Guys, what do you think about today’s situation? A lot of good ICOs can’t list on huge exchanges, therefore investors can’t get profit. Idk why but today listing is a very hard process. I invested in sparkster ICO and they can’t list already for 6 month, ridiculous! What do you think?

I think market is not stable now due to many regulations in different countries. You have to think how to invest in ICO now and choose very closely. At this moment only real usage projects will survive if it is usefull for customers with real value.

Our ICO, XAYA, actually hosted our mainsale and Liquid which ended earlier this month, and trading is set to start there tomorrow. I don't think it's difficult for LEGIT coinsales to get traded.

Because of the market situation right now, you know that Sparkster is a good project I already have also token for them and waiting to be listed but I guess it was part of their strategy to be list in good condition of market.

It’s just about visibility and access to investors.  Many new ICO’s offer break through solutions to real world problems, but don’t have the money raised even after the ICO to list on an exchange that provides the exposure they need.  A mid-range exchange should be good enough to raise capital for development.

Yes you are right because I joined 3 bounty within this year but those are three are not yet listed or one of the at was I think a scam. My one of bounty end the campaign seven months ago but until now they always saying that after the ICO ends or at the quarter 4 this is to much waiting for those bounty hunter. Why now they hard to list in some of exchange?  All of us was waiting the exchange of our bounty.

The major exchange site needs a lot of requirements just like binance will make you paid them all up to 5 millions dollars just for listing your token and you must have proven your product.
It's easy if they are doing a lot of effort to list the token but it seems like they are not even doing any effort to do that.

Why don't they try with medium size exchanges? I don't know how much money that ICO raised, but big exchanges are too expensive.

Maybe they don't want to get the list for the bear market, because Listing process is not too difficult. I participated in Bitdepositary ICO, and they have listed within after 20 days later of the ICO.

Due to the bear market, good projects delay the listing process. It is better for you too. If they were listed now it would go under ico prices.

This is very important, there are so many exchanges now they should make a point to list on at least 3 medium exchanges if they cannot get into huge one they have funds to do it, sparkster is such a good project I almost invest on it it should be in a big exchange because they have generated huge funds

It is very easy to be listed on the exchange site if you pay a small money for the owner of exchange sites. A lot of ICO projects want to save their money and need the help of their community to win the voting program of exchange sites because it will be natural, let investors see that their project is taking the attention of the community.

Yup. I have same idea with you. There is not hard to list the token on exchanges. But on huge exchanges, it's a big fee to do that. I have heard that Binance required 16 BTC to list a token on its exchange. I don't think this is a small amount with the low fund-raised projects.

And with idea of giving-away to vote their tokens, I think this is intelligent plan to win the voting programs.

I think they don't want to list their coin in such bear market, they are waiting for a good time to listing their token/coin in the market.
But if sparkster is a very good project, they will survive if they listing on the market even though the market is still bad.
I think it is not just sparkster, but there are some ICOs doesn't want to list their token for now.

I have invested in Current ICO and these guys cannot even distribute their tokens. The token sale ended in April or May and nobody still got their tokens! I do not speak about the exchanges listing and so on. I am staying calm and just waiting for the announcements.

Some team are just waiting for the right time to get listed why some are finding it difficult to get listed,but i feel if a project is offering what the world need,it will surely get traded,so next time if you want to invest,invest in solid project.

ICO investments are not so profitable now because of sec regulation, I would recommend you to consider some alternative ways to earn on crypto.

Now a difficult and confusing situation has arisen, with too many ICO. Many of them are frauds, but others are not. As a result of this dilution, people confuse black with white. What translates into hundreds and thousands of disappointments. Greed is ruining both sides.

Actually most of the exchange site is asking for a huge amount for the listing, we all know that the market is down hard to list the tokens because need a huge amount. Maybe the team is waiting the market recovery before they list.

