Bitcoin Forum

I participated in the cryptassist ICO a few months ago, and I chose this out of the many projects I could have done the ICO, but still no listing.
This is because of the market, but I strongly believe that if the project is good enough, the team should not be scared of listing

In my opinion, there are some reasons to make them do like that. And my assuming:

1. Exchanges increase the fee of listing (fee in ETH or BTC). I am not sure about this.

2. The speculation of whales. Because ETH and BTC price are low now. Dev team knows their project is potential, thus this situation may happen.

in my opinion it seems the team is not confident with their project. so they feared the price of the token would be destroyed when entering the market, so he didn't listed their tokens to Exchange.

With such a market, you need to be suicidal to start listing your own tokens. Unfortunately, this is the situation on the market now and so everyone needs to wait for a better time. It’s better to sell your tokens for $ 100 in 3 months than to sell them for $ 1 today. Do you agree with me?

It would be listed if the coin has a good volume other wise developers need to pay their listing fee which i think costy and it's not guaranteed the coin would have a decent volume it might be for the first few months but it will go down little and little until there's no volume, developers want to avoid that. heck i am still even waiting for an exchange to sell my altcoins its been almost a year since the ico ended.

I am in the same position. I have too many questions. I work with friends. And I lead a lot of projects. I participate in block companies and in youtube companies. And I can note that for the last half year of the payment, there has practically been no payment. Yes, my wallet was replenished with coins, but their price is so low that I think I will not even sell them. The only project that quickly fulfilled its conditions was called WES; not only did they pay out quickly, the price of the token was quite high.

I am embarrassing such a project policy.

Unless they want their tokens to drop to nothing I don't see a point in listing on major exchange during these times. Besides, some exchanges charge large sum of money to list token which can keep people from using them. I am not sure how they can continue to function like this and if they don't change their business model something else will replace them soon enough.

It seems like it's true that the project I'm following is also like you have been around for 3 months there is no information about the exchange but with market conditions like this it seems to worsen the price of tokens, and the dev said waiting for the crypto market to stabilize but when did it happen?

Even if the project is good.. if there's no buyers the price of token or coin will definitely plummet below its actual price.. which isn't a good thing for investors.. so it is best to wait for the bull or at least when the market has a 200% gain

It seems like that, of course the project has thought about the impact if it registers in exchange for the current market situation. Indeed, many projects are delaying listings in exchange for reasons that the crypto market is not yet stable. That really happened. But there are also projects that register in exchange for the current situation.

yes I think like that, right now I have several altcoins that don't come in or don't register in an exchanger, maybe this is one of their strategies to protect investors

Maybe they have a strategy in setting up their marketing project ico. Not the team is scared to list, but this is about the project team strategy. If the purchase of ico is using the usd on the market with these circumstances, it's not gonna take much. If the purchase of ico is using the BTC or ETH the list at the market with these circumstances it's very very difficult to make a decision.

Yes you are very right about this, and i do agree with you
exchanges regardless of the listing fee, are very calm and relaxed when it comes to adding up tokens to their exchange group because there is no point listing a token that woud be delisted in few weeks.

it doesn't worth such an hassle.
If the project is of good product and range, it has and will have no problem of listing.

Yeah i have seen many projects in last few months that seem to be hesistant to list their tokens on exchanges, some have even kept the tokens locked so no one can transfer them, also many projects are intentionally holding the bounty tokens i think these steps create negativity among the community so its better to move on and unlock, list and transfer the tokens to the deserved people, it is free market like all other coins are trading, a project should not worry about dumps after listing.

Many projects are now delayed on the exchange, in order to avoid the decline in the price of the currency.

What about the fact that the suddenly decided to lock bounty tokens for 3 months until d first listing

Indeed, many projects do not want to issue their tokens to the exchange, because they are afraid of a significant reduction in their prices, respectively, this may affect the development of the project in the future. Regardless of whether the project has a working product or a good team, they are still waiting for favorable conditions to release their token to the exchange.

In fact, many times are investors themselves the ones who ask ICO teams to not list tokens in exchanges until the market situation changes. For ICO tems it would not be a problem to list their tokens now, after all, they have raised the money they needed and their own tokens are usually locked for one year, but they prefer to do what they think is better for their investors.

