No way ::)
The listing fees of the best exchanges are huge, so any project can be listed for money and it is not the best coin for that.
Moreover one should not rush to invest after seeing the listing on a good exchange because the development of the project will be more dependent on an investor.

There are many coins that get delisted from good exchanges because their volume decreases and investors decrease, the main reason being poor development progress.

That's right that listing fee in good exchanges requires hefty sum of money.

But, there are partnerships that these projects can enjoy with these exchanges if ever they'll offer it to them and they oblige. Or, if the exchange sees them as a good and potential coin.

By that, they can flee with the fee but AFAIK, they need to give an amount of share of the token that they're working on.

To answer your question, it is a no. Partnership to a platform will be required in order to list a token. Therefore  it is safe to say that not all good tokens will automatically be listed on exchanges. Maybe popularity of the project, paid partnership, or is it just those/that exchanges are choosing to list a token because they saw something from it which is more likely having relation to a token or project's popularity and demand from its investors.Exchanges won't mind picking the best ones but rather only those which have a volume will be listed to most of the exchanger platform. At the least, listing to a known exchanger, would benefit the token or management behind it as well.

Maybe its true. Theres a fee but there are projects that are listed for free and exchange can gain advantage on this due to their indemand capability to have huge volume. Meaning there are lots of people that trading that coins and big exchanges favor that, see most airdrops projects that get listed surely they are free of fee.

Not really no? Most new coins, as long as they pay enough (and probably pass some number of requirements that the exchanges will set, just to filter out really, really bad ones) can get listed in an exchange. You wouldn't see shit coins popping out otherwise. It's also kind of hard to determine what "good" means in the first place, if it was price then how? It's new. If it's the volume of trading, then again, the same answer, it's new. So you can only rely on what they can show, which is the project details and white paper, which align to imo, the requirements that exchanges set as, well, "required".

I reckon exchanges just accept new coins to take money, then just delist them if they fail to pass a certain mark, as you've said.

The caption is a click bait and I fell for it. I was curious why someone will give such an advice to people. When I was a newbie , and had thought that once it is listed in an old exchange, that everything will be OK with the project. Little did I know that it was all about money and fees and business and not members

OP, for your information, not all coins are listed for a fee. Exchanges including Binance sometimes list certain coins because of the hype and high trading volume so that they can gain from the trading fees, so it's a win-win situation until a coin turns into a scam.

Other times, coins are listed through community voting contests.

I think it's not just about the money, there's going to be background checks for it as well. Imagine just paying the 50BTC listing fee (IIRC that's the amount for Binance? Correct me if I'm wrong), that's a significant amount now and you need to really check if you have the budget for that. That''s going to be troublesome if you just paid it and you have no benefit completely.

It's not just poor development that get delisted, but probably low volume on that specific exchange.

True and we often experience this during a bear market.
One of the benefits of a bear market is this, clearing the market, all scam or poor development projects are being cleaned off the market.
We must also learn that not all the new coins that being listed on top exchanges are not mean they are good already.

Listing and delisting cryptocurrencies is an activity that needs to be monitored by a regulatory body, otherwise it will turn into a door to corruption, as exchanges can blackmail developers by removing it or forcing them to pay more money. Developers may exploit it by withdrawing liquidity, creating a fake pump and reaping more profits. Both developers and the platform may agree to manipulate the price. Especially if the currency is listed on a limited number of platforms or arbitrage between several platforms is difficult.

We cannot consider it as a criterion for investment, but it can be said that the currency that is listed in a few exchanges is a scam and at best a bad investment that should be avoided.

Development and roadmap are everything, that defines a platform and its performance in the market depends on it, That is why investors should check the capability and motivation of the developers, and investors should follow the updates on the development so in case the developers dump their shares you can also dump your share too.
The worst thing is you are late in dumping your shares and you end up as bag holders, thereby losing your investments.

It's true that some cryptocurrency exchanges charge significant fees for listing new tokens or coins. Investors should not base their decisions solely on the exchange a cryptocurrency is listed on. Instead, they should conduct thorough research into the project itself. Also, It's Important for investors to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios to manage risk.

Projects that lack consistent development updates, fail to meet milestones, or demonstrate a lack of transparency can lose investor confidence and may eventually face delisting from exchanges.

Delisting occurs periodically on major exchanges when certain coins fail to meet the exchange's established criteria, resulting in their removal. However, being listed on a top exchange doesn't assure the success of a project it could falter significantly post-listing. Therefore, we shouldn't assume that being on a top exchange guarantees success. Additionally, I've observed numerous instances where coins are listed for free on major exchanges due to substantial market hype and demand. Even exchanges prioritize their own benefits, regardless of whether they are top-tier exchanges or not.

Yes, it is. Listing on a top exchange never guarantees that a project will not turn out to be a scam. Among the latest such projects are terra and ust. No one would have thought that such a big scam would happen. Or for example, in 2017 there was such a project bittorrent, which at that time was traded on all the top exchanges.

Nope, there are only few good coins, while the rest which is 99% are actually bad coins.

Top exchanges only list a coin that has a big traffic, popular, has trading volume, and not privacy oriented. Monero is a good coin, but since it's a privacy coin, many centralized exchange delisted this coin.

A high liquidity and popular coin isn't always a good coin, take a look with FTX token, UST, LUNA etc.

Community, stability of the project token and innovations are the basis for the development of the project. TFS token shows very good development, I think they have a good perspective, considering that they already show good results

The average coin is good in my opinion but it only lasts for a while there are some networks formed that have high potential but they are slow to adapt so the technology lags behind other competitors so the coin is a coin that has no value today, regarding FTX and Luna, in my opinion, is good if you look at the coins, but the development and management were not good, causing the destruction of the coin project itself, as well as the coins on the exchange, but it's true that exchanges only take advantage of the volume of traffic to make a profit, good coins are subjective it's up to one to see the value in the project itself, twbut no coin is as good and strong as bitcoin.

It's actually wrong. If you were talking about low tier exchange site and you do need money to be listed there but the different method when it comes to the major exchange sites. The major exchange site has very strict requirement to be completed first before you will able to list your token there.

People just need waiting for the hype to go first. It's caused by people can be trapped by hype.
I often saw people were thinking if the price of token can go even higher after the pump and this totally wrong.

True, some were also being scam tokens caused by the dev was just rugpulling its investors. Exchange site is always monitoring the developments from the projects.

I think that not good coin but good project which can raise good amount of fund from tokensale are listed on top exchange. Because they can manage the listing fee of top exchange. But those that cannot raise a good amount of funds are listed on low quality exchanges. So everything depends on the fund and the fund depends on the investors.

I don't know why anyone would buy something based on what exchange its on because you are right.  With the right amount of money most of these exchanges will list your coin.  Even if they don't pay theor way it means nothing, there could be many nefarious reasons for this.  Who knows insiders at the exchange could have a bag they want to pump.  Either way don't go by what exchanges it's on.

i consider a coin a good one if they have actual usage in this market. where their clients are indeed using them for certain use. however, most of these alts are just to enrich their respective developers. hence, most are just being used as pump and dump coin. also, look for the developments of the project. if it is stagnant and just pure talk, then the team is just buying time before they abandon the platform.