If the ICO can not be listed on the exchanges then ICO is definitely a scam. There are a lot of different exchanges in the market and just the team paying a fee will definitely have their ICO listed. And if they can't do it, then you should not expect their project

Most of ICOs do not want to be listed on exchanges before they introduce they product or platform because if they do it - price will immediately fall because who wants to buy token without use?

well, even though the market does have a big influence on price issues, but I don't think even a very large market, the price of coins can be better. a simple example, in the recently completed project, UBEX. Well, I'm sure many see that the price was really high yesterday. it all depends on the strategy of the developer.

I think it depends on the team on why they have not yet listed on exchanges, maybe huge exchanges are looking something for a coin before they list it.

You already mentioned that the ICOs are good, but that they could not just list. Most times, I noticed that most of the so called good ICOs might still be at the developmental stage of their product and are thinking that if they should list their coins without backing it up with the product is is originally meant for, it might loose its value.

I see it there are many developers who hold back and are registered in several exchanges to not make the altcoin fall down like there are many other examples of altcoins. the possibility of waiting for the market to return to normal new listings

We are in hard times. They are not listing in big exchanges because exchanges listing fees are really high and too many ico didint sell their crypto holdings yet and their money melted like ours.
So they are waiting bull market to do something about exchanges. Yes sparkster is promising project. Good luck .

I see that there are many ico projects now delaying listing their tokens and they reasoned because of poor market conditions in my opinion that is an unreasonable reason because I and everyone certainly won't know when the market will recover

I think most of the project teams take into account the current market environment. Mainly in the bear market. I see that many coins listed in bear market are below the price of ICO.

      I think exchanges firm are doing some safety precaution to avoid hacker hence many exchanges are being hacked already so because of these would be very difficult for the ICO investors  to sell their coin or buy a coin , because of so many requirements as you've open a  account in a particular exchange .

There exist very good ICOs this year but the down market affected its listing process time in several platforms. This chain effect is really evident this year. Imagine the ethereum which is the fuel of most ICO projects is so down, what more on these ICOs.

No sparkster is a very good project, But the market is suffering from bear market so no one is going to launch itself in the market. So it is natural don't worry.

I guess OP are asking for developers to list their coins inside a reputable exchange so they can sell it out and have some decent profits, though if what you mean is exchange have strict rules adding coins to make sure that they won't get hack maybe yes but not probably the reason behind, developers are having issue maybe because of funds allocations, we knew that big exchange requires fees before you can list your tokens or also developers are still waiting for a good timing, or also they ain't adding it because they are not serious about developing the project and hanging investors money.

I think the biggest problem is ICOs are not good at about their financial condition. Even they do not hit soft cap (That points that means they do not collect enough fun to do everything right), they still want to process their project. I do not believe that without collecting proper funds any project can not be successful. They must me cancelled and investors have to be refund.

What do you think also with those holders?
there are so many ICO in this community.
there as=re so many times that ICO went out SCAMMED.
so what do you think gonna happen now?

The situation is seriously worrisome for the entire industry. It is highly frustrating even for the team of a project the way it is getting hard to get listed on an exchange with appreciable amount of volume. Investors and bounty hunters are the ones that this hurt most.

I think the developers had learned their lesson and not list their tokens right away after ICO. They'd be more interested when the bear market ends so they can manage to profit while the rest of the ICO participants are dumping their tokens. Either that is the case of the team has gone scam already, don't take that possibility out in this equation, anyone can go nuts when money is involve.

If  those coins listed on exchangers those investors would also profit.If the coins potential is high then most probably they could become known even if its not came from huge exchagers  and the demand will prove it.

Because of the current market situation,sparkster is a good project. Many new ICOs offer break through solutions to real world problems,but don't have the money raised even after the ICO to listen an exchange that provides the exposer they need. All the people were waiting for the exchange of their bounty.

The market is in a very bad condition right now and there is hardly any stabilty. One should be careful right now, and think from all the angles before approaching any particular ICO. Only the most stable projects have the chance of surviving this bear market.

