Exchanges play a crucial role in the digital currency ecosystem. First, they serve as a conduit through which investors can access new tokens to buy or trade. Depending on the size of the exchange, promising projects can gain visibility to new markets.

According to Simon Dedic, Moonrock Capital CEO, a Tier-1 project finally bagged a Binance listing after a year of due diligence. While this is a fairly positive update, Simon flagged the listing fee which is pegged at 15% of the total token supply.

In Dollar terms, the Moonrock Capital CEO said this equates to about $50 to $100 million. He noted that this is unaffordable for projects and might account for the bleeding charts experienced in the market. Considering this trend, the Moonrock Capital CEO said something has to change.

Brian Armstrong swooned in to share his opinion on the trend. He said asset listings on Coinbase are free. He advised Simon to drop a note through its asset hub to see how it can help list the project.
