Listing on exchanges is affecting projects too

[Bitbtc8]

Why is no one talking about price listing of exchanges? exchanges listing is becoming a huge problem for many start up projects, how can an exchange be demanding for 8btc to list? how will the projects have enough money to work on their roadmap? i think exchange problem is what many of us are not seeing and talking about...it would have been a different story for some projects that lacks funds

[pooh95]

Yes, there is such a problem, especially for new projects, lack of funds, careful selection by the exchanges themselves, all this greatly affects demand, and, as a result, the cost of coins, I think, the situation should change when the market recovers

[tabas]

It's very simple, if the project doesn't have their own budget to list their token to a decent exchange they have an option to stop or list to an exchange that has a cheaper fee.

i think exchange problem is what many of us are not seeing and talking about

It's because the majority of the people here are investors and not developers.

Good point, this is actually what drives many new projects to list on other low exchanges they see, big exchanges are uneasy with new projects,they are demanding big money which i think its really bad, its a fact that not all projects will achieve their hardcap in ICO projects,i hope exchanges can reconsider listing fees

Indeed we know that the average listing fee in exchange is not cheap, but this is not a reason to stop the project, because there is still an exchange with a cheap listing fee and also has a voting system in their community, to determine the addition of new tokens later.

That is because people are acting addicted to some exchanges. You will see the investors insisting that they want a token to be listed on a certain exchange where there are series of exchanges looking for free listing.

For exchange fee issue, I think it is natural that they ask for costs, which can be said to be expensive for projects that lack funds, because if this is not implemented, I think there will be many projects that voluntarily register at a good exchange but do not have interested ones.

Funny enough it now looks like a norm, most people don't see it as an issue listing on big exchanges even the community will kinda mount pressure on the team to list in major exchanges without considering the effect it will have on the project. However, what I understand is, any project with a good concept can set up strategies, list on a good exchange first, create awareness before migrating to other exchanges in this way, it won't have any effect on the project.

I don't agree with you. Funds aren't only the problem here. Cryptosolartech, HDAC, Online and so many projects raised 50-80 Million USD from the ICO, but they did not list on a better exchange like Binance, Huobi, oKex! Because they don't want to spend that money, they want to fill their belly by eating people's money. You know most of the projects are greedy or scammer minded in crypto! Good projects can increase their value even by listing on IDEX!

[mamesso]

The bigger the exchange market, the greater the registration fee that has to be incurred. In everyday life we ​​often encounter cases like that, The greater the cost, the better the service obtained, And it will be easier to attract the attention of traders.
So I guess, to increase the attractiveness of traders, a project must have its own costs to be able to register their coins in a good market.

[ahmadakbari]

I don't know where you got this information from and I don't think there is a certain amount of money that is gotten by exchanges to list a token. The exact amount is likely determined in negotiations. A exchange might list a token freely as it has benefits for them. Also, they don't list a token even if they are offered high amounts of money.
Due to high number of exchanges, there is a competetive market. This makes the listing costs lower. I am sure there are many exchanges (I mean good exchanges) that list the tokens with very lower amounts of money.

[Cheesus]

Most of the good projects are well funded! If you have a unique model and products in your project, then money will not be a problem to list on the bigger exchange. BEAM raised less than 5 Million USD but they are listed on Binance, but Pumapay raised more than 100 Million USD but they did not list on Binance or on any major exchanges. Money is not the issue here mate, don't support scammers words, please.

Sadly as it is, most of these exchanges aren't helping matters as they care only about their own cut while it is the community that most times pushes the team into taking such steps. A good team should always have their plan, listen to the community but not in all cases and also does not mean they have to list on a shit exchange; there are good exchangea which can help kick off a project after which the team can consider listing on higher exchanges. The aim is always to grow a project not to kill it through paying unnecessarily for listing.

[serjent05]

I can see how hard it is for a small project to be listed on an exchange.  Way back years ago, there are lots of exchanges that offers free listing or have the community to vote for the next cryptocurrency to be listed on their exchange, but it seems somehow that kind of practice is not existing anymore and if ever it existed, the exchange themselves added an extra demand for that winning cryptocurrency to be finally listed on their exchange.  One example is Binance issue with Digibyte. 

It maybe easy for those who collected 10 millions of dollars to belisted on big exchange but how about those who just collected a million or two, for sure they would rather spend the fund for development than paying for bigger exchanges.

Agreed 100%.

Exchange need money and the little project really in need to be listed on a popular exchanges but unfortunately that's not that easy. But there's always this decentralized exchange that's really useful for a small project that usually lacking the fund or not listed on any exchanges at all.
The big exchanges doing so because they want the best crypto to be listed into their exchange site and at the same time gaining profit. most of the popular exchanges will delist coin with low 24h trading volume so there's no point listing a project with low capitalization.

If a project doesn't have enough funds to list on a big exchange they can always list on smaller exchanges first then list on bigger exchanges later when they have the funds.

This is one of the reasons why most of the projects prefer to list on smaller exchanges and some go too the extent of listing on exchanges that allow free listing. The amount the bigger exchange charge are sometimes unimaginable. They also know this, but that stops nothing and it does not change anything.

I don't think that it's a problem, the problem becomes evident if project doesn't raise enough funds to list their tokens on a reputable exchanges. If that is the case then they are either force to list it on some shitty and shady exchanges or delay the listing and wait for more funds to come in. But since there are huge pressures from investors and bounty hunters calling them scam if they don't list on exchange based on what they promise,  they quickly work on some unknown exchanges and the result is a total disaster.

[bitkanu]

we have already talked about this in the past and even a crap exchange site with full manipulation has already charged more than 11 bitcoin as listing fees.
As far as i know, some projects are using the funds that already collected from investors to pay the exchange site.
But this is speculation only consider about exchange site is not transparent about that and about the agreement between exchange site and ICO or IEO itself and we didn't know about that

[jhenfelipe]

Just because you didn't see a thread about it doesn't mean no one is talking about it. The issue is commonly being discussed on telegram groups, when people demand to the team the exchange listings. Those legit projects that haven't had enough funds to list in big exchanges start to list their coin/token in a smaller one. They don't need to use all their funds to list in a big exchange on their start up, the project development is the top priority.

Big exchanges commonly demand for a high listing fee, well because of the higher volume too.