Because of the currency market situation it is hard for a lot of good ICOs get their listings. At the same time many ICOs offer breakthrough solutions but haven't raised suffcient funds to list to an exchange that would provide the exposure they'd need. We're all still holding out for a market shit in order to see ICOs that are good to be given their well deserved chance.

It is not about just listing on an exchange, but a good one. Like you said, there are so many exchanges, but at the same time, which one do you think will be good enough in terms of reputation and would make the market more exposed to more money? That is usually the target of most good team.

Nonetheless, we also have to realize one thing that the reason why some projects have held back for a while now is basically because of the market situation. Considering the level at which a lot of new coins and tokens that hit the market trading below their ICO price hugely, is nothing to write home about and in this case, I just see the team trying all means to wait it out, and as long as there is prospect for the project in the long term, I believe the best thing actually is just to wait it out anyway. No other choice I guess!

There are many ICOs in the market now a days but only few of them has survived. Projects with real life usages are the only ones that are succeeding. I think the current market situation is to blame for the situation.

Many of this situations happen right now, they are delaying in listing due to preparing their ICO to more valuable in terms of of profit. Delaying in listing for working to make better in holding process. Some of the ICO have their holding policies for better plans.

Yes you are right! Such a problem exists and the whole thing is that the largest stock exchanges and already almost all medium and even small ones want to receive money for the listing and at the same time they do not want to turn over everything. Although I think these conditions are strange. If we are talking about the development of the crypto sphere, then logically all conditions for development should be created and listing is one of the important points. I would add competition here, perhaps some crypto asset owners pay extra, whatever the competitors would turn out, this is just my opinion, but this can also be. The reason is bonal, it all comes down to the fact that the cryptocurrency and its services are not decentralized.

To me, I think the ICOs are not taking their investors serious. I understand that most exchanges charge high fees to get listed, but the money raised from the token sales is enough to list on any good ICO.

So many good ICOs nowadays but most of them can't list on huge exchanges, I think it is because of lacking some funds to pay for Exchange's platform before officially listing. We all know , that they have some funds to cover for it but I think they gonna use it for the future of their projects and their only goal for a while is to be listed on market/s even it isn't good enough atleast it can be available for trading.

Maybe they are waiting for the next pump of the entire market as last year. It seems right now the situation on the exchanges has changed for the better. They are now listed all that got at a cheaper price than last year for food they need to earn. Yes, and exchanges has become a lot in recent years, competition in this segment has grown to unprecedented heights.

The whole crypto coins are limited and new coins are coming over and over again. So the old coins might be reliable, but maximum new coins are not up to the mark and not eligible to earn much profit. So gotta be careful about these coins and invest in the best one.

Try not to Worry .I see that there are numerous ICO extends now deferring posting their tokens and they contemplated due to poor economic situations so nobody will dispatch it self in the market

yes recently the ico project is not so easy to enter into a large exchange, for various reasons, such as the medichain project they get sales of 20,000,000 ico ending in June and until now have not been listed on the exchange

Yours is just one among hundreds who eventually made it to the exchange to enable trading but the fact still remains that so many icos in this year 2018 never made it to the exchange and any coin not listed is term to be worthless because trading can not take place without it being listed, I have hold a coin for more then seven month's now and no exchange which made it so frustrating.

There different factors in listing which is making it difficult lately, firstly the market for is bearish and the team feel they need to take some time for things to improve and second thing is that some devs get greedy and not willing to commit huge sum of money as fee for listing on big exchanges which is why most coins list on Dex

I am participating in ICO and I have some concerns for two reasons because of the current market situation:
1. How soon will project tokens be traded on exchanges. And how much time does this process take?
2. Will the project collect a hard cap within the framework of the ICO, or the campaign will be extended and the payment of tokens will be postponed for several more months.

The listed fees in some of the exchanges are too high. There are many projects that have trouble raising enough investment. But I think that many ICO project teams didn't intentionally enter crypto exchanges because of the imbalance in the crypto markets.

