How to tell if coin will be listed on big exchange?

[1L0v3]

How do people evaluate whether a newer alt coin is likely to be listed on one of the major exchanges or is likely to remain restricted to the smaller and lesser used ones?

Here is how Bittrex makes that decision:

I think it depends on coins developers and how much they are powerful to convince the exchange to list the coin.

you only contact exchanger founder
ussualy all exchanger ready page submit coin, every exchanger difference standard requirment added coin, very dificult added coin to poloniex

very dificult added coin to poloniex

Makes sense.. looks like they don't have a fixed set of criteria for people to meet:

volume is a big factor for exchanges. Exchanges will add any coin if it brings them $$$ in fees, don't really matter if it's a shittoken, or an ICO scam really, if it brings in maker/taker fees, they will list it.
Sadly, it's no longer a sign of a "good" project to be listed on big exchange, it's only a sign of volume

they are 6 factors/criteria that they consider (popularity , team , technology , data , market cap and the most of all the community support) but others cryptocoin pay some fees to exchanges to get listed.

Total volume of the coins, the project uniqueness, the investors into the project, the developers, along with the funding team is the one that makes the coin listed to exchanges. Importantly the developers effort plays a vital role in gaining support through different platforms.

Thanks for all the info!

What's the biggest red flag to indicate that a coin will definitely not be listed on a big exchange - even if it meets a lot of the other criteria?

I will of course include how its ICO performed. If it hardly sell, say it was able to sell only like 20%, then it is a point less from that coin to be listed on top exchange platform. But another stronger factor would be the determination of the project team to be listed on those exchanges. And on top of them all is the overall performance of the project.

The developers usually have to pay a fee to get their coin listed on most exchanges like bittrex and polinex (an exception is the decentralisaed exchanges like openledger).

Once they are listed, if the volume is huge, then the main bitcoin exchanges will list it (kraken, bitfinex etc)

see from my experience. if you want to know whether the coin / token has entered in the exchanger. I am quite browsing to find where the trade activity is quite a lot. in addition you can contact and find information about this from the coin / token website

Interesting to see that you don't consider bittrex and polinex to be major exchanges. I thought they were :/

If the devs behind it has applied that there coins is to listed on major exchanges, so its up to the exchanges decision whether to approved or not. Usually they look at the team behind the project, the total number of coins (premine or not) and of course the initial price that the project submitted. Its not that long for exchanges to list the coins, but they can also de-list them if the coins are not that active, meaning no trading activity.

[BigTeeths]

As far as I know, devs just pay those exchange sites so their coin will be listed. I remembered that I read in a conversation that you need to pay 8btc to be able to list your coin on Cryptopia.

Not sure what you mean by 'data' & 'technology' in terms of criteria to evaluate getting listed Jannn. Can you clarify or give an example? re: technology are you referring to the coding language or platform that it utilizes?

[johnleo]

pay them, no one will refuse money

pay them, no one will refuse money 

Probably, But I think there should be more, for example, the project should be promissing with fast ICO progress and famous team members, also active updates is also important.

[ryanben]

Any coin that wants to be listed on major exchanges must adhere to their rules. If the project meets the rules and needs a cost for them to enumerate the project on their platform

[Rugosa]

it has to at least pay the fees for hosting. It mostly depends on the community and I imagine a good dev rep wouldnt hurt
