Getting Listed On Exchanges

[Oilacris]

It is mentioned, that Binance DEX charges a standard flat listing fee of 1,000 BNB, but listing price on Binance exchange is individual. In the same article it is mentioned that Binance charges $250,000 for an alt to be listed for 1 year, as well as charged $2,600,000 other altcoin for being listed. Also you can won voting and get listed for free. So there is no fix price for listing on Binance, everything depends on the projects.

Who would dare to pay that much to get into an exchange that is not so popular now. Binance DEX only made hype at the beginning and now the hype has lost daily volume in Binance DEX only slightly.

With me, Binance DEX seems to be dead. The projects listed there have no volumes. And if someone pays a hefty amount to be listed there, I believe it's a stupid choice.

quite frank most of DEX have no volume and maybe it's because people find it full of inconvenience or any sort of thing but to be listed in binance dex is quite good for the portfolio of that project, you know atleast it got listed in 1 famous exchange despite with low volume.

The scamming and failed ICO's make the dex suffer for low volume since the demand year by year  is decreasing since no one interested to invest and trade with those erc20 token since most of them are scams.

binance dex is different and still for sure the there are so many people trading on that site since the reputation bough to their first exchange can bring up trust and traders.

This is the difference when a certain platform had an another area which focuses on other market will really get that much of attention compared to others which do comes out from nowhere.
Popularity would really be somewhat transferred or being parted on the new service that they are offering which did really happen in Binance DEX yet this one is the current decentralized exchange
that actually gained up some users yet we know on whats the current position of Binance platform speaking of todays thats why its somehow anticipated that people who do make use on the
original platform will consider on using up the other one since they do know that they can trust it up specially to those old users that already know the platform much.

Im not really that surprised that erc20 token based Dexes turns out to be shit after that 2017 bull run yet we have seen on how this being polluted by shit coins and fraud projects which totally
changed up the entire face of ICO or even IEO atm which do result into lost of confidence thats why even legit projects had been greatly affected by this because they cant get such enough
funding since there were no people already trust on throwing up some funds.

Heres some old biggest ICO Scams that bagged millions of usd;

Scam name          Amount of money scammed ($)
Pincoin and iFan           660,000,000
Plexcoin                   15,000,000
Bitcard                   5,000,000
Opair and Ebitz           2,900,000
Benebit                   2,700,000
Bitconnect                   700,000
Confido                   375,000
REcoin and DRC           300,000
Ponzicoin                   250,000
Karbon                   200,000

So its already a no surprise thing on why people or investors now are hesitant.

How does it work when you get your token listed on an exchange. Does the exchange require you give them a large amount of your tokens so they have liquidity? Who gets the money when they're selling them?

So much depends on the exchanges you are dealing with, they want a percentage of your coins besides the listing fee, that is why they are always looking for community support and potential in the market, the exchange usually can pump and dump your coin or token to attract more investors, of course, they always get a profit from doing this, that is why exchange is the second best business in the Crypto industry.

thats alot of fee then if they will ask for coins aside from the fee but why would they do that ? i thought exchange only request a fee , if not fee then they will get some of your coins a form of payment   . exchange isnt also the one that pump and dump coins because they dont have the ability to do that  but the one that can do that are whales  or sometimes coin owners too  . exchange is already a platform where you trade your coins  and they already earn enough from this   .

Of course to make up some extra bucks, they wont rely just only for a few ways for them to make money and if they do need to ask out for other fee then they would do such thing.
Exchange listing fees are quite common and this is normally being demanded mostly on top ranking platforms in the market.Why? since they do know that they would be hyped up
when it gets listed on known exchange which would result to be a positive or beneficial for investors or coin owner itself.I agree that whales do have impact in any angle.Talking back
on topic on listing then this is one of the most priority of most project owners but it will all vary with the demand because there are exchangers that doesnt asked out any fees but
only they do seek out for liquidity or volume/demand before its considered to be listed.You wouldnt need to pay up some fee and you do just need to prove out that your
project is really worth of to be listed.

There is no gainsaying about it. Definitely, the exchnage owns it. They don't even stop there, they also demand for payment in an already established coin, such as BTC or ETH and sometimes, it could be Stablecoin.
If that should happen and you see a coin dump even before bounty hunters are paid, which is if they are involved, you should know that it is the exchange that is selling.

Sometimes don't need to require Any payment if this is an exchange token. This could be a condition from exchange to gain more user. This token can't increase liquidity pool of any exchange, your rewards and you can do whatever you want to do. But for increase volume of exchange and trading fee could be another technique.

if the Token is on the Ethereum or ERC20 platform, tokens do not have to enter the centralized exchange,
because you can sell ERC20 on the Decentralized exchange and only enter smart contracts and you can trade in there

It is so sad that only fundament what cryptocurrencies can offer is a listing on a big exchange. We all of us talking about the technology, but when token is going to listed on exchange, everyone is buying like mad.