I also think that it is due to the unstable market situation. I have participated in a Bounty campaign where developers have decided to postpone the distribution of the tokens (Investors and Bounty hunter). Almost 30 days have passed since that announcement and just this week they have promised the distribution.

I think they can list on exchanges, but they don't want to, because in certain market situation the coin price could be dumped close to zero, and they would loose investors interest, so they decide to wait for market grow and that's when they will list their coins.

I think they are not listing their tokens at the moment for a lot of reasons. The main reason is the market. The projects are postponing the token listing, because in 99,9 percent of all cases the token will lose its price.

Well, ICOs do not want to spend all money collected during the sale for listing. Listing fee on Binance was around one million dollars! So maybe this is the reason why most of ICOs are not yet listed on big exchanges.

The regulation and reforms are restricting all the new ICO's from getting listed. All the scam ICOs and opposing counties are responsible for this situation.

There many ICOs in the market this year so if the ICO is good and legit and also follows the regulations of the exchanges it will be added. I do not think there is an alternative for that.

The listing of new ICO on big Exchanges is very expensive now (rumors are more than $1M fee) so I think many new ICO projects are greedy with the payments for listing because this bear market will dump below ICO price inevitably.

i do not trust icos listts and ratings you kay use them as guide but i would not recommend you eely on them too much

there are a lotmof sites where you can see the lists of icos ajd you may rely on them but may be you can advice soem of thme

Because of the reculations going on, it's hard to get listed. You need to be cautious while choosing an ICO to invest.

Listing in a big exchange is always challenging. It has long list of requriements which must be fullfilled beforehand. Also the fee for listing is huge. But generally in cases of medium capital, it's better to go for a medium sized exchange. And without any effort of listing in an exchange should be perceived as a scam project to be honest.

A lot of good ICOs are deliberately not listing on an exchange because of the general market condition, so in one way or the other, you just have to be patient until they do so. There is basically nothing none of us can do about it than to just take some chill pill and see how things get to turn out.

I know how you feel, but if you are sure of what you are holding, you believe the team are still working and developing the product the more, and there is no silence from them, and you know there are chances for huge prospect in the long run, then you really do not have anything to worry about, than to just hold.

i joined a signature campaign which is already finish but the coins is not yet listed. they said they won't list it until their product is not finish yet because it will affect the price of the coins. maybe that is one of many reasons why they won't list it. we know price gets drop after it get listed and investor are reacting negatively because of it.

Undoubtedly, this is a big problem when an ICO project in which your money is invested cannot be listed for a long time on the main cryptocurrency exchanges. I also came across a similar. In such cases, it remains only to wait and hope that someday this project will be listed on Binance and the price of the token will soar.

Still there are some ICOs that have been listed or promised to get listed even before the ICO ends , For example the Atlantico has been partnered with coinbene exchange the 10th largest exchange after ico and ICO would be finish on Oct 31th , I know it's a rare thing to see such ICOs but i belive we can find if we search for them .

Now unfortunately, many of the ICO don't want to spend listings. I understand them, as the rate falls sharply . This was written by representative of one of the ICO in which I participated :

The top tier exchanges like Binance are expensive to list on. Very few ICOs list on these exchange in their launch into the marketplace. A lot of these projects are struggling post-ICO as a result of the current bearish market trend and it's understandable. So it's easier for them to list on smaller exchanges which in most cases doesn't sit well with the investors.

I think what ico's doing know is understandable because what's the point if they gonna listed their token right now in this situation (bear market), it will make investors more frustrating because the price can't reach the ico price.

I agree.I think the major exchanges are more strict and the requirements to be listed were impossible to reach by some ICO's. They also require a fee to be listed and I believe they increased that one as well. Although money should not be an issue to ICO's that sold million dollar worth of coins, the ICO's are also playing it safe by staying on what they have.àa

I have actually seen some ICOs with great community that got listed for free but it does not come every now and then like that. However, if we look at the market currently, we will realize that a lot of the exchanges actually are beginning to have some strict rules when it comes to listing tokens or new coins on the block, and in that case, it has made it difficult for some to want to pay such huge amount of listing fees at the end of it all. However, the main essence why crowd funding came into play, is for the development of the project, and for a project that was able to raise enough, i really do not see any reason why they should have an issue when it comes to listing on reputable exchanges.

