Exchange listing strategy

[Nnuego]

After completing an ICO one of the next major agenda for a project is listing. The first listing.
There are dexs that would just your project for free and without permission, and for bigger exchanges you would likely have to pay a fee to get  listed and little extra for publicity.
How important is the first listing?
Most investors pressure the team to get listed on a big exchange to kick things off, and avoid the DEXS which they claim, kills off tokens.
I disagree with that, a good product would sell anywhere and people would not mind diving in the mud to pull out gold. And if it does dump, it is down to a lot of factors, and not just the exchange it was trading on.
I personally like a small listing to build volume before bigger exchanges are contracted, it equally gives investors options, as not everyone likes to trade on centralized exchanges.

No man, dexs are worst because they are decentralised and they will list the coin at whatever prices they want. They will sell to lowest prices available because these are the people who are no one but the bounty hunters. They get their coins at free of cost by working on the bounties and thus it doesn't matter to them if they are selling the coin at lower prices than the ICO one. While on the other hand when it comes to the investors then they have to wait for long long period of time because they have to cross the Break even point to profit themselves. Due to heavy dumping it takes lot of time to recover.

Well almost all coins will start on a DEX because there's nothing the project developers can do about that. After that I am a believer that product creates hype rather than exchanges. I am happy for my tokens to be listed on a smaller exchange initially just so people can trade if they wish but to then focus their funds and attention on development. Once a coin is more established and further along the development stage a lot of exchanges will consider listing for free or at least at a more discounted price.

I don't see the relationship between an exchange being worst bad simply because it is decentralized. Exchanges in general is shifting towards decentralization. And the exchange does not determine price, traders do.
Bounty hunters dumping is not as a result of the exchange and they would still dump the token/coin if it's listed on a big exchange, if the product is not futuristic and relevant.
That is the catalyst to high prices, product and marketing.

I think first listing is not the important one, you get listing offers from exchanges if you are big enough and if you are not big enough than a small exchange would be really all you need. However, if you want to get any bigger and get a bigger audience and bigger volume to your coin than you need to pay up and get listed on big exchanges such as binance or even bittrex.

If you do not get listed there and just get listed on the smaller ones like coinpulse or cryptopia or whatever than you will not get to see that big spike in volume and just be "another coin" instead. That is still not bad because you will be a coin that got listed on a coin exchange and that is still a great deal of work. Having your coin on ICO and getting funded enough to start and improve and getting listed anywhere is still better than probably 90% of the ICO's that never really go that far.

I was actually thinking this yesterday, the import of first listing on a coin and I thought to create a topic about it, and in my usual style, I searched first to see if the topic has been discussed before, so I found this. Trends have shown that the calibre of exchange a project first lists it's coin has to a large extent on huge impact on it and how fast the demand will spread. Legends have shown that listing first on bigger exchanges with significant daily volume has a great impact on the token.

Of course it affects the project, it is not about the volume alone but it is all about their capability bringing their project into another stage.
if they can afford to list it on i.e Bittrex after ICO, it explains that they are ready and their project can be considered as a good one in term of technology,mission,vision and community.
in the end, first listing is the most important thing that they need to do. because it helps the project greatly

First token Listing on a major cryptocurrency exchange is the best option,despite the fact that the ICO devs will have to pay a fee.Having their tokens listed on bigger exchanges means more trust and authority for the ICO project+increased demand for the tokens.
Dexs just aren't that popular,but they are the future of crypto trading.

[aoihs00]

It’s very important to have first listing made immediately or at least within timepoint when investors and hunters do not fade up their will to invest more into that project. I mean listing makes people very much interested in that project, they are enthusiastic about it and that waiting period makes them look forward to that project and be active with it. I guess doesn’t matter it’s dex or centralised one. Listing is important itself.

[astridwi]

the initial strategy of an ICO when listing the market is to register at DEX such as forkdelta, etherdelta or IDEX and see the development of the trading volume there if satisfying can be a better exchange rate.
Exchange centralization currently has a better user and volume, so the next target is listing on some of them that will make coins more popular, let's say mercatox, hitbtc, huobi, OKEx and the top one is binance

[SvonioneFromMangoCoinz]

For me, a bounty hunter, I would sell any at any trading platform. Because I think ICO projects now usually go down for a long time and it's hard to recover. Credits have been rated as a potential project but it has not been able to grow since it was listed on some exchanges. So I lost my faith, I would sell all my tokens at decentralized or centralized trading.

[AdamRay]

 Listed on the major exchanges will certainly be safer and have cheaper transaction fees. But in some non-potential ICO projects, waiting for it to be listed on some major exchanges will be very long and even unlikely. so why do we have to wait? Sell everything possible when its price is high although the price at that time is lower than the price of the ICO.

[rodalutor]

Who is the exchange listing looking to benefit? For many teams the price of their token is not an immediate priority, unlike many investors/traders they have a long term outlook and their tokens are usually locked for quite some time. Development is their priority as well as growing their brand and making strategic business decisions. An exchange listing could and often will be a part of that but many teams a team will let this take a back seat until they're closer to release.

[wantjokull]

I don’t think crypot coins are product and services which can get sold anywhere they want. This is actually critical part really and coins getting over an exchanger can be perfect way to attract more supporters for the project. Even when there is voting or some sort of competition for listing then I have seen community stands up for that coin to get listed as fast as it could. So you can imagine how important it is really.

Whether it is centralised or decentralised all that matters is good support, good volume.

I agree with this and to add also, after they get to free decentralized ones, they should work on the project and have some major changes and updates that will make the project really look promising for other centralized ones that really don't mandatory need the listing fee if they see your project is doing well.

Investor only thing about profit that they get without see what developer do to develop their project, from some project that i see so far, investor only care about listed on big exchange that need expensive fees for developers to pay. And then when developer don't have enough money to manage their project, they get blamed by everyone.

A good project would still remain a good project no matter which exchange would it be traded or first listed. Usually it do really starts on DEX and as a coin owner.Dont get affected on the pressure on where those investors
do demand on big exchangers.They dont know on what they are talking yet we know theres a specific criteria for the coin to be listed either needs to have a fee or completely free.
The important thing is here that coin would still manages to gain volume or support neither on dex or centralized ones.

[metribitcoin]

In my opinion the price of the token after listed on the exchange will be according to fundamental of the project. Just like Pundi X that firstly listed on Idex and the price keep going up to more than 10 times, but after listed on Binance the price keep down. I think new token will be difficult to list first in Binance because listing fee of Binance is too high.

[Crypto Girl]

It's true, as having a good support that will ensure that the price won't dump too much then it will be fine.
However, listing on dex can be done even without the knowledge of the team, more likely they'll be surprise that their token was being traded on dex like forkdelta and ED. What the team should do is to avoid listing on exchange sites that have many bots as it will surely kill the price. Really, I had seen those.

[btc_angela]

I don't know, but I have to go with projects listing their tokens on big exchanges. Its a big exposure for them and could potentially grow their value overtime. As compare for listing in a crappy exchanges wherein the bounty hunters have no choice but to dump because they're afraid that it potentially declined in prices. So if projects believed in their token then they might as well get it to a reputable exchanges for listing, this is just my opinion folks.
