Listing on exchanges is affecting projects too

[Kemarit]

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

No one is talking about it because it's not our concern. I mean it's the project responsibility, that's why we have to check in their roadmap as to what exchanges they are going to supposedly list their exchange and we follow up on them as to what are the status. I'm sure they pretty know how much money is going to be involved listing their tokens to at least a mid tier exchanges.

As for exchanges demanding 8 BTC, it's a business, you are using their platform and their names to make your product a success so I don't see anything wrong with that. If a product lack the needed funds you can't blame exchanges for that.

Yes, and if the project does not have enough money to list, then the project may be stopped because the community will think they are scammer. A lot of projects in 2018 and 2019 died because of lack of funding

Yes, we should be talking about the hefty price that a start-up project has to pay inorder to be listed in a good exchange. Actually, exchanges are always offering projects an easy chance to get listed but the fees can really be insurmountable that is why there had been many projects that failed to get past the exchange listing and just died a natural death. Maybe it is time that exchanges should also realize to make their fees reasonable and this has become a big milking cow for them. I am just not sure how we can help this problem, as just ordinary participants in the cryptocurrency marketplace.

Everyone invests in projects because they want to get profits after that project's tokens listed on exchanges. Last listed on the exchange it is always the wish of the investor. Requests listed on the list always prioritised, which also affects the development of projects.

8 BTC is reasonable if the exchange is very large and already has enough users,
but not all of them pay 8 BTC, I've seen some exchanges have low costs for listings, for example stex, and of course there are quality and quality prices, stex is not like binance, but at least it could be an alternative with not quite expensive cost.

Binance would probably ask for more than a million dollars to be listed there. Even small exchanges charge HUGE amounts of money. Cryptopia charged 10 BTC when they where running. That's when BTC was at 14k btw.. That's $140k.. That's insane.

Decentralized exchanges is the future. That's where I'm putting my money. Sick and tired of exchange hacks (Never was a victim, thank god), exchange scandals, (Blocknet and Binance, holy shit what a shitfest). KYC enforcement, frozen wallets, etc. etc...

Sadly most of the DEX solutions we have right now, sucks, and lacks liquidity and volume. Hopefully Stakenet's Lightning DEX, will solve all of this. Do your own research, but their advantages is:

NO KYC
NO registration
Instant Trading
Virtually 0 Fees
100% Anonymity
100% Security

Everything a centralized exchange offers, just with added security.

My hate towards Binance is enourmous, they are a bunch of crooks, fooling everyone. Their "Binance DEX" is NOT a DEX at all. When you've got a DEX where all the nodes is owned by the same person (Binance) it's NOT a DEX.

One thing is for sure, these exchanges demanding TONS of money isn't getting my business.

It was far harder in the past for coins to get listed on exchanges. The exchanges at least 3 years ago are very limited. Right now, projects could easily shop for a cheaper exchange to have their coins listed. There are a lot of lesser known exchanges right now with decent volume. Paying for an exchange listing should be a part of their plan if they want their coins to be accessible publicly. They cannot avoid that. A legit project don't take this as a problem. Only those who have no clear plans for the future will have a problem getting listed on an exchange simply because of listing fee.

I agree that this is the reason why so many new coins are not going for a big exchange, they prefer to list on a second-grade exchange that charges a minimal fee, but if you have a coin that has a good concept, they might let you in with a big discount, and some big exchanges employ a voting requirements plus a small fee to get in.

[jorenpo]

new project often listed on a big exchange. i think project need to focus on their roadmap first than the listing on an exchange. Good project doesn't need a lot of exchange. one good exchange is enough.

[Bitbtc8]

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

Are you saying that exchanges that have too little trading volume will get better trading volume if or when market start recovering? damn! then there is many other things i still don't know about crypto yet even though ive been around for a while now

[BillGoldberg]

I agree, it's crazy how these exchanges are charging projects for them to get listed. It can become a blocker for them especially if they don't have the funds yet to get in, anyways the amount you need to pay is nuts. It is true that one good exchange for a good project will be enough and what's important is how the coin will deliver to what they promised in the roadmap.

I also saw the news about Binance charging someone for $300,000 and 3% of their tokens.

Why can't you see the big picture? exchanges are set up to make profit and to me if I were to be running an exchange I will demand more than that from these developers, When a project need just $5 million and decided to raise $30 million and suck all the demand from the market and list on one exchange and leave the investors to wait and hope for just pump and dump without hope of adding  value to their platform

They'll start work soon.

If a project doesn't even have 8 BTC to ensure the liquidity of its token, how can we be sure it has enough money to pay its developers?

8 BTC isn't even 2 years salary for a blockchain developer...

[Ferris419]

No, I don't agree with you and in my view, your opinion is not right at all. The good project always makes up a good exchange listing. There are plenty of exchanges are life in the crypto market. From average to best, every kind of exchange we have. If you have don't money then why you are running a project? If you have a unique idea for the crypto world then go for crowdfunding or if you are a self-funded project then increase your self-fund to run a project smoothly. Why you only see the Binance? You may go for another top exchange to list your token! There has lots of solution if you want to.

I think no one is talking about it because it will have little or no effect neither will it make the exchange reduce the listing fee. However, irrespective of the fact I like upcoming projects to list on a good exhange, but am not a party to paying huge fees for first listing in any exchange. That is, i think it's better to list on a normal exchange with good liquidity first, build up the platform then consider listing on other exchanges, in this way the team won't be caught up with lack of funds to run the platform.

It’s really a sad thing ! These standard has been set during the time that things were rosy in the crypto space and now things hasn’t be good enough for new projects to raise enough funds for their project ! Something had to be done to this so new projects can have equal opportunity to develop their projects and list on a good exchange !

We all know that most centralized exchanges with huge user base usually demand outrageous amounts from projects for listing their coin or token. There is a saying that "cut your coat according to your size", hence if the funds raised during token sale is not so huge, there is no need to first list on exchanges demanding gigantic amounts. There are other decent exchanges with good trading volume and other cool features having reduced listing fee. Projects which didn't raise very big amounts can begin with such exchanges with fair listing fees.

Decentralized exchange is the way to go for a new project but doesn't guarantee a long lasting liquidity as most of people don't want to trade there because complicated in the eyes of people who are not tech savvy. Being listed on popular exchange also could skyrocket the liquidity of a token.

We know yahoo62278 is one of the best bounty manager, managed by yahoo62278, a project still doesn't manage any exchange after 2 years. For start up a project 8 BTC is huge money. Another cost is development, which is also good problem for new project.