A problem with many ICO's but with different reasons.
There may be a time that you will thank them for being not in a rush to list their tokens.

Participants wants to sell in haste therefore it could ruin the real ICO price. What is more? Traders will start playing with the price then suddenly leave it dumping everything they got.
Investors end up being disappointed with this kind of events and so they back out. There are small investors too who would rush to sell.

If I were you, I would ask their team first for what reasons into why they are listing. If they are not doing what is in their roadmap then you members should be to notify them that they are already late into listing.

It's normal in this year as the current market not a best time to listing tokens, it's just let the investor dump the token to super low price, don't worry if you know it's a potential project and team member will listing to exchange soon, just follow their community channel and get the latest update

Yeah the trend has a lot to do witht that it seems. Remember last when when the market and bitcoin was actively moving positively, we had a boom in ico and project releases. Though it probably did more harm since bogus projects had a high time taking people's money as well.

How exactly does the condition of the market affect the listing? Is is because the ICO projects cannot pay for the fee? There are numerous exchanges out there that has low listing fees.

The market situation is so bad and have resulted in a lot of coins being dumped on getting to an exchange, I have seen a lot of coins dump more than 10 times their ICO price. I think largely the huge fall of eth is responsible, if the price of eth has been relatively stable most ICO would not have dumped so huge as have been seen recently

I know several high potential projects which were listed and the price of the coin dropped significantly after listing.
And not the hunters dumped their coins ( as they has still not received ) . Normally, if there is a high demand for the
tokens it`s price should increase but the market situation is more complicated than that.

Now there are really a lot of ICO teams that don’t list their tokens to the exchange, for fear of falling their tokens in price. And the fall does not happen many times, but even dozens of times and their tokens practically depreciate. At the same time, they also delay payments to bounty hunters. In many cases, ICO teams declare signature campaigns finished and, as a matter of fact, continue to raise funds without an ICO signature campaign. So they save considerably in the future on payments to bounty hunters, well, on our part, there is a significant delay in payments.

Well, it's hard to say, as I've noticed, there's rarely a price increase. The price does not always depend on the development team and even if they have super marketing, the price depends on the market and patience pays off !

I think the developer has his own marketing strategy. They choose the right time for the listing process in the market.

why there is no list, actually all the project teams are currently waiting for the Bullrun market. if the listing now will be very fatal at the price of their altcoin. there they don't want it to happen.

Some projects decided to extend their ICO because of fhe price of an altcoin they are using as a payment like ETH, BTC, LTC and XRP are getting lower so the result, their funds to support the project also minimize. That also applies to exchange listing. Thhey decided to delay the listing because they don't have enough funds to support the project and cover the fee for the listing at the same time. They are also protecting their investors against possible dump that will ride along with the bear market.

ever since the first exchange in history was created many years ago  they were always listing assets that could make THEM the most money not anything that exists.

so in case of altcoins and tokens they coin they list might very well be a useless shitcoin but as long as it has a high enough volume to give them a good profit covering the costs of adding said new coin they will do it. otherwise they won't.
it is as simple as that!

It all depends on the team. Many are very much tied up with this case. The reasons are many. To be honest, it does not matter when our coins list the main thing that they have value and do not fall into the ranks of new Shitcoins.

I think that the main thing is to calculate the volume of the exchange. For example, it is difficult for a new token to start its life with a large exchange. You must first try it on the stock exchange with small trading volumes, then goes into the course of marketing, need news or a contract that will interest investors and after the project has brought a lot of noise can be listed on a good exchange.

It's the market current situation that making the developers hesistant to list their token. They might be thinking that the down market will only be a suicidal on their part. They might be waiting for the right time, and that is during bullish period.

the possibility of waiting for the right moment bro. because they do not want to take risks that can be detrimental to them, the most important thing is to get the tokens just waiting to be registered in the market.

IMO, it might be a good decision not to list in this market. Even the prices of established coins have fell sharply, new coins might be even worst.