This is a big challenge for every project to get listed on top CEX, because the fees are high and it requires volume so you can stay on their platform. If the project’s goal is to stay longer then its better for them to create a more competitive platform just like the other projects where you don’t need to apply for the listing because the exchange itself will initiate your listing because of the demand on your project and you don’t need to worry about the fees anymore.

Yes, indeed, sometimes fees for listing on the good top exchange limit some potential new coins. In this case, not all good coins are able to list on the top exchange for their initial listing. On the other hand, not all coins listed on top exchanges are good coins. Because sometimes, they do have high hype when they are just listed on top exchanges. But unfortunately, there are some of them who are unable to maintain their position and have not been able to develop their potential, so that some are easily delisted from top exchanges. In this case, actually the top exchanges are at least able to provide pretty good results, but not all new projects can actually develop and survive on the top exchanges.

thats not really the truth here, even I've encountered many shit project in binance alone you could simply say that shit project will be listed more in other exchanges with lesser reputation.
even you should already know that many meme coins are getting listed in various top exchanges, not because they are fundamentally good project its because
they could attract attention of many speculators thus increase trading volume of the exchanges for certain period of time which might be beneficial for them since they could
simply reap the benefits from the trading fee alone. even though that might not be significant for them but retaining massive trading volume is what makes an exchange a good exchange.

It's crazy to think someone would pay a hefty sum of money just to get his/her token listed on a centralized exchange. Only a group of developers that are well-funded (probably through an ICO) will be able to do this. You can see why the crypto market is dominated by "Wall Street" these days. Those with a lot of money hold all the cards to make an specific cryptocurrency project rise all the way to the moon. This is sad because we're moving away from crypto's original purpose.

Regarding your question if only good coins are listed in an exchange, I'd say that's not necessarily the case these days. I've seen "shitcoins" being listed on prominent exchanges like Coinbase and Binance just because they want to follow the hype. This means more money in their pockets as they collect trading fees. Just because a coin gets listed in an exchange, doesn't mean it's worth the investment. You need to do your own research prior to making any investment decisions. Unfortunately, most people don't do this and end up getting "rekt" in the process. Crypto is still in its infancy, so I'm confident it will mature in the future. As long as it stays decentralized, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

True, Many coins/tokens were delisted due to lack of demand and development. and this is where it reads and the issue a is fundamental and what is hot and new for me is that Paxos will end the redemption of BUSD in January 2024. will there be any changes for Hodl BUSD before the deadline for converting to usdt.

The stock exchange market only functions as a third party that brings together sellers and buyers. Good exchanges do have standards in selecting the coins they will list on their markets. But they can also delist the coin from their exchange if there has been a lack of trading volume. So big exchanges actually prefer the coins they list because it affects the credibility of their exchange.

There are a number of coins that are used to steal investors' money through ponzi schemes or other frauds through coin development, I don't deny that because there are indeed many incidents that we have witnessed to this day.
Paying attention to development and the ecosystem, as well as looking at activities in the ecosystem, needs to be continuously monitored because that is what makes an altcoin project develop.
That is if we really want to be careful in assessing an altcoin that we buy, as the principle of being an objective crypto investor regarding the future expectations that will be given by project developers to their investors.

Sad but true, we already evolved a lot that this has change the rules of the game, now, it's very different, anyone can make a coin and developed in and then instant profit for them because there are a lot of groups that is willing to pump it up.


Exchanges had to make some money too, so their business model is that if a coin is not selling then they as might as well delisted it. But it's not instant though, I mean they will be given the chance (developers), to make the coin active again.

But if it is already dead, then there's no other choice but to removed them.

An exchange has the coins to thank for making it relevant and for creating room where the ideals of the exchange is expressed in terms of its service delivery and customer care.
The good long standing, time tested, reliable and more stable coins always make the top of the list if an exchange is to gain customers and remain in business. BTC, ETH, BNB, make some of the top coins because they have existed long time now and still show potential to do better with upgraded development and good rates.
I don't think any exchange willing to remain in business for long would consider listing altcoins without potential to withstand market volatilities on its exchange. It's simply bad for business.

Not all. There's a bunch of altcoins that were delisted during the bear market, most of those coins were listed during the market where everybody is making good profit so I think that the listing fee is not that much compared to the possible profit that developers can make on the market. Being listed on a top exchange can really have an impact to a token especially on binance LOL. I've seen many projects that are sky rocketing after it was listed on binance and of course dropping down as the hype expires.

Even bad coins are being listed in the top exchanges that later on turns into a scam project, and this happened many times already.
The cost of listing to top exchange might not that expensive if they have the funds to support the project and thinking about the possible profit that they can get from the investors, I'm sure listing is not their problem at all. Well, new projects have to build their system first and have a good community to support their projects, listing is one way to tell that the project is doing good but again this is not a guarantee that the project is worth investing, better to look on the other side and understand the project too.

Yes, I totally agree with what you mentioned, as the success and future of altcoins does not depend on their listings in the exchange platforms, even if they are top exchanges in the market, but the newly listed tokens on the famous exchange platforms are attractive to investors because they still have an excellent opportunity to be entered by investors and traders at a low price, and they can be pumped after opening trading on them for a period and after increasing the demands for their purchases, and also if the token is listed on platforms such as Binance or other famous platforms in the market, so this will reduce the possibility that the currency be a scam token, because there are fundamental and technical criteria that Binance requires from the currency team, besides the large fees for listing their currency, such as the basics of the project, the reputation of the team, its expertise and advisors, community support, the whitepaper, the basic technology of the project, the roadmap and many other more stringent criteria, but of course, the future of the token does not depend primarily on its listings on exchange platforms. The token may fail and be delisted from the exchange platform and from the rest of the other platforms, as happened with Terra Luna and others. There are other, more important factors that the investor should take into consideration and do his research before making his investment decision.

   -    As far as I know, there are good crypto coins that are listed on the top exchanges for free as long as they meet the required requirements. Then the exchanges that offer free listing on their platforms are gate.io, Hitbtc, Mexc, and Lbank.

They differ only in fees, which are not far from the big exchanges in the crypto industry. So it is not true that there are no good coins listed on the top exchanges, even though it is not that big a name in the crypto industry, to my understanding.

Exchanges only list coins that have a good budget. Exchanges are not interested in technology, fundamental properties, utility and other functions of a coin. If a coin has liquidity, then it will be represented on all the top exchanges. Exchanges are interested in volume and liquidity, so don't be surprised if you don't see projects with unique technology or super-fast blockchain on major exchanges. No one is interested in that unless it's funded by someone, and it has no distribution among crypto influencers and opinion leaders.

These developers think that a reputable or big exchange will be a tool for them to gain more responds from the community and a ticket to their success. But unfortunately, it was not only the thing that they must consider as these investors are not just after those coins that are listed to big exchanges but also, it matters how useful it was in the crypto space. Even if it was listed like in Binance, still there is no assurance that investors will choice their projects unless it shows good development which could gain more interest to the community.