[thesmallgod]

all exchange have different settlement before listing a project. While most of them charge fee for listing, there are still some that require certain other conditions. Such as buying the exchange utility token as part of the agreement. There are still some that introduce a community voting system that enable traders to vote a particular coin for listing, in such case, the coin is always listed freely at the end of the voting system. for more details about exchange and their listing fee you can check this out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5079048.0

Each exchange has different listing condition and these conditions are to large extent driven by the reputation of the exchange. Most top tier exchanges receive listing fee in different form with the major one being in their token or btc and Stablecoins. A lot of them do opt in to receiving payment in their token system so as to increase their token's demand, just imaging a project buying thousand dollars worths of your tokens all in the name of using it for fee

This is a nice reference for the OP. I hope by now, she already got the answers she needs or at least idea how things go in terms of exchange listing. But most of the time, you have to pay for the listing fee and you make sure that the trading activity of your coin is active because they will delist your coin if there is no trading activity for certain period of time. So you have to watch out for that also.

indeed can increase the trading volume in the token but you should know that to register coins or tokens in some trusted exchange places such as Binance exchange places have very high difficulties and have very expensive fees. when registering a coin or token at a free exchange, it will not guarantee that the price or volume will go up.

[istiak2277]

I think many top exchanges like binance even other low-rank exchanges take a big amount of listing fees for every pair before start trading. Maybe it's mostly the agreement between that project and exchange. Also, the different exchange has a different condition. I do not think exchange takes a token to increase liquidity. Liquidity came from investor's assets and intention.

Of course, each exchange will have different listing rates, but if it is already a good project, then the fee is negligible. I think only exchanges like Binance, Okex, Huobi have the highest listing fees in this market, and it is very difficult to be listed here. However, if the project is really good, big exchanges will automatically be listed without consulting the project.

A big update can be offered to build a very strong fundamental and i may think if you didn't understand this. Coin was aiming to be listed on a big exchange site due to the possibility to attract more users to build FOMO trend to the coin. That's a side target but the main target was spreading the word about the product.

No exchange will require you to deposit or trade in large quantities. especially large exchanges. Currently there are many fraudulent exchanges and created just to take over the money of traders. Never use reputable exchanges in the crypto market, you will easily be robbed of money.

[DarkDays]

A lot of major exchanges will ask that you partner with third-party liquidity providers. Some exchanges will also provide this service directly.

You don't always have to GIVE the liquidity provider your tokens, but you will often need to loan them a large sum, which they'll then use to keep your spreads minimized and ensure all buy/sell orders can be matched quickly.

You'll also need to ensure that you've got NDAs in place and a solid team structure with known executives. Most exchanges wont list without this, since there is too high a risk of insider trading.

[conkeconke]

You should read more about blockchain technology and ERC20 token instead. The gist of it depends on each exchange with its own protocol. But most implement 'call' base on the ruleset from ERC20 token or coins with their own chain to place orders and execute buy and sell commands.

[Vishnu.Reang]

How many cryptocurrency exchanges are there? Thousand? Or ten thousand? There are simply too many exchanges in existence, and it is not practical to keep a watch on each one of them. Obviously a few of them would be run by the scammers. And another thing to note is that, even if a token get listed in a good exchange, there is no guarantee that it's future potential would be good.

[Pffrt]

In most cases, exchanges require BTC fee for listing your project. Some shady exchange may accept your project coin/token but that will make your project pump and dump coin. Exchange will pump the coin to sell their bag. Anyway, it's pretty good to go with good exchanges with higher fee than listing your project into shady exchanges.

[qomariah95]

I really do not fully understand the OP question. But at least I can understand at least.

To be sure each exchange has its own policies, between the project developer and the exchange. And for tokens or coins that are exchanged there will be conditions. And to go further, maybe the one who can find out is the developer itself. Are there any fees or other conditions.

[hushpupppy]

Getting listed on exchange platform is the most important stage that makes or mar any crypto currency project.
A wrong exchange listing, would definitely kill the project, while a good exchange listing, keeps the projects hope of excellence alive.

Making a listing on the top exchanges, means massive profits for investors, so as a dev or investor, what do you think is best to list a token ?

[TopT3ns]

indeed sometimes they are the founders of the exchange where the fee is required to register to the place of exchange, but I think it will be worth it when you register a coin in a trusted exchange and have a high trading volume because if registering at an exchange is not good it will not be as expected .
