I have 2 questions that bother me

[slashz9]

the first one, is the market maker or taker, that will be affect the price when they do that.
secondly it depends on the coin, how big the fomo and the fundamentals are, especially for short term profit taking, you have to see if the project makes big news when listing.

1. Who determines the token price at launch? seller, buyer and team.
but the team also matters a lot because the initial liquidity comes from the team. The more sales the price will decrease and the more purchases the price will increase.
2. buying early is high risk because at the beginning of the listing there will usually be large-scale sales and prices will drop dramatically. it's best to wait after the price drops drastically and the price stabilizes then buy and hold.

Hi everyone,


1/ Who determines the price of a token at launch?
For example, the SUI token cost a few cents in pre-sale and was listed at almost $1.50 on the Binance listing

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?

Thanks for clarifying.

No one knows but also maybe the dev will have a set price for their token when it listed on exchange. But we don't know if they can sustain that since for sure when it listed on exchange a huge selling pressure might came since for sure those people who already have those tokens and can able to sell will do massive selling since many want to secure their profits at early listing.

For thinking about buying it when selling pressure is done well maybe this is good idea but you also need to know if the dev had plan for continuous development of there project.

1. First, the pre-sale price is determined by the team and several whales invest. No one can really make an absolute price decision at the start of the launch. The price that has been listed is the price that has been agreed upon by several parties
2. I like it like this. High risks attract high returns. But I won't put them in the same basket. I voted in several baskets for those tokens

Well usually the listing price is the same price as the last one of the funding round or only slightly above that. If i remember correctly, than the listing price of Sui was also 0,1$ per coin because this was also the price of the public sale that was held on KuCoin. Sui is a very big project therefore a lot more people wanted to join the public sale then there were spots apparently and therefore there was a big buy pressure right after the listing.
So this means that Sui was listed for 0,1 on KuCoin but shot up to 1,50 or so withing a few seconds or minutes. In hindsight it would have been a good move to try to buy Sui as soon as it gets listed and as fast as possible, because then you would have been able to get it for below 0,50$ i would guess.
It is also possible that a project is dumping below the listing price. So it is hard to tell in advance what to do.

1. The price of a token upon launch is decided by the token's market demand. The first price of a token is typically determined by private or public sales to early investors, as well as through an initial coin offering (ICO) or initial exchange offering (IEO). After the cryptocurrency is launched on an exchange, its price will fluctuate dependent on trading and investing activities. The project's underlying technology, staff, and relationships, as well as larger market movements and attitude, can all have an impact on token demand.

2. Buying a token as soon as it is listed might be dangerous since the price can be unpredictable and prone to unexpected decreases. While some traders and investors may earn from purchasing and selling tokens soon after they are listed, this technique necessitates a high degree of knowledge, competence, and expertise in the crypto market.

Various prices in accordance with the calculation of the developer and market demand, but maybe for the first pre -sales that the developer was carried out by the developers themselves on several exchanges, maybe behind the scenes they offer lower prices to the excange to be marketed on their platforms, but with sales Starting at the same price, like you have items that you will immediately launch to the market, and you will partner with several markets, then you offer your items, to them at the price below the price to be marketed, so that the platform gets also profit from initial sales.

What is clear is the developer determines the price of their goods.

[jacafbiz]

The market determines the price of everything and it is never a good thing to do to FOMO into projects, no matter how hard a token pumps after listing expects the price to correct to the mean it is just a matter of time. If you miss the presale and the IEO, it is never good to FOMO into it unless you are a trader, if you want to trade good for scalping because there will be money to be made, but as an investor better to wait for corrections

There are many factors that determine the price of a token, including:
Total Supply and Circulating Supply, token demand, market competition, cost to generate the token, and other factors such as project or team strength and high publicity.

The project team can set the selling price to investors in the first. Or an agreement can be made with trading exchanges to set the listing price.

It is the project creator or the project developer that determine the price of a token during their crowdfunding while the price on the token launch is also influenced by the project owner, how it carry on after the listing depends on the demand of the token.  Or how a certain group decide to pump the price to create a hype and profit from it.

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?

Often times when a token or coins is listed, there is a hype around the market so we might see a sudden surge then crash after.  So I think it is better to observe and wait for a good timing to buy the newly listed project if you are really dying to participate on the market of the said project.