Back then, you could easily find some coins that were good for investment just before they got listed in some big exchanges like Binance and once they got listed you have just made a tremendous amount of income because their price would spike and multiplied after that. But that's not really the case every time because others took the opportunity to lie to their investors about it and until now they haven't been listed in any big exchanges. right now, the right thing to do is to update your knowledge about investment because whatever trends the scammer will always mimic it and confuse you about their scam projects.

I think its right because a good coin have a good team and they want to survive there project in hard situation and the good team want there project make  will be a successful project in future so a good coin easily list in top exchange..
Anyone want to invest crypto so first of all gain knowledge about crypto and the project..

I was thinking that these big exchanges are not just asking for huge fees but are only listing legit projects or those projects that show a massive impact in the crypto space. We know that it is a business, they can't bring on the table without a return so they will delist projects that don't give them profit as well. This is to note for the developers that they would not be confident enough because they are listed on top exchanges. It was still an obligation to keep their project moving in order to gain more demand and interest.

Although not everything is due to fees, because if it is a project that is already running well, a coin that has high trading volume and market cap, and has an interesting use case, especially hype, then usually they can more easily enter the top exchanges. Although perhaps they should be there. in small exchanges first, especially. However, when the project is a new project, it will be very difficult for them to enter without a fee. Usually, if the new project has a lot of money and is able to list directly on top exchanges, this will be extraordinary.

Although in fact it will not guarantee that the coin will forever be listed on the exchange or expand to other top exchanges. This will depend on how they develop their coin and convince investors and traders that the coin is really worth it and will not disappoint. Because listing on a top exchange does not guarantee that the coin will continue to rise and develop, many end up being delisted because they only relied on the hype at that time. So, after the hype is over, their era seems to be over and the developers don't seem to care anymore.

its actually easy to distinguish which of these coins are lying about their listing though, just simply see whether from the exchange side they've made some announcement or not then you can easily figure out whether the news of listing in big exchange was simply a bull.
moreover nowadays many are just using other company logo and insert it into their partnership thinking they've made some partnership with them meanwhile sometime its just because they utilizes the binance smart chain and they call it having partnership which we know is kind of fraudulent but some project just went with it thinking they might deceive people and comes out of it gathering many people's money.
this is why having the skill to analyse is of essence.

It's like the first achievement that they wanna reach. Most of its investors are going to cheer for them if they wanna get into a top exchange. It is going to cost them a lot but if the value of the token they own have already increased significant value then they'll just have to take the money from there and all is good for paying the listing fee.

The basics like the background of the project and the team that's working behind it. You'll never know if they are for real if you haven't done so and that's why it is important to DYOR at all times.

The fact that the said project has that huge money and afford to pay for a listing to be listed on a top exchange, does mean they are somehow serious in the development, at least in most cases. I mean, they are not just into creating hype or something. In most projects, one of the factors that investors are looking at is the funding status of the project and not just the project is relying too much on financial support from partnered companies.

Well then, whatever the case is, a much improved DYOR should always be prioritized in action before considering putting up money on a certain coin.

We know that hype is already part of the crypto world and if anyone will just ride it without enough knowledge, we know where they will end up in most cases.

Nevertheless, we know for sure that the exchange team is conducting research before the token gets a listing. And this study will be performed at a higher level than the one that you will conduct yourself. So an outright scam will not have a listing on CEX even for a lot of money, unless of course the exchange itself is not fraudulent.

Coinbase used to list only btc… I miss those simpler times tbh. I wish there was an exchange that only lists a few cryptos. Btc, eth, ltc, xmr and doge is all we need. We need to stop with the shitcoin madness but it is not going to happen because all those exchanges make most of their money manipulating the prices of those shitcoins. Even coinbase is doing it. Once a bitcoin exclusive platform is now a shitcoin cemetery.

Actually I think it is very difficult to say that only good coins are listed on top exchanges. Because if we see there are many coins or tokens that are scammed even after being listed on top level exchanges. So considering all these aspects it cannot be trusted that only good coins are listed on top level exchanges. However, since the top level exchangers have certain criteria to meet in order to be listed, the coins that can meet them come to the market with a lot of potential background. But before making investment, you have to analyze yourself well on that coin

Personally not good coins are listed on top exchange market, depend with possibility or not for paying fees listing will available for good coins or not will list on top exchange market. Problem for investor later when bad coins success listing on top exchange market due they can pay listing fees without one or two months will delist.

I checked in Binance as top exchange market several time listing new coins are not really popular and outside from top 50 standings place in coin market cap, but due price drop drastically after listing and get lower volume transaction without few months later Binance delisted with bad coins. Its not really important how top some coins or not for listing in top exchange market depend have enough fund for listing fees.

Because of the listing fees are expensive, only serious projects that want to list their tokens to best/top exchanges. I don't think weak projects will list their tokens on top exchanges. However, the projects can fail if there is no good development from the developers/teams. So, the quality of the developers/teams will have a big role for the future of tokens/coins.

Coins delisted from top exchanges because the developers have bad quality in developing the projects. The projects can be good, but the coins won't survive a long time if the developers are bad quality. So, it is important to analyze the quality of the developers/team of the projects before we decide to invest in a coin/token.

Poor development progress or literally no plan for future development. Most of the coins that delisted on top exchange usually stagnated on development for a long time because they don’t have enough funds to continue further while their community is already dead.

You can use Pepecoin as example here. This token is useless and the only goal of this project was to be listed on top exchange. They will surely dead if their community leave them or their angel investors pull out on this shit tokens since they are obviously useless.

Then you should remember the time when there was only bitcoin and there were no other coins yet. Do you really want this? I think it's easier to put BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR and Doge in favorites on a top exchange and trade them without paying attention to other altcoins.

On the other hand, well-known exchanges can increase the popularity of the coin itself, because new coins will not be easily listed on the best exchanges, there must be some steps required beforehand.  If the goal of a new project is to penetrate well-known exchanges, of course the development team will be more serious in making efforts to realize the coin's potential in the future and be able to compete with other projects.

There will be indeed huge fees for listing top exchange but not all project this type aseets to spend in exchange fees. If a project gone to huge successful for token slaes then should be added easily. Anyway every successful project want more exchange for listing because they’re target for growth lot of trader and investors so top exchange doesn’t matter if a project have good development.

Totally agreed with this ,Most people believe that only good coins are listed on top exchanges not knowing that some bad project sometimes can afford the listing fee of those exchanges they rushed to buy without making a proper research on those project and lose their funds at the end. Its not a good idea to buy any coin just because it is listed on a top exchange ,make proper research before making any investment decison.

I don't think it is only good coins that are listed in good exchanges. What about PEPE? I don't mean it's a bad coin but looking at it as a meme coin shouldn't be listed on good exchanges right? But rather it is listed in almost all exchanges even with one of the exchanges organising a PNL competition. But I understand what you mean. You should also know that these exchanges don't know the future of this coin when they get them listed too.

It's all about money these days. If a coin or token makes the exchange a lot of money, it get listed without remorse. You can see why worthless "meme" coins are listed on top exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. It's not because these coins are serious long-term investments, but rather a way to make short-term profits with trading fees collected from customers. A huge win for exchanges if you ask me.

