When an ALT gets listed on exchange how is the price determined?

[trademindxofficial]

Hey guys,

Question I have is: once an ICO is over and later an ALT coin/token gets listed on exchange, how is the price of the ALT determined?

Is there for example a formula that is used by exchanges based on ICO sale price or is it just pure supply/demand? So in the case of the latter, does the exchange simply list the coin and let the buy/sell orders drive the price?

Also to add to this question, if an ICO decided to give away ALL it's coins/tokens as an airdrop, can it still be listed on exchange? Or that would not be possible?

Look forward to feedback on this.

The price is determined by the demand of the market. The exchange initial price has no meaning.
For the second question you could take a look at Bitcoin cash, Bitcoin gold, Ontology. All have been doing really well on the market. In fact the airdrop of 1000 ONT for subscribers turned into the price of 1 BTC.

Thanks have not heard of Ontology - will look into! Sounds exactly what I'm looking for.

Usually the dev  or the team set the ICO price on the exchange and let the market or the traders decide whether they will dump it or they will pump it. If the demand is good it will probably pump specially  if it has small supply.

If the new token after ICO first enters the exchange, its initial price is set by the ICO command. However, then the price of this token is formed solely on the basis of supply and demand. And constantly the price is influenced by various factors. If the ICO project is still unfolding, then the price of the token will only increase with time.

it took me a while to figure it out i think the price is determined of how much peope buy and sell the coin and the idea of the project.

For a currency to have value, it needs two important things: first, long-term sustainability through portfolios and users who are buying and selling digital currency in exchanges while using storage methods to maintain their currencies, is the classic offer and demand for the coins. And second, Business / Usability, if a company accepts a cryptocurrency as a form of payment, this gives usability, that is, these currencies are an exchange of value. If your currency complies with these characteristics your demand will increase by determining your price upwards or the opposite may occur, therefore the price is not determined by the exchange.

[Waqas vicky]

it based on the seller and buyers decision.
People are setting the price of any token in the market, it is based on the supply and demand.

There is no exact basis for the rise and fall! Everything according to market rules! Another part is that the "shark" manipulates the market!
But I always believe the digital money market will grow in the near future!

Answering second one, I think that an ICO that is doing that, instead of burning coin are devaluating them, because of dump

[funchiestz]

The price is determined by supply-demand as it is said in friends. But I think the team that sells tokens is buying at a certain price so that they can fall in price. In this way they prevent their token from depreciating to a certain level.

I think if ico succeeds and alt gets list exchange. Their price is very high, because many people know it is the best way

Everything depends heavily on the state of the market, if it is on the rise, when the token is listed on the exchange, it can cost more than the price on the ICO was, when the market is in the price can be often lower, also it depends when the tokens for the bounty company where distributed, usually the price of the token is peaked a few days after the listing, and then everyone forgets about the token and the next pump will happen only after good news or a list on a new exchange.

You'll notice that once coins get listed on an exchange, their starting price is often WAY higher than the price they end up dropping to. I think a lot of people just dump their coins on the first chance they can get, which is when it is released on an exchange. Very rarely will there be a coin that get listed that doesn't immediately see a massive drop in price.

There is an initial price specified in ICO, but when the coin goes to the exchange, the price is less and then if the coin or token is in demand then it starts to increase..

In my opinion, price is based on the first decision of ICO's campaign and it is rising or falling in accordance to the current results of going on project.

[Applechild]

I believe they must have a set of standard that determines the price of coins. Later the usefulness of the alt coin can greatly contribute to its price. If you look at the market today,  you will notice that some altcoin keep falling in price on a daily basis, but in that same market you find out some coins are growing at a high speed.

I would say the opening price should open up at the last ICO price that was used.  This should make a smooth transition over to the exchange trading.  I know on day 1 its usually a wild ride.  Spike up (sometimes huge) follwed by a sharp down. 

[Aleksey1958]

The coin comes to the exchanges with the price that was on the ico, the price already depends on the purchases, sales of the coin and on the volume

[moepaing]

There are many factors of this determination and everything depends on the alternative cryptocurrency and exchange there. I think that there is not the right answer without information.

I think prices were initially determined by ICO suppliers, but price increases were reduced by supply and demand.