Their Token is sold when the market is at a high price. For example, when Bitcoin is at over $ 6,000, however, it is currently around $ 3,200. So if their tokens are listed on the exchange, it will definitely fall down, they are afraid of that

Which is precisely right, even a strong project might end to nothing as the market still in its bearish movements, the team might seen the possibilities, as long as they still giving updates and they are open or answering investors question chances that one of this day they might be listed in one of those many exchange around, if you strongly believes in it then wait and trust them will bring positive outlook.

How they will list token on exchange? Most of them are scammer and few are failed to raise fund. In my experience more then 70% ICO came here just for scam. Means their intention is just skip with raised fund. On the other hand 20% ICO's failed to raised fund, so there is no question that they will list their token on exchange. Even some of then listed their token on DEX exchange but its not worthy. Around 10% ICO's are successfully raised fund and listed on few reputed exchange. There is another problem is bear market. Peoples are not much interested to invest on ICO. So it will better to stay away from ICO's now. I can't see much benefits on ICO, most of them drop price eventually.  

Listing in bear market is not a good move and will significantly affect price. Since you believe in the project, be patient and wait till the right time to list the coin in exchange.

the main reason might be because the development team was too scared if the price of their tokens was destroyed. but that will cause new problems. like investors who are disappointed, and maybe if in the end they list their tokens to the market. there will be many people who will dump their tokens to the market.

Sometimes it's not a problem of being scared to list, but a strategic move.
Centralized exchanges cost money to be listed on.
The affordable ones can actually ruin the value of your coin because a lot of these exchanges have zero volume.
Listing would actually destroy the entire tokenomics and make the company go under in these cases.

A smart company would do different strategies in these market conditions.
Take, for example, crowdholding.
It is basically only listed on one decentralized exchange, no listing fees whatsoever.
But the the tokenomics allow demand to naturally increase.
Making it possible for them to weather the storms.

Now many projects are in no hurry to listing their tokens on the stock exchange. I think this is primarily due to the fear that their token will not survive in such a market. But I also believe that developers should not be afraid of this if their project is promising.

In my opinion I think it is because of the market conditions because most altcoins tend to lose their value the moment they list on any exchange (big or small exchange). It is not because the project is bad or the team are not good enough but because of the bear market conditions.

I think that if a project is good and roadmap is on development you should not be scared about the fact that the token is not listed anywhere.

I think each section have their own reason. We know some project want to listed in big market. But that markets now have their own rule maybe to make their reputation to be better and people not think only PnD market.

I hope you are right. I also have some token that are not listed on any exchange, but some of these projects still look promising. Hopefully good projects will eventually be listed someday.

Bearish market is not the reason why they did not list until now their token mate,there are some projects that they prioritize the improvement and to have a good outcome before they list it,because they care with their investor's that's why they make sure to have a good development so that the investors will earn.

Listing of the token is a definitely important event but of course the team should not be scared of listing on any market cycle if they are strong. But there are a lot of projects still didn't not release their tokes and din't list on exchanges, Origo for example... it is not good i think and if you conduct your ico on bearish market then you must be pretty strong to come out on the same market.

The problem is also that many projects that have not yet entered the stock exchange will never go to it. This is the problem of all the ICO and with this we can do little.

You have answered your question yourself. Yes, it is because of the market. Many of them are fearing of their token getting dump by hunters like you which might kill the project and sometimes the reason for not listing is because that is not the next thing according to their roadmap. Many ICO has already stated issue regarding listing in their whitepaper but since you will not read then you keep on thinking why they have not listed the coin. Finally, many projects want to get listed on top rank exchange platform in order to build up the volume but due to little money raise in ICO they will not be able to list the token

Many of them are not scare of listing but the reason why they have not listed their token is that they couldn't raise enough to complete the project not to talk of listing. I have seen a hardworking team like Gymreward that raise less than 10 ETH during initial coin offering. If such project is own by you, you will not consider listing even though you have giving bounty hunters token with an equivalent price greater than what you have realized in ICO. Such a project will die a natural death if listed. Ones the market is fully booming and those project see great prospect in term of development then they will surely list token in good exchanges.

