WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR A CRYPTO TOKEN OR COIN TO BE LISTED ON EXCHANGES

in cryptocurrency •  6 years ago 

Hi Guys, Hope you are fine wherever you are in the world.

For those not in the know, a cryptocurrency exchange is a website where you can buy, sell or exchange cryptocurrencies for other digital currency or traditional Fiat currency like US dollars or Euro.

Getting your new crypto coin or token listed on a cryptocurrency exchange is very important for any ICO or ITO. With an air of legitimacy, the exchange listing can often be what makes or breaks the interest, activity, and volume of trading in a newly listed cryptocurrency token or coin.

Being listed on one exchange as opposed to another can mean the difference of a new coin or token getting a lot of new interest, attention, recognition, and positive exposure. This allows it to take off quickly, receive a lot of purchases and trades, then reach terrific new heights.

Or just crashing and burning like so many do…especially those that are never listed on an exchange.

That is why it is of utmost importance that cryptocurrency projects, new and old alike, seek for the highly coveted listing spots on the world’s best and most respected crypto exchanges. A project may have a lot of potential but may not be able to reach that potential due to a lack of exchange listings.

A token being listed on a major crypto-exchange can bring about a lot of response and interest. This can also greatly increase the value and trading volume in a token or coin.

Think of a new stock. Or an IPO. Those listed on a quality exchange like the NYSE, Nasdaq, London, Shanghai or Euronext will receive a lot more attention and publicity than those traded Over the Counter or on Pink Sheets.

Similar to when a crypto coin or token trades among its peers on a major exchange or instead foolishly trades on its own.

Last year alone there were literally hundreds of new crypto coins and tokens that launched into a booming ICO market. However, many of these new coins and tokens failed to get in front of investors or the public as they didn’t get listed on a Crypto Exchange. This can be a catastrophic mistake.

Without being supported by an exchange, buying and selling a crypto asset becomes extremely difficult if not impossible. There is a clear relationship between the success of a cryptocurrency and the quality of exchange it affiliates with and lists on.

A highly respected crypto exchange is very safe and secure.

The positive effect and trust factor of being listed on a popular exchange has been quite substantial. This has allowed many new Crypto coins to achieve substantial new heights. Like any other investment do your own due diligence and do what is right for you, individually, as an investor.

Many Factors to consider when choosing a Crypto Exchange include;

· Security
· Cryptocurrencies supported
· Fees and commissions
· Mode of payment
· Geographic location
· Ease of use
· Trust factor
· Levels of security to dissuade “hacker” and “crooks”
