, because if not then a lot of tokens that scam will enter into the exchange and for the exchange income, because in my opinion exchange is a service, then we have to pay it.

I think this is done, so that more people will see and be aware of the token. this should also be done in conjunction with the project itself, because if you only hope for listings in the exchange and expect prices to rise, it will be difficult. but if only with the release of the latest development of the project, eat that is what is expected

Exchanges is also a company, it is like being partnered in their company once they were listed in the exchanges, its a business thing.

Almost all exchanges rely on funds to operate, but they are too violent to charge, and all of them are investors' money.

If earlier almost any coin for money could get on the exchange, now the exchange is very selective in the choice of coins.If the project obviously scam-it is unlikely it will add.

Maybe a simple reason for business at the exchange place. I exemplify that if you have a company producing a product, you want the product to be in a supermarket.

The exchange charges a commission as proof that trading on it will give you more chances to make a sale. Exchange more popular

The annual operating costs of open exchanges are very high. High quality exchange is also a symbol of strength. Therefore, coins that can be listed on such exchanges must have strength. This is also a kind of protection for investors.

If a token appears on a popular exchange, then its value increases, the interest of potential buyers increases. Therefore, developers are willing to pay for their coin to be traded on this exchange.

Because if the token is listed on one of the top exchangers (like finance or Bitrix), it will receive the necessary liquidity and will be taken seriously by potential investors. IMHO

Actually, I think it's wrong. Exchangers should not require millions for listing coins because it is not as effective as many think and just not fair. IMHO

in the world of trade it is always demanded to do the best for the convenience of its consumers so if you want to get trust then they should put tokens into a trusted market too. but I think the reason is not only that, because in my opinion, not all tokens that enter the exchanger are worth increasing, but at least they have the opportunity to get the best price, because in the famous exchange, the trading volume is also large.

Well some projects are very believable in their project and in order to popularize it they invest money so that the best exchangers have added their project to their exchanger.But in general if the exchanges did not take money for that, then the projects would not be paid.Everyone wants to make money ;)

Exchanges wouldnt let any coin use their platform without any fees. some charge millions because the exchange already reputable and large user pool, hence the price is much more expensive.

In the past, exchanges are always looking for a quality project with large community they want to list on their platform. One of the key factors they look for in a coin to be listed is popularity, tech! I hope we get back to what used to be so there will be sanity in the crypto ecosystem!

Because there are a lot of tokens, so there is a competency , that's why exchanges should claim listing fee.
Another reason is that exchanges should gain money as well.

Because in this way they filter out bad projects and maintain their reputation. And in the future they will not have to remove from the list of coins that which no one wants to trade.

The increase in the demand for listing on exchange have led to competition to be listed! There are limited space for coin to be listed at any giving time and there many project wanting to he listed, naturally something has to give . The higest bidder will secure listing!

Because if tokens are not listed, it be considered dead shitcoin. If you are a developer and investors are exclaiming right on your face about the token be listed on the exchange, you might see the price of the token dip to its lowest when all of them sell at the dex. If will affect your reputation as a develop.
There are many tokens are not yet listed on exchanges though, the team prefer to just develop their project than paying.

It depends on the exchange, the reputation of the exchange that a coin is listed on can do a lot to the price and value of a coin. Only the biggest and best exchanges charge a lot of money but when you are saying millions of dollars then you are just exaggerating. These exchanges are projects on their own and projects need money to run, they cannot make their services free
