Hello,
I intend to list tokens on some big exchanges. However, it is quite time-consuming as I have to wait for their response after completing several forms. Do you know any faster way to contact them? And which exchanges should I list the tokens? (Our company is located in the US).
Many thanks.

as i know there is no faster way to get listed on the big exchange unless you are willing to pay
i found this post about listing fee for your coins to be listed on an exchange but i don't know if the info is correct or still same?

Many thanks. The list is really useful for me, I can know more exchanges to contact.

Just a word of caution. Many exchanges are known to manipulate trading volume. Some just survive on listing fees. Doubt you would want your token listed on an exchange with minimal/fake trading volume.

Here are some sources you can check:

1) https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/

Am aware about criticisms regarding their methodology so use their information with a pinch of salt.

2) Bitwise Asset Management presentation to the SEC.

Would like to draw your attention to page 60 where it states "Only Ten Exchanges Have Actual Volume". They are:

1. Binance
2. Bitfinex
3. Kraken
4. Bitstamp
5. Coinbase
6. BitFlyer
7. Gemini
8. itBit
9. Bittrex
10. Poloniex

Personally would stick with these exchanges only. Maybe apart from S/N 2 given the issues it is currently facing.

Also, to note that this report is recent (Mar 19) and covered 81 exchanges which they claim covers "practically every relevant exchange."

Good luck with your listing!

Introduction

The cryptocurrency exchanges are the prominent players in order to stabilize the cryptocurrency market which is well known for its volatility. Basically, there are two types of cryptocurrency exchanges. The most dominant one, where 99% of all the cryptocurrency transactions is vested with the Centralised crypto exchanges. On the contrary, only 1% of the total transaction is managed by the decentralized exchanges. However centralized custodial cryptocurrency exchanges are highly vulnerable to attacks and this is self-evident from the Mt. Gox and Coincheck incidents. However, decentralized exchanges are on the rise as they absolutely comply with the actual version of Satoshi Nakamoto. Long story short, decentralized exchanges are the future of cryptocurrency trading. Let us see how exchanges are important for your ICO tokens and how to list token on exchange.


How Are Exchanges beneficial?

Token can get listed in big exchanges ones the token owners can meet the demands of the exchanges also token can get listed on some exchanges that allows investors to vote for the token the want listed on there exchange the token with the highest gets listed

It's good if your token will be listed in Binance, but you have to pay for the price, you want big exchange right?
I think they also have a procedure to follow, they will might conduct some background investigation of your project and if you qualified, then you'll eventually get listed.

Binance is a top recommendation and would be first choice if the project is really planning to do some marketing and attract new investors. Listing on Binance is not cheap but the advantages are reasonable for the price. The users and trading volume is real there and you'll actually get the promised attention to your project.
Rather than listing on several shitty exchanges I would use the money to list it instead on a big and famous quality exchange (like Binance).

If your token has little to no publicity at all, even if you can pay the fees, good luck getting them listed. For now, focus on decentralized exchanges and the smaller centralized exchanges, and actually focus on your product first before actually trying to sell it.

 

Agreed, most small, unpopular projects even from a few years back list on decentralized exchanges first. I guess this is to avoid exchange fees and to make their coin somehow valuable. But the main focus here should be the product itself. Without listing on big exchanges will be hard.

But you have to make sure you have a good product to sell,  that's the use of having a big market if you don't have something big to offer.
I mean investors nowadays are smarter, if we check all the coins that are listed in Binance, not all of them have a decent volume, and the risk if your coin getting delisted while you pay big for the listing.

I think any exchange that is established/not shady  and can provide the enough liquidity can serve your purpose.
Since you already wrote here that you have already filled form and did not get any response so it point to 2 things.
1. They are not interested in listing your token.
2. They can  be busy with other current application.

You can try to build a community around your token and enhance your product and in a mean time you can list your token in exchange that meet your requirements.

Even with payment of the listen fees you will still have to wait to go through all forms of documentation and finally getting approval the time it will take can not be speculated as it totally left for the exchange to decide. If your team and token is legit then you may get approved on time but if not you application may be decline at any time.

You can apply for

HotBit they may charge 3-5 BTC for listing and they take around 7 days to list your Coin.

Another is LiveCoin, not sure how much they charge but they take 1-2 weeks (https://www.livecoin.net/en/coinlisting) to list your coin/token.

The third one is coinexchange, They take maximum 7 days (https://coinexchangeio.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/9000149877-applying-to-list-your-coin-token-on-coinexchange-io-) to list your coins/tokens.

The fourth one is mercatox, They take 3 days to 3 weeks (https://mercatox.com/adding-coins) to list your coin/token. Depends on workloads.

Listing on other exchanges may faster if provided details are accurate.

It's best to focus with your product instead of wanting to be listed to a big exchange, you can proceed to that after supporters / investors finds your project usable and have a good potentials,  there's decentralized exchange who can cater the trade while you are working for your project, most of those
developers are taking this to begin the process, if your project is really successful, exchange site will  add your coin as  popularity will help to bring
more traders inside.

To list on top exchanges a token or coin will cost a lot, is better to focus on development and over time if is a good project some top exchange may list it without paying list fee.

Do we have an updated info regarding this? Sorry for the bump ~

Binance has been known to  not charge listing fees (https://mobile.twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1122424740180742144) if your coin uses some kind of especially good technology. I would suspect other exchanges would do the same if your coin is especially promising and stands out from other coins.

Same goes for (no listing fees) Bittrex and Poloniex, they will list it if they like / want it.

I remember before Binance is running a competition for community coin of the month, and if such coin will win, they will list it for free.
one of the coin I know which I also invested is https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pundi-x/, this project enjoyed the free listing unfortunately it was dump in Binance.