Well, that is what makes them a big exchange, isn't it ? As they have the infrastructure and facilities, as well as some great number of users and volume, so one way or the other, if you want your coin or token exposed to more traders and investors, you will just have to be willing to pay for it as well. Although, I can relate with the fact that sometimes, I feel it is getting too huge these days as we tend to see some exchanges asking for a huge listing fee and for the fact that you have to go with some criteria before getting listed, but in a way, i feel it will help rid the space of some shit coins eventually anyway.

I think that today, all the same, you need to very carefully review the projects and many administrators of the exchanges are very serious about this, so I think that this is a normal situation in order to add to the exchanges.

I also invested to Sparkster ICO. still mu token it locked. I think they are waiting for this market correction. 

Who said listing is hard? It's quite easier than previous. You can pay some fee and easily get listed a coin. There are several exchanges where the fee is quite low. Anyway, I don't prefer those exchanges. Those are not too much trusted.

It was a scam, they all left and left the investors foolish hopes. If they want to wait for the market to improve, they need to delay ICO. But over the 6 months ending the ICO they still can not list then they are definitely scam

Some projects are even gotten listed for free in some big exchange.  I am a member of dav networks telegram group and I could still remember that dav team was asked if they want dav to be listed in binance and hitbtc. I think it depends of the quality of the projects and how important it is to the cryptocurrencies community.
However,  the exchange has their requirements for any projects to be listed in any exchanges and if your projects can meet those requirements there is no way the exchanges will not be glad in listing the projects.

Due to the current market situation most of the ico's are delaying there listing and they are believing that if market situation will turn good there market prise will good and I think that is the reason behind that.

Some fee - thats the problem. Listing fees are so big and many ICOs need to spend their money in another way - product development.

Yes, listing on exchanges is a hard process due to high requirements to token sale team (if we talk about top 20 exchanges due to CMC).
However, if a project has a utility (or internal) value - can be used in exchange for valuable services then the listing on other normal exchange will be smooth and cost-effective.

I would stay away from ICOs (https://coincodex.com/ico-calendar/) right now, they are not performing well. Wait for the bull market, there's gonna be a lot of opportunity there again.

I don't know how much you've researched, but there are many ways to gain listing in different exchanges, of course, the big exchanges that are moving a lot of money now, need to put a high entry fee to list your coin, or if not any scam coin would be listed in those exchanges trying to deceive people, but there are also other types of exchanges for less recognized currencies like crex24 or numex, those exchanges are quite cheap and you can even be listed for free if you win a vote.

Yes, of course it is quite a long time, but unfortunately such projects, which for a long time can not add a coin to the exchange a lot. One can only hope that they will ever add to the stock exchange, and not throw it.

At present many ICOs can be said to be very good but can not list on the market. because the market is very bad and Bitcoin has not increased again. If the ICOS list is now very dangerous will cause that currency to depreciate.

Not so new and still a very normal day as usual.

Good icos? if they are good then by any means they are going to be listed to huge exchanges and they will be getting a lot of support from the investors. It's not only about getting profit for the investors but for the development of that project. But if it shows nothing like that, don't hope that it will be a good one.

Ask the devs, maybe they are hiding something?

We have lost of exchange with different level and categories, so if the big exchange are more costly then their is small exchanges that the ico can start with then investors make it known and from their you get another big exchange which might be a big thing happening to the project, but for token to not get listed on any exchange for 6months to me is a scam and they are just deceiving the investor and any time their will block all social media which people can use to reach them, at least they got some funds through ico and if the funds is not ok to start their project they can return investors fund.