In a DEX, things are even worse because anyone can list any coin they want at an affordable price (usually an on-chain fee is paid by the user). This opens up the doors for scams and theft. At least, we're not tied to a single option. As long as there's a way to buy or sell crypto, there should be nothing to worry about. Who knows if bad coins are removed from the market, leaving us only with good ones in the long run? Just my thoughts ;D

Indeed, it gains popularity and market exposure knowing that most traders and investors are focusing on big exchanges. However, they should leave that confidence because it is not the exchange itself will bring a project to succeed but also, it matters how the developers work on it. The role of the exchange is to help introduce to the community and do the marketing strategy which is why they will pay huge. But it was useless to do this if the project itself did not give what the people expected to happen as it would be delisted soon when noticed that it was no longer profitable.

but most of the time the coin that got listed are high quality though which means they have gone under the review of the exchange themselves.
only very few are actually shit coin, it differs heavily in swap platform that just gonna allow whatever coin there is as long as they are falling under the category of the recommended protocol that is ERC20.
this is also why some meme coins are just simply thriving in swap platform but hardly got listed in exchanges because the restriction is different.

so I guess trusting some exchange coins is still worth to try considering that the exchange also has reputation that they are not gonna stain it themselves.

Yup, that's absolutely right OP. Not all coins listed in the top market can guarantee that they are good and very high quality. Because in reality all coins on the exchange depend on the number of investors who enter and buy these coins. But from what I know, there aren't too many coins removed from an exchange. Because what I see in markets like Binance, most of the coins that are listed there always have investors. Even though most of the coins have only a few investors, the bottom line is that they still have investors. And basically all coins can also enter an exchange, but still, each exchange must have certain requirements, to be able to make a coin enter / be listed on the exchange.

But in conclusion, coins that have succeeded in entering a large market, such as Binance. Certainly at the beginning of the registration these coins must have met the requirements applied by binance. But after taking to the field (market) these coins compete with each other. So it's not surprising that some of these coins have high increases, those that have moderate increases, and some that even go down.
Because in essence, the key to the success of a coin lies in existing investors.

Not sure exactly, but this is all I can remember from a listing service:

It's not really quality, which I refer to here and also another listing story, simply relationships and financial security to be able to be anywhere. Some of the places I know of are like spaces for listing memecoins and shitcoins. Perhaps the marketing as well as the introduction of many projects are following a certain pattern, sometimes they just differ in the form names and the content is the same and there is a rich source of money to spread many different exchanges(small tip for exaggeration), in addition to not only listing with cex, but I also came across dozens of different marketing services.

Exchanges will only list coins that are good for them, not traders. Stop talking about reputation or other things. In the ToS it has been stated that any form of loss resulting from trading is not the responsibility of the exchange. Several times we have seen that coins that were originally on large exchanges have now had to be delisted due to rugpull.

That's exactly what this is about. Crypto trading depends only on the funds invested. The technology itself is of little interest to anyone, so we are witnessing a frenzied growth of absolutely useless and dead coins, which are of no use to anyone except trading, as they have no utilitarian function. In fact, such events have a negative impact on the industry itself, as new investors see not a developing market with the introduction of cryptocurrencies into everyday life, but a kind of big casino, where all sorts of useless funk is played and a lot of people lose money on it, and then this project steals from itself, as in the case of PEPE. After such events, what would be your opinion about the crypto market if you were a newbie?

Of course the importance of volume cannot be overemphasized because after payment of huge listing fee the token or coin must be well traded on daily basis on the exchange that is why most projects are well advertised and promoted and many are solution to a problem so as to continue to gain adoption or investment for it sustainability in the long run, if not there is the tendency of the coin getting delisted from the exchange this is very common in Binance which periodically delist some coins whose trading volume had dropped and it developers are no longer promoting it.

Investors should be very careful on this aspect, because they have nobody to protect them from such scam or poorly developed altcoins. Investors just have a false impression big exchanges are a guarantee of something, but in fact, they are listing and allowing their customers to deal with such coins and tokens because it's being profitable for them. However, exchanges don't care if an investor is going to lose money by adopting those altcoins.

That is a cons of an unregulated and decentralized market, although personally, I think it's also an opportunity for investors to evolve as individuals, responsible for their own acts and destiny.

Well some roadmap do not get followed sometimes. Pretty sure this applies to every forms of "development" just like I encountered in my 9-5 work. I know it's not crypto related, but this goes for the planning of the team in case things go south.

Rushed decision tend to happen and it kinda degrades the whole product as a whole. This is why many investors tend to just dump the coin of the project they're invested at. The team just don't give a crap about it and worst is just abandon it.

The mere presence of a major exchange is not a guarantee of reliability and attractiveness of a token for an experienced investor. This reliability manifests itself in a group of signals that form analytics and decision making about investing in the token. For example, if a token is listed on a major exchange but it does not have any major investors, this is a reason to reject the token. Delistings on major exchanges also happen, and if no one funds the token, it can be forgotten very quickly.

This is bad because it makes crypto extremely-centralized. Not only that, but the variety of useless coins makes the whole industry look like garbage. I guess crypto needs more time to mature before it can be taken seriously. With upcoming regulations, the number of scams and useless projects will decline. The ones that will ultimately win are centralized exchanges. That's because they hold all of the cards to move the market in their favor.

Newcomers into crypto will get "rekt" as their investments go all the way down the drain in an instant. After all, they're only thinking about getting rich quick. Who knows how the crypto market will grow 5-10 years from now? Just my opinion :)

Actually, I'm a bit confused about answering your question, because I don't think we can accuse such and such altcoin of being bad or good, or whether the altcoin is listed on a top exchange or not and I also often see many altcoins listed on top exchanges collapse. , for example ftx, luna and so on, so I think in this case it will be difficult for us to guess which altcoins are good and which are not good.

It should be the other way around. Invest before they get listed because that's when a sell-off will happen. Whales are wise, once they know the coin they bought is listed in an exchange that can handle an enormous amount of withdrawal, they will go for it and sell everything they got which will lead to the value of the coin going down. I've seen this many times happened before and I know it is still happening now.
What we can do is do it before they can. This is why monitoring every movement of the coin we invested in is crucial especially if they are not listed yet. It will be dumped so hard if we take a long time to sell it, we are either in ROI or worse in the dust.

It usually happens because of a good coin with a good community but it doesn't have a good foundation and usually it happens in an instant project. Investors dumping tokens they hold is common in meme coin projects. Because we all know that meme coins won't last long and investors won't hold onto them for long enough.

I think buying coins before they are listed on an exchange is a good thing, because you have the potential to make huge profits, and it could even potentially increase by thousands of percent for the coins we hold.

Indeed, in this case our tactics in buying
crypto has to be good, and you have to be smart in choosing coins, because in my opinion, even if a coin is already on the top exchange, it doesn't necessarily mean that the coin has good potential for the long term.

That's the problem with most of the projects today, people do not realize that they are the ones making it so shitty. I mean if you invest into a project with a dev at the top, that means there is no decentralization, you expect centralization to make it more profitable, and then you pressure the team into making stuff that will take it higher and then you do not really end up doing anything that will make it go higher and that causes a lot of trouble.

I think it should be important to realize that we are not going to get that much return that quickly and that should not result with something that will benefit you, it will not be a good thing if you are not careful about it and you do not do it properly.