[Magic-Money]

The question normally surprised me, sometimes the list price really been amazing from the team, which show that the team really raise fund from the SUI Coin, initial coin offering (ICO) Token sale's, that is currently trading in Binance Exchange, show that the team are really in business, with a very high profit returns investment from the ICO.

1, I don't think anyone sets the price at launch, but they do pre-sale and usually the pre-sale price is the base price of the coin, and after entering a market like binance, the offer price determines

2. If you are sure, I don't think there is anything wrong, but here we are required to be careful in making decisions

As mentioned by ither users, the price on listing is determined by the project itself but its potential market price will then be determined by the demand a token will create in the eyes of investors. With regards on buying a coin after being listed, it will depend on the token itself. If it is really promising then ofcourse going at it would be a good idea but if not and only driven by the idea of missing the opportunity, then that would be a gamble already. Also with instances of buying when the price have already increased by huge percentage, you could be the liquidation of those who have bought early. Always manage the risk and gauge the tendencies from doing so.

The price of token is determined by the demand and supply theory, meaning that when SUI was listed, people set the price they want to sell, if many people are willing to buy at that price, then the price stands, the more people are willing to buy at the price, the more people pushes the price up, until it gets to a point, more people are willing to sell and few people are willing to buy then the price starts to go down, until it finds new support again.

This comes from the project owners , usually they do with their own profits in mind. They will dump on the investors so they can cashout at big consolidated amount and then abandon the project, eventually. It is how these newly launched altcoins work. They are scamming, but in a manner in which the investors never understand. I might be proven wrong, but that is what I have been observing for the last few years.

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?

If you think the project is legit, give it a 2year period for observation before you buy in it. Usually the scams/rugpulls/shitcoins get abandoned by then and thus you will keep your money safe.
Sorry to break you bubble mate.

[raidarksword]

First, the market decides the price for such a tokens or coin and of course the hype it brings to the crypto community of what project is about. Of course if listed on Binance, surely it will have a good price from the token sale price like SUI you mentioned. Secondly, never buy token upon listing because it will surely DIP after listing on it. Wait for a better chance and timing in order to give your buy orders and don't look further because market is in correction, it is the right time to buy of your likings.

[sokani]

From my observation, the price at launch is arbitrary set by the project team during the prelaunch time with various marketing channels like ICOs, IDOs or even IEOs and teams test the waters to see how it goes. The projects become immediately sold out if the price is deemed to be too good for the project. Some times the projects don't get sold out too and it can be from negative assessment of what they tend to bring to the market. I've participated in several launchpads and such reactions are made clear there too.

Thank you chief. Like you said the listing price of a token is determined by the team. Then the hype, marketing, buy pressure, use-cases can do the rest. During presales a project can tell you at what price they are selling or at what marketcap and they can also tell you what price or marketcap they are listing. If the team doesn't do well to push the project forward, it may not go beyond the listing price and can take a deep dive into the abyss and never to be seen again.

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?

Well, i have no experience in these things because i don't buy tokens/altcoins, i am an avid Bitcoin enthusiast, so i try as much as possible to buy and hodl only Bitcoin. Anyway from the experiences of others and from what i have read online, it might not be a good idea, these tokens are pump and dump coins and they can only survive on hype alone, quite a lot of them dump once they are listed. Mind you that a whole lot of these tokens were created by their owners to get rich themselves, thus they put no work into the projects, once they get the money they want, they dump it in an exchange and that's the end of the coin, if you're hodling it by then, i'm afraid you'd be on the receiving end of things.

[Adbitco]

First to invest in altcoin you need to buy from pre-sale or IDO, although they might promise to list at $1 but it's not certain they must list at that price. If they are listing in a good exchange like Binance then good but the listing price might be $1.50 but the buying pressure and market strength might lead it to around $2.5 or more, as a good investor whenever you bought at some cent and they got listed all you could do is to sell off some percentage of your holding and keep monitoring the market. If the market increases again then you may sell again but for exchange like binance it may likely see $5 before dumping.

[Desmong]

The liquidity of the token would determines what the price may be . There are other features we can look at that can determine the price of a token which is based on the demand and supply. The more people buy a token the market cap will increase with an increase in liquidity of the coins. The buying rate always pushes the price of the token to the bull.