The main reason behind not listing the coins on exchanges is the bearish market situation. Even good projects could fail because of that. There is not enough liquidity on the market and the price could crash. When it happens it is very difficult to recover.

Many of my tokens are still not registered in the exchange market. I always follow project updates through social media accounts like a telegram. And on the telegram, the team was very active in providing information about developments. And they say market conditions have not increased, so if the current token is registered it will definitely damage the price of tokens and the project can go bankrupt.

It's not just about the market alone is the problem. see a bad crypto situation certainly also make coin will hesitate to go on the market and ultimately will only fall. rather I think it's an appropriate momentum to await admission.

in fact, the market can accept all tokens that have good potential and are able to pay for registration to be able to enter the exchange that has a very high volume every day, because there will be no free entry in the exchange place list, all of them need costs and must has a good price movement so that the coin is not included in the delete list at the exchange.

The reason of the pending market listing could be, because the team is waiting for the perfect opportunity. With many consideration so that it could keep the value of the coins for not dropping just like another project when they first time hit the market.

Even if the project is good, But with the general market situation in 2018, all tokens listed on the exchanges, prices are dumped. I have seen promising projects but still suffer from the market, which is why ICO died in 2018.

Indeed, when it is difficult to make it all needs improvement and includes a new strategy to survive. Every project must make another step to get into an exchange with more valued values. As a trader, of course, you will also change the strategy that is done to get good luck.

The listing in exchanges carry a huge amount in bitcoin. Also, since the market has not recovered yet, devs are scared to list as their tokens or coins could suffer a massive dump and not recover.

I don't know why many project are scared to list on exchange due to current market status and now is even the best time for them to get listed so as to struggle and survive along with other great project but I see them only after the funds as they want market to recover so the funds can also increase in value which is in their own interest and not concern about others and investors who take their funds for supporting them.

As you can see,the situation of the market is bad for any project to list now,the price is not stable and many if the dev are afraid of what will become of their project if they should list now,the present state of the market can affect any project in matter how good the project is.

If it turns out that there are still no tokens on the stock exchange, then the team is not sure about their project!

Many think that bounty hunters dump the coin when list, but you can see, its always just 2 percent of the total token are for bounty participants. So why to be scared of listing? If the project is strong, it will be. Also, investors in it should not be afraid of the future market conditions.

Of course, the ICO teams are now doing the right thing that they don’t list their new tokens to the exchange. Now it is a direct way to the depreciation of the new token. Tokens fall in price right at times, or even tenfold. Therefore, I am not very indignant that the ICO teams are in no hurry to transfer these tokens to our wallets. Of course, it would be better if they sent the earned tokens to the bounty hunters right away, while freezing them for a certain period in their wallets.

As OP said projects are scared to list the token in the exchanges due to bear market and some teams are even postponing their TGE after collecting the money . While their intentions maybe to save the investors it creates a bad feeling when they delay it too long.

very few tokens can be entered on the exchange because in my opinion to be able to enter the exchange requires a low cost, but nowadays there are a lot of ICO projects trying to make their own exchange because by making the project their platform can benefit which is very much and does not require expensive fees.

The market condition made ICOs not to list or stop at the middle of their roadmap.

They can't attain to get into more losses by proceeding the project. And even listing their projects it's already a burden to them, if a project maintained the promised roadmap then I salute them but overall majority of them has this major concern.

There are many reasons why a project can't list their tokens on exchange. This depends on more factors than you think.
But the most common reason is because the market is in a downtrend. This causes their token when listed on the market to be reduced ...

Sometimes the most right decision of the team may not come along with what we want. The team, of course, also wants to list their tokens to exchanges as soon as possible but the market still says it's not the best time to do so.

registering a token or coin from a new project at a time when the market is unstable is very risky, if it is done, a coin or token will not last long in the exchange, except projects that have large funds.

Many projects delay and it makes investors feel uncomfortable, and they no longer believe in those projects. I also really hate the project fearing bear market and postponing TGE. For me, those projects will not have good results

Good decisions are not always the popular ones. Investors and bounty hunters want exchanges whereas developers want higher prices. They should make it available to trade on small exchanges, it won't dump but allows free trade

It is understandable that when they conduct ICO, ETH and BTC prices are still quite high compared to the current time. Now if they list the token on the exchanges, it will inevitably reduce the price, as well as investors to dump strongly.