People often ignore the basic ideas of autonomy when they get into projects, because they are mostly motivated by the promise of big profits. Multiple times, I've seen how centralized control can cause choices that aren't based on facts or are harmful. The draw of quick wins can make it hard to see the project's bigger picture.

Its important to know that greedy choices made quickly can compromise the very core of a project. I agree with you completely that patience and a deep understanding of the project's goals are top priorities. Not doing so can quickly turn the excitement of possible gains into the fear of big losses.

some hyped meme coins just turn into pump and dump practices, and it happens over and over again.
We can see that many meme coins today continue to appear with strange names and they have increased by hundreds of percent. Those are just manipulative whales that are behind meme coins to attract new investors to enter.
Meme coins that are good and have a strong community will naturally be listed on top exchanges because they can afford fairly expensive listing fees. Of course there will be choices besides the registration fee that can be paid. See how meme coins like PEPE, FLOKI entered the Binance exchange because of their strong community.

It's a hard mix of both money and the team behind the project as major centralized exchanges require a lot of funds to be listed in their exchange and I have seen some projects who don't have huge funding but they have impressive roadmap and scope of technology, they initially get listed on tier 2 exchanges and eventually gets listed on exchanges like gate.io, kucoin or huobi before making it to Binance.

It's a sad thing as we see some shitty projects getting listed on Binance just because of money and sell their tokens , then delisted after a while due to unethical practices and those who believed in Binance and it's listing are the ones who suffer.

I have seen many top-class exchanges that require a huge fee for listing a coin, and due to this, if some projects have a great or positive sight can't push them to that exchange to the exchange fee, and thus they listed on low exchange and loose their community, their holders and volume as well.

Where it was listed is a very important matter to consider because that will also affect the future of the project and possible ROI.
I have had an experience before where I bought some coins during their pre-sale period as they were promised to get listed in reputable exchanges, so I jumped and took the opportunity but unfortunately, that was a broken promise and made a lot of investors lose their money. But now, I realize that was a big mistake, I'd rather be buying coins that are already in the exchange whether it was on the top or not for at least we have the chance to sell them if needed.

But we cannot call automatically that they are good because their coins has been listed on reputable exchange since anything could happen especially we cannot control the minds of the devs so trade with proper caution is always we need to do so that we can be aware of possible outcome and can assure that we are always ready to trade it then take profit if anything good or bad happen for that coin. Expect that broken promises made because that's how dev attract their investor so you need to be more smart than them to avoid getting frustrated about things not being followed by them.

With the volume requirement, I still think that wash trading is still active in the exchanges.  Like how come coins that have no use case or any apps can have a huge volume?  Unless the project team is wash-trading them, yes?  Those who are trading fairly are often delisted since they are not able to meet certain requirements while those who are doing undertricks are still listed since they always meet the required volume.  So I think not because a certain coins or token stays in top exchanges, their volume is organic.

Anyways the market is really volatile so we can’t really predict the outcome most times but what we all need to know is that Big exchanges won’t ruin their reputation just because of getting huge fee from bad projects that will eventually rug pull. Check exchanges like Binance, Bitget and see how much processes projects pass before they can even list it into their innovation zone, the process placed check and monitor how good the project is before they can accept to list it unlike exchanges who doesn’t do a proper scrutiny and check on a project before listing it.

I have also had the same experience. So the important point here is that all project development teams will definitely make ambitious promises to attract investor interest. My advice is NEVER BELIEVE those promises. If you are tempted by the high price when it is listed, please buy it at the pre-sale but don't spend all your money on it. I think $100 is enough if you are sure about the project (you are sure because you have done the research not because of their promises).

That's true, I have come and cross some that listen a good exchange platform and after sometime get delisted because of poor management of funds and some are intentional act to wicked some new investors that came in after have listened in good exchange get dump in the hand's of investor's and that is very very bad. Which I was once a victim and decided to invest any new most list at least 8 or more top cryptocurrency exchange platform, while holding.

There are terms that follow listing of a coin or a token. However, the agreement are hidden from the public for the best between the exchange and the project owners and there is one that was explained by a YouTuber that: If after listing ya coin and it doesn't get traded and volume decline, there is a period it will reach that it will be delisted after informing the team because there are more projects outside that are trending which other exchanges are listing, the exchange will want to list that too have share of the trading fees but due to too much listing, they have to let's go of the inactive pairs.

In addition, listing comes with a fee and rules that have to be followed, like the fees, setting compensation for traders that participate in their trading competition, Airdrop for deposit to compensate people that Airdrop their token to the exchange; all of this are to boost liquidity and make the coin or token to trend and with this, the exchange get more trading fees in return as revenue for the exchange.

But there are tokens that are listed on top exchange without requesting for any fees. Some of these tokens were listed during bull run due to hype and fear of missing out on them, some exchanges listed it because people want it and also they don't want to miss the fees as well, they don't want their customers to live the exchange for another just for a coin they want to trade, this type of listing don't require any fees as they are done on the discretion of the exchange.

I think that when the crypto space seriously matures, it will be split into 2 camps. Those who want convenience, regulation and speed and those who want to be out of sight, who value privacy and freedom. Similar to the internet where we have clearnet and TOR. I'm sure the industry will split as it's impossible to please everyone and come to one thing. Either way there will be regulation and centralization, but if you want privacy then welcome to crypto TOR.

the thing with some new coin is that, in regards of listing, sometime they just outright lying about that to garner attention and get as much investors as they can, thats why it should be the announcement from the exchange themselves that you could really take seriously.

have you ever found out about some new coin that proclaim to have partnership with binance just because they deployed their coin in binance smart chain? i've seen many of them, also using binance smart chain logo to boost their reputation while really they are not having any partnership or anything they just utilize this binance smart chain blockchain which quite literally everyone could do the same.

That's why investors should investigate carefully. Especially in those scenario where some projects announces that they will be partnered with big exchanges to gather more investors. Proof checking should be done first. Using names of big exchanges like binance is a common thing in new projects, that's why it is better to have confirmation if it is real or not prior investing in a certain project.

Seriously, I don't know yet. I mean I have seen several projects that claim they are part or partners of large exchanges. Sometimes I almost believe that but I also think that if there really is collaboration with an exchange like Binance then why is there no official announcement on the Binance site? And there are many new projects that claim to have partnered with Binance. This adds to my suspicions regarding whether the project is legit or not.
Moreover, a large exchange like Binance will not partner with a new project, especially if it is a metaverse, meme or game project.

I still do not believe that people could do something like that, it doesn't make sense at the moment and I think we should not consider the situation to be a lot more different than what we have so far. I think we should consider this to be something a bit different and we shouldn't really be considering the coin listing as important thing all that much.

