Come on.
Anyone that’s tried to list with you guys know this is just creative marketing on technicalities.
Claim: We don’t make money from listings” ≠ “listings are free.”
Binance’s own notice says projects must allocate tokens for Launchpool/HODLer/airdrop-style “marketing campaigns.” Those tokens don’t go to Binance’s P&L, but they are a real cost to the project (dilution and opportunity cost) and are often significant percentages of supply. Binance’s “Important Notice on Listing Information & Requirements” explicitly highlights these programs as part of the path to a spot listing.
Claim:
Refundable security deposits are still capital at risk (and tied up for 1–2 years).
Truth:
After this week’s controversy, Binance reiterated it requires a cash or token security deposit, “typically refundable” on a 1–2 year timeline and subject to meeting commitments. Even if refunded, this is effectively an interest-free loan and a gating requirement—i.e., a cost with counterparty and performance risk
Hidden expenses:
Required “marketing fees” in practice = token allocations + campaign costs.
Launchpool/HODLer/airdrop campaigns require the project to supply the rewards. Example: Binance materials and community posts regularly describe projects allocating portions of total supply to Launchpool; one recent example cites 2.5% of total supply allocated as Launchpool rewards. That’s a large, mandatory marketing budget in tokens.
Hidden expense:Minimum liquidity / market-making is commonly expected (and expensive) and determined by @binance what those minimums are.
Top-tier exchange listings typically require proven liquidity. Industry guides (including from market makers themselves) note that exchanges often require a market-maker agreement before or at listing, with monthly retainers and inventory on both sides of the book. Public ranges discussed include setup fees and five-figure to six-figure monthly retainers, plus capital commitments—i.e., ongoing “liquidity fees.”
Barrier to entry:
Gatekeeping by volume/liquidity is explicit.
Binance routinely delists pairs for “poor liquidity and trading volume.” That means access is both granted and maintained based on throughput, which pressures projects to keep paying for liquidity support and campaigns to satisfy those thresholds.
False claims of Alpha “no listing fees” - it still isn’t cost-free and is a pay to play scheme.
- Binance’s Alpha track may not charge a cash listing fee, but it still relies on airdrops, booster programs, and TGEs—again funded by the project’s token supply—and ultimately filters projects to Futures/Spot if they meet growth standards. Binance’s own post claims “217 projects joined Alpha; 103 listed on Futures; 36 on Spot,” underscoring that progression is gated and contingent on hitting the exchange’s KPIs.
Oh and let’s not forget how they own @CoinMarketCap and gatekeep rankings of coins not listed on their exchange. Multiple top 200 coins have lower market cap and volume than coins within their top 200. Their excuse? “It’s a custom ranking system”