In bear market conditions like now, there is no term good project/potential project or bad project, all of them will feel the same thing in the exchange, which is fall in price. Has anyone ever said that bitcoin is a failed project? or ETH is a failed project? I don't think anyone would say that but when the bear market comes, the two best coins will decline. Moreover for newly released altcoin which only has few investors, the decline in altcoin prices is very vulnerable.

If you have already the tokens from bounty then you can sell it to Forkdelta, EtherDelta or Tokenjar. But if they haven't distributed yet the tokens, you need to wait a little longer for the distribution. They must have a good reason why they still don't list the tokens to official exchanges. And maybe they are already in negotiations for listing and you need to have more patience.

This is becoming the trend for now, after token sales ,tokens  would take a longer time to be listed in an exchange, i can't really say why but i think it has to do with the value of Bitcoin and ethereum, if their value is down, i think it affects other crypto so listing, would leave the token worth less.

The market is in the downtrend period, ETH prices are too low for projects to have enough money to maintain. They are trying to make a hole to develop the project and if the project is not strong enough and want to list the exchange. They will be dumped by the investor and the bounty hunter.

If the team does everything correctly, they will not allow their token to fall in price after entering the exchange. Maybe now they not has this opportunity and therefore still not released the coins. I think there's nothing wrong with that and you should wait until things are back to normal.

The team is definitely afraid of going public, especially when the cryptocurrency market is down, the listing may lead to a rapid depreciation of the token, or when the token is listed, the capitalist's entry can also damage the token's investors. Once the token is listed, the team loses control.

The team can be understood. Because now the market situation is really bad. And it is better to make the listing later than now, since the price will at the moment be several times lower.

It is not easy to list of the big exchanges since they will ask for large amount in bitcoin,I am not sure what is that project about but if they have enough funds for doing it then they will did it already so it means they didn't raised enough funds for doing it.

I think delaying a listing has been a sensible move from some of the recent ICO projects. Others that have listed during the past 6 months have been really severely decimated in price in some cases by as much as 98% from their ICO sale price. We all want to trade without restriction but sometimes the timing can make a big difference.

Due to the increase in fraud, the ICO market is fading, and I think the main reason why these projects cannot be successfully listed is that they are just a scam.

Not just that particular project you are referring, but many devs are being scared of this down fall market and most of them are delaying listing their coin/token into exchanges. This is basically due to they do not want their coin/token to get dumped due to the condition of this crypto space. I think this must be a good action as delaying for some time before market will be restored into positive trend, may ensure that their coin will not be wildly dumped so that they will not let their project to go down.

This could be another reason for why some ICOs are delaying their exchange listing but OP has clearly stated that the project he is engaging is really good one and I believe he must have did all the needed due diligence.

When I see projects taking shield behind the current market and not listing on exchange, it gets me angry and I'm like: was the market any good when you were conducting your ico. You took investors money in the bear market but can't lost on exchange with excuses of the market. It's saddening I pray people learn and take a break from ICOs.

As I noted, with such a market, tokens are poured onto the exchange at one price and after a while the price instantly drops. Maybe the team is just waiting for the best market situation in order not to lose the value of their tokens.

Unfortunately, now it happens with the majority of projects, it remains only to hope for decency.

Why hurry with the listing? The team protects its investors and now is really not the best time for listing. In the bear market there are few who want to buy and therefore prices are falling.

It is because ICOs haven´t raised so much money and listing is still one of the most expensive outcome for these projects.
Exchange listing fees should be reduced if we still want to see new tokens listed on exchanges.

When there is bullish market  it is less interest  for investing and the investors are more cautious. It is not a good time for coins
to be  listed, as they can suffer a lot when enter the market. Good projects suffer less but the whole market is impacted with the bears.

The downtrend market, the price of BTC and ETH dropped sharply, the projects did not have enough money to maintain the project and they could not afford to pay for the listing on the exchange. That is the main reason why few coins can be listed on the exchange.