I believe that we are seeing listing as much more important than what it is most of the time, it is not really a big deal and it shouldn't be considered as a big profit making method. I get that some people get hyped about it, but like you said it becomes a pump and dump when they get listed unless they are proper good coins and that's a way people could make a loss.

we still need to consider the fact that binance itself have many programs for the bootstrap of these new projects though, so maybe they are partnering with binance but not to that extent where they gonna get instant listing, but honestly, exchange like binance doesn't always only list good quality coin from the fundamental perspective in their platform, they favour more trading volume and garnering the investors than the quality of a project itself, it can be proven from the fact that binance always list the hottest meme coin there is when the meme coin is growing so significantly so speaking about quality i don't think they are only limited to listing good coin.
the key takeaway is that if binance or popular exchange themselves didn't make announcement about listing, then some claim about that certain new project gets listed will most likely not gonna be true, though this also not necessarily a way to determine whether a project will be listed or not honestly.

In order for a project to get listed on a good exchange, they normally have to have a scammy ICO. They take 50% of the funds to buy lambo and houses for themselves then give the other 50% to Binance. Then they and their VC buddies dump tokens on the market and a small portion of those will go to build something, but they will run out of money after a year or two and close shop.

The answer to this problem is decentralized listings on order book based DEXs. The problem is that there aren't many of these kinds of DEXs and most of them do not allow for self listing.

Be really careful before buying into new projects/ICOs. These days you can get tokens for free by participating in bounties on websites like zealy dot io. You can get tokens from Mantle, Q Blockchain, Lamina1, Shardeum and other new projects there before they list on an exchange or do a token sale.

Maybe consider this as good factor but it cannot tell everything we should know that to many altcoins listed on top exchange but still experiencing heavy downfall. So for that series of cases we need to vigilant especially if we want to hold and choose only the top coins since we can assure that they have more bigger potential to pump or may have a bull run. I also research and see how the token devs perform their duties since maybe we can gather an info if they already abandon their project or doesn't give any good updates to help their token.

What is in our mind is that once a project has been listed to big exchanges it is considered a huge success already. It serves as an assurance to the buyers and of course, earning a profit is way possible. However, it has something to say that investors gain the courage to invest in a particular project when they hear about it from the developers. For those projects that are legit, spending huge fees to get listed doesn't really matter to them because the most important is that they will gain reputation and market demand as the profit will over flow back to them as well.

This means that if you want to invest into something then you need to "do your own research" which is always the case and been said so many times and people just don't do it. I mean how many times have we seen people end up making a mistake regarding this? I mean we have seen it change so much and it resulted with it being something so much different, I just feel like it has to be something different and difficult in the end.

I believe that we are going to end up with a result that would be not that easy and should be considered difficult in the end. I think it is going to be tough, but we could end up with a result that would be a bit tough, it needs to be something that has to be done the way it should be, and not take any risks.

Today's token developers see cryptocurrency as a business, they are willing to spend big money to list it but there is no real use for their project and they don't build a community so it's no surprise that their tokens are not attractive to traders and investors.  why the cryptocurrencies that are in the top 200 have survived to this day, because these tokens have big supporters, smart developers will definitely see that a good community will be able to make the cryptocurrencies they circulate successful.

I’m sure what the action of the exchange is in such situation speaks volume about them, I mean what are the things they’re able to do to support investors. In situations like that some exchange is will try as much as possible to pay the investors. An example of this was the action of Bitget regarding the REELT token, now everyone is very happy that the exchange helped them out.

Listing fees are a problem for small cap projects and that ends up being the determining factor for which exchange the newly launched coin gets listed first. You will see initially less known exchanges are named before moving to bigger exchanges. The phrase or "when binance" has become a running meme in many project's telegram groups.

I don't think this correlates to project development because the project may have had a lower funding and need to rise from that.

Basically, coins or tokens listed on popular exchanges are very good coins. Considering that there are so many requirements for listing on the top exchange, and also quite large costs, makes many people think that if they want to list on the top exchange, then they have to really believe in the project they are working on, and continue to develop it.
Even though there are several tokens listed such as meme coins on top exchanges, I think exchanges are also taking several opportunities to make money from several projects that are currently hyped. But, in the end we are really advised to do research before choosing this coin as a long-term investment.

Exchanges always win. The ones who get "rekt" are none other than amateur investors and day traders. Just because a coin is listed on a prominent centralized exchange, doesn't mean it's worth the investment. You have to do your own research to determine what's best for you. A cryptocurrency with solid use cases, active development, and innovation has a higher chance of surviving in the future.

Unfortunately, the market is flooded with too many coins often driven by hype. I'm talking about "meme" coins, and centralized "shitcoins" like Ripple and Solana. It's all speculation these days. Most people don't care about this, as long as there's money to be made. Ultimately, the good projects will replace the bad ones as the crypto/Blockchain industry matures. As long as decentralization wins, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion :)

I don't think so, because as long as coins or tokens meet the requirements of an exchange, they will be listed. For example, in Binance, there was a list where, let's just say, the others were not that attractive for traders, and later they were also delisted.

But before the coins were delisted, it took a year, maybe because the volume quota was not met, so it didn't last long in Binance, but at first they still met the requirements quota, so it means that even if they are shit coins and the volume is high, they can get the requirements in an exchange and still be listed in the exchange.

There are multiple ways of listing a coin on exchange which can basically be categorized into two.
1. Listing by popularity.
2. Listing by payment.
Listing by popularity is rare. It's either if the coin gets popular with large daily volumes or by competition or community votes.
Listing by payment is more popular. Almost all exchanges have a fee they accept for listing without any precoinditon. But they have conditions of volume traded. Coins not traded in a good volume for a long time are delisted even if they had payed to get listed.

Centralized exchanges cannot tell us that some coin they have added to their listings is now good. Centralized exchanges add various memcoins to their exchanges. Do they become good coins after that? No, they don't. They become liquid coins. Good liquidity means that the coin has value, but it does not mean that the project itself is good. Eventually, even on centralized exchanges, once valuable coins lose value over time and the exchanges remove them. Coins that are traded on centralized exchanges can mean a good choice for trading, but does not always mean it is a good choice for holding.

Must be the best coin to be listed on top exchange. Because a good amount of fund is raised only from tokensale of good coins. And it is possible to manage the listing fee of the top exchange only if a good amount of fund is raised. So attracting investors is the main goal of a project.

Yes,I agree only beat coin listed top exchanger but sometimes some bad coin listed good exchanger.Most time good coin listed this exchanger.Good coin good opportunity for investors.I see good coin best profile for crypto currency people.

Most of the projects are VC-backed, so their listing fees come from VC. Some of the VCs are the exchange themselves, so it is not true that all of the projects pay for their listing. Funds raised through token sales are mostly allocated for project development. There are some criteria that exchanges follow to list a new project.

1. That project must have a massive trading volume.
2. That exchange invested in that project.
3. Most of the other top exchanges list that project.
4. The project pays listing fees.

Well, they spend more money because the return of their investment is also huge if ever they get approved and listed to known exchanges. If that is the only way, they should take it as well. Developers think that exchanges have a huge impact on bringing their project to success and they see that getting into big exchanges, the more it gains popularity and fame. However, many projects had also delisted from big exchanges due to low demand, it was a set of criteria that developers must have to work out as well.

but sometimes its difficult to get listed in more reputable exchanges out there and just money alone isn't sufficient, what I think is just as important is probably the fact that the coin itself need some popularity so that it could have the trading volume required to get listed in an exchange, you see meme coin for example, they don't have the quality, and they don't have the funding specifically allocated for exchange listing but regardless because they are popular, they could get listed in exchange like binance.
thats why successfully raising massive funding doesn't necessarily means that it gonna get instant listing, after all exchange also trying to keep their popularity from dimming.

