[Rumor] One of the bigger Chinese exchanges is set to list Ethereum

I would like to hear your comments about this.

By bigger exchanges, I meant Huobi and Okcoin.

hmmm.  Care to share what you think might happen to price if this rumor is not a rumor? thanks in advance

I would not be shocked if this happens but will not put much faith in the rumor until we know its source.

[tokeweed]

It could go up some more due to the fact that more people get access in buying ETH.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a dump at the end of the road though.  Then a stage where price stagnates.  After that the cycle restarts again...  Or not.

Yeah.  I will not even put faith in it entirely until I see ETH actually listed.

Made this thread out of curiosity on what the people on these boards think...  Imagine if Augur was up we could create prediction markets based on these speculations.

Along with Sharkcoin?

Along with Sharkcoin?

And butthurt coin, yes...

Might want to post links to where this rumor originates. I'll read those and comment.

I really can't post any links.  It's just hearsay in our group's private chat.   

[shyliar]

Your private group started this rumour?

Nope, it was casually talked about, because there was already a rumor.  We didn't start it and we are taking it with a grain of salt.  I started this thread to see how the people here would take it.  And if you think it could be plausible or not.

[shyliar]

Already a rumour; but, no links? Sounds like a total fabrication then. Your group is wise not to take it seriously.

As I said, we are taking it with a grain of salt.  It was hearsay from one Chinese member.  I just thought it might be interesting to find out what the people on these boards would think.  If it was plausible or not...

^ That's hardly one of the bigger ones.

Pretty much guaranteed to happen sooner or later. 17K BTC 24 hour volume on poloniex right now and roughly 10x LTC's volume as tabulated by coinmarketcap. That's too much business for any exchange to avoid chasing.

Thing is - that move didn't work out so well for darkcoin (who was the exchange that added it?).

I'm an Ethereum optimist but short term if I was an exchange I think it would still be a wait and see ... seems too early. 

If you had even 1/8th of this volume for a month then yeah.  I'm convinced this HAS to be the old bitcoin people seeking an alternative for bitcoin due to the infighting and lack of progress.

What does the exchange care? They get fees for a while while it is hot, and if they end up delisting it, then they do.

I agree that extreme churn is annoying for everyone but I doubt ETH trading is going to head toward comatose very soon. I could be wrong though.