A certain project selling out its presale or token sale doesn't mean the project is the best especially when the project team has to pay a certain fee to be listed on top exchange it's a red flag buddy and for the record all the best cryptocurrencies I know are listed on top exchange voluntarily by the exchange team.
If that's not the case then the crypto one is just one of the altcoins created to enrich the team involving pocket.

all those points mentioned are definitely the point that exchange considers, i've been observing many coins and the ones that got listed eventually are the ones that at least fulfilled that one point whether its through paying for listing or something else.
but the most sure way of determining whether a project has already have agreement about listing is when the project itself is backed up or sponsored by the exchange itself or through its VCs in which gonna give money to the project and also give priveleges of being listed instantly when the token went public.

Regardless of what you say, I think capital would be the first prerequisite. Let's say they already have a minimum paid-up capital of that amount and are able to maintain equity in accordance with the prerequisites set by the trade regulatory body of the place or country where they will register so that it is legal and can be done. traded also Based on distributed ledger technology.

CEXs are only looking to fill their pockets with money. They don't care if the coin they're listing is "crap", as long as it brings them good liquidity. Most people are newcomers into crypto, so they will quickly believe a coin is worth it once it gets listed in a prominent exchange such as Binance or Coinbase. You will see them getting "rekt" in the process as overhyped coins eventually get replaced by new ones.

I'd "stick" with the good-old coins for complete peace of mind. I'm talking about projects with an established presence in the crypto/Blockchain space (eg: Ethereum, Bitcoin (obviously), Litecoin, and Monero). They will surely last a lifetime as long as developers keep "delivering as promised". Just remember to never invest more than what you can't afford to lose, and there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

These coins are not interesting to most beginners, it's not like they grow 100% in a day. All shitcoins always attract high volatility and profitability. If not for this factor, all these garbage projects would never gather so much attention around them. Exchanges and developers play on human greed, and this is a powerful weapon in the right hands.

Just feeling that the conspiracy that runs in our minds should just be an ordinary imagination. If not, I think trading volume can be manipulated to look massive.

There is a shady investment called pump and dump. If any exchange involves in this, it will look more genuine.

Nice, but the project owners may allege that they don't have money to list in multiple exchanges simultaneously. It may come one after the other.

If not paying $100,000 will deny me $1M dollars, I have to pay even if it takes borrowing.

There are two key factors to grasp when pondering what distinguishes top exchanges. First, it's important to recognize that their success is attributed to their proficiency in the crypto industry and their ability to generate substantial trading volume. The status of being a top exchange is not solely dependent on the quality of the coins listed; instead, there are instances where top exchanges remove certain coins that no longer attract significant trading activity. Being listed on a top exchange enhances a coin's prospects for long-term success, a fact that has been substantiated over time.

Top exchanges also think about how user security is guaranteed and of course there will be guarantees on the balances they hold. Not just reliable marketing, accepting lots of altcoins but they have good standards and of course can be trusted as a top exchange. let's look at Binance, how they became the biggest and most popular today. they are constantly evolving with the latest security and not only that, they have strict rules for accepting new altcoins. they only accept projects that have a good future and unprecedented innovation.

That's not their job neither, their entire job is to make sure that you are trading what you want to trade, exchange is not responsible to vet the coins or tokens so that you wouldn't get scammed, sometimes they do delist some projects because they do not like them, but that doesn't mean that they have to. As long as there is a trading volume with some of the coins or tokens, they could look as shady as it gets and these exchanges will keep on investing into them no matter what.

I feel like the best thing to do right now is to make sure that they are not listing everything, and we make our own research on what we are trading and do not consider everything that gets listed in these exchanges to be good just because they got listed.

sometime if the project is really good and innovative its the exchange themselves that offers partnership and instant listing at the time the token went live.
therefore its also matters of how innovative truly a project is to be successive, these exchange definitely not gonna just pump out some random shitcoin because their reputation at stake.

I don't agree with that, I know that they strive to provide the best services for their customers but that is because they don't want them to leave and choose a different exchange, and when it comes to listing cryptocurrencies, if they actually looked at the future or innovations before listing them then I believe there would be no meme coins listed in Binance because meme coins don't really have any clear future nor they have any good innovation to offer.

So, the very first thing that they think about is how they can get more profit and if they know that a certain coin or a token is being hyped heavily by the community, they go ahead and list it because they know that the token will be traded very well and that will bring them profit in the form of trading fees.

In the end, it is coins with solid fundamentals and a strong community that will endure and gain acceptance on top exchanges without having to pay listing fees. Rushing to list on exchanges these days is often used as a marketing strategy to attract investors, but the reality is that the trading volume for most newly-launched coins is not substantial. Progress is still needed for these coins to grow and capture the attention of traders.

Listing fees on exchanges are another way for exchanges to generate revenue. This process should ideally be further scrutinized, as even scam coins can pay for listings.

Scam project will get their chance to find sets in big exchanges but they will just stay short as they will be delisted soon. Indeed, only those projects that have strong community support and huge trade volume will remain, and exchanges will then help it to grow more for additional revenue. This means that paying won't be just the only ticket to get a spot on big exchanges but also, it requires stability and sustainability of the project in order to still be a part of the exchanges. Otherwise, they will lose their spot if the project turns scam and low trade volume.

The good exchange like Binance, Kucoin they investigate a project in very hardly then list. that's why you will see every coin from Binance exchange gain top position on coinmarketcap and also they have million of doller trading volume every day. Binance never list token every day, week or a month quickly. Binance never charge huge listing fee but it require a potential project toke to list on Binance. and that's why every trader like Binance for trading without any worrys

TRUE, a few major exchanges as like Binance,OkEx,Kucoin they will never listing random coins, you know if a project will apply to list in the Binance i think they will research and investigate over months, listing fees is huge but Binance will tell you which is listable or not, a bad project can't be listed even if they have enough money for listing fee. So people’s trust those exchanges launchpad/listing projects.

That's absolutely true. However, when it comes to investment decisions, just being listed on major exchanges is not sufficient. It's indeed an important factor, but not the sole determinant. To delve deeper into the significance of listings on Centralized Exchanges (CEX), many projects start by listing on smaller CEXs and then proceed to get listed on larger ones. This happens because they have a strong development team and a well-functioning product. Consequently, new investment funds may push a project to be listed on larger CEXs. But to keep track of such projects effectively, you need to invest a significant amount of time into monitoring them.

What about the PEPE coin, FLOKI which doesn't even have any utility and is listed on Binance. They had a lot of money and at that time the memecoin hype was quite extraordinary and PEPE coin became the most successful meme coin with hundreds of millions in volume so it could enter Binance. If it's just a meme coin that doesn't have a large volume, it won't be noticed. Months of research are usually only for coins that really have good utility and innovation. There are many new coins with quite good utility and they are constantly being developed.

There are not only good coins listed on top exchange but also depend with how much commission fee for listing pay by bad or good coins if want list there, Pepe and Floki success listed on top exchange are they categories as good coins? I don't think with shit or meme are good coins because many time price drop drastically and hype moment only make shit coins keep existing on the top exchange. Seems not for longer time several shit coins will delist from top exchange depend their volume transaction supply and how possibility with consistent huge volume transaction. All coins listed on top exchange market not depending with coin reputation but also more technical with fees listing payment only and exchange won't list coins with cheapest fees.

I guess it all comes to the definition of what do you see as a "good coin". Most good coins have raised enough money to get listed, and they peak the interest of the people, who are deciding who can list and whom can not.

But obviously it's not a mark of a "good coin" to get listed on top exchanges. Even bitconnect was listed on them, while most of the people saw right trough that. Same as LUNA, and tokens can have worst possoble fundamentals while no one can see the flaws, just like with FTX, which as well was listed to top exchanges. And there were numerous others during my years in crypto. And i can remember just a fraction of them.

right now i think things has changed, good project didn't start out with small exchange listing, they just outright getting partnership with the reputed investment lab and venture capital also getting listed day 1 in one of the biggest exchange, meanwhile the coin that got listed in small exchange hardly ever climb up to get listed in bigger exchange and usually get reputation tarnished by getting listed that "small" exchange.
therefore its not really project should start out from the very bottom.
just one good idea and innovation already set them up so long they got connection from the reputed venture capital.

When the coin has sufficient market capitalization and sufficient trading volume, it will be listed on top exchanges.  They are also business people.  The company profits obtained are also a consideration before registering a coin.  The point I mean here is, all exchanges will of course include the top 30 in their exchange, but the problem is coins below the top 30. Because the difference in coins listed by each exchange is there.  Examples like PEPE are listed on almost all exchanges but in reality they are not good projects.  Currently the price has fallen far from their stated expectations.

Binance listed them because of their hype. Binance is a good business that use good opportunities. They don't need to directly get money to list any token, if the hype is good and coin have potential to make high volumes, exchange list them and get good amount of trading fee. It also brings more attraction to the exchange, so listing with fee isn't the only way to make money for exchanges.

The small exchange listing fee is a whopping 20K USD so I do agree with you but some of it had a lower fee for lower-grade CEX like Hotbit which is already out of business now. most of the projects can listed on a big exchange I think the listing fee could be 50K more per token/coin.

Some of it dont require listing fee when the project already big like Cardano Ethereum or Bitcoin because it already top 10 of marketcap you listed them you can start generated profit from it.

or just like EFs said that pepe and other memecoin listed because the hype

That makes a lot of sense. I also think that's why meme coins like that can easily be listed on Binance, whereas there are so many projects that have benefits and communities that aren't even on Binance yet. However, I also think that fees for placing coins on an exchange are not the only way for popular exchanges to make a profit, and the only reason for including meme coins on an exchange like Binance is because of the hype. I'm pretty sure that the fees from the transactions are enough to generate enough for an exchange. However, a hype coin like that will not make the coin look better than other coins, because the risk of investing in a hype coin will always be riskier than investing in a listed altcoin because it pays a list fee, and has benefits.

Binance always look at coins where they think beneficial to their exchange, they are just smart to ride up the hype brought by those coins since it can add up more exposure to their exchange also revenues. That's why we should never rely the listing of those exchange and think about they are good since we don't actually know how the hype would last. If we want to hold select bitcoin or ethereum since they are been tested. But for trading it for short term basis select altcoin and don't do long time hold since right now most of new coins are just for hype and none of them exist for creating great technology and utility for their tokens so we need to be vigilant to avoid becoming a crying bag holder.

Every coin needs some basic things to get listed.  Which is not the case in all coins. Most of the coins in the market have very low liquidity and volume.  Listing on a good exchange requires a good team support and not only about money, but also a good background in coins. Listing a token requires a lot of familiarity with the token and a partnership on a platform.  Only those with volume are listed on most exchange platforms.Most of the tokens that are listed on major exchanges like Binance are well-ranked coins.

I don't think that all of the coins listed on a big exchange such as Binance are well ranked, there are few who are not that high on ranking and there are coins that are in danger with the delisting because they can't maintain their status of having a good volume. I don't think that every coin that is listed on a good exchange is good, in fact there are a lot of coins that are pretty much dead today that are listed during the bull market, those project easily get funded because it's the bull market but after the bull market, we can see that a lot of coins are being delisted. Being on a good exchange is a plus point on overall factor of a project but it doesn't it's good enough to trust it by putting all your money into it.

Not completely true. Good or I should say that renowned exchanges has huge fees to list the cons. Although, they have some criteria apart from fees to check the legitimacy, no so good coins can also filter those criteria along with fees. On the other hand, some good coins may not fulfill the same and miss the opportunity to get listed.
We all know that not all coins listed on binance are good or even worth getting listed there.

They are listed on Binance because they have the money to get listed.  Gone are the days when coins could be listed freely on the exchange even though they were just created because of the promising future volume of the coins due to their promising development.

Exchanges list coins because of certain motivations but all in all, it boils down to the trading profit generation of a project plus being able to pay a hefty sum of listing fee.

listing in popular exchange gets even harder nowadays if the project itself doesn't have any partnership with venture capital related with the exchange that they want to get listed in.
simply because all spot reserved by those that have partnership. doesn't matter if your coin gain massive market capitalization like around the range of millions within a week, because those partnered with venture capital gain billion just within a day.
the only coin that get easily listed in exchange unironically are those shitcoins with massive trend that gain massive hundred fold increase in value.

I can see how big exchange utilize their top spots. It is one of their biggest source of income to maintain the exchange. Projects could list their tokens into some random exchange nowadays for free but the downside of that is the investors wouldn't like that given that it is known that the best tokens are being listed on top exchanges like Binance. There are some sort of trust and hype from the community whenever a certain token are prior to list on big exchange like Binance. Big exchanges know this and I'm sure they want to capitalize on this that's why they are collecting hefty amount of listing fee.

Shitcoin will be completely removed from the exchange when there is no longer an increase in volume and continues to decrease, resulting in a fairly drastic price drop. Seeing the quite disappointing developments, the option of delisting would be better. But PEPE fans seem to still be strong and volume is still maintained, such as the SHIB memecoin which is the best memecoin after DOGE coin. Top memecoins or shitcoins will indeed appreciate when they have a lot of support, a lot of volume and can afford very expensive listing fees.

Exchanges are the ones that usually win. The real losers are "noobs" who just got into crypto to make a quick buck. They ultimately get "rekt" due to bad investment decisions. After all, crypto newcomers only follow the hype. Don't be surprised to see an increasing number of "shitcoins" getting listed on big exchanges like Binance and Coinbase over time. You just have to do your own research to determine which cryptocurrency has real use cases that would change our world for the better.

Concrete results is what matters most. Not the hype. Why do you think Bitcoin has been a non-stop success? That's because it continues to deliver as promised with an active development team behind it. Even though it's slow and expensive at times, no other cryptocurrency compares to Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and security/reliability. If other coins were as good as Bitcoin, things would've been different now. At least, the crypto industry is growing. Who knows if all of these altcoins will improve Blockchain tech for the better? Just my thoughts ;D
