How to Get Listed in 2018: Humaniq Hints

Humaniq carried out a comprehensive study of more than 200 crypto exchanges analyzing their traffic, trading volume, and growth rates. The company shared the insights and gave some hints for choosing the crypto exchange for a listing. The full text of the article is here.

Is the exchange market fading?

The cryptocurrency market has changed a lot since Humaniq held its ICO in April 2017 - more than a year ago now. The overall capitalization of the market has grown tremendously since then, reaching as much as $800 billion in January of this year.

There’s no rise without a fall, however, as the rest of 2018 has seen a protracted bear market, with the total capitalization struggling to hold at $300 billion.

The surprising thing is that this hasn’t really affected the ICO market, as the amount of funding collected in ICOs for the first six months of 2018 is double that of 2017. Hundreds of projects have held their ICOs since ours, with more than half of them dying within a few months. However, even if we don’t take the failed ones into account, there are still more than a thousand tokens all looking for a home in the various exchanges.

Problems

Huge fees

Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, the fee they requested was disproportionate to the benefit that the exchange offered. Not all of them are created equal, and the listing fees are mostly arbitrary: some low-volume exchanges asked for more money than statistically-superior competitors.

Long latency period

Because of high demand, the exchanges put the projects on a waiting list that can be quite long so you can wait for as long as 1-3 months for your turn. The process of negotiations will also take some time, as well as the technical process of embedding a crypto coin into trading operations.

Things are out of control

In 2017-2018, crypto exchanges were not lucky enough. Ones were closed while others were arrested, DDoS-attacked or robbed. This summer, Colombian banks have closed all the accounts of South American cryptocurrency exchange Buda.com without warning or explanation, Bitfinex bounces back after a DDoS attack, and Coincheck lost $400m after hackers’ unauthorized access.

Age issues

Crypto exchange is a very young business. The majority of exchanges are not older than three years (or even younger) and they are still getting established, which is obviously not easy in the crypto field. So the industry has a lot of downscale platforms where a listing is meaningless where it is not worthwhile to spend your efforts and fees. Moreover, there are scam projects and projects with crafty managers who can just grab your fees and disappear.

Humaniq hints

Do your research

The most important lesson we learned was: you need to research the crypto exchange market in the same way that you study your potential audience and look for opportunities to integrate them in the optimal and cost-effective way.

We used CoinMarketCap’s 24-hour volume rankings to estimate the parameters. Subsequently, we developed four criteria with which to evaluate an exchange: the number of visitors in the last month, recent visitor growth dynamics, countries where the exchange is popular, and trade volume.

Explore the countries

What other recommendations can we give to those choosing an exchange for listing? Firstly, you should analyze the visitor audience: usually, it can say a lot about the quality and horizons of a platform. For instance, we monitor the dominance of certain citizenships in the top visitor lists. Generally, it means that the exchange was founded in that country. Then, we explore the legislation towards the crypto market in the country and the risk level to avoid areas where exchanges closure or any fraud is only a matter of time.

Search for Stable

Our advice is to focus on exchanges with the option to withdraw in USDT. It’s a signal that a site supporting stable coin will allow the trade of large amounts of tokens (and have a much stronger market position, financial prospects, and even legal defense sometimes).

Don’t hesitate to de-list

If you see one of the exchanges your coin is traded on becoming more and more insecure, don’t wait for a tragedy to happen - delist your token. It’s not only the support of your token holders but also your public image that is at risk, which in the crypto world means everything.

What about traders?

How can the exchanges with growing traffic help a trader? Firstly, trying to secure market share, they offer the user options and opportunities that are not available on other exchanges. e.g., localization, unique or easy-to-use features, simpler verification or withdrawal, more safety options, and lower commissions.

Secondly, if a trader is already registered on a particular exchange and has an investment fund there, the listing of a new high-quality coin is an opportunity to diversify the portfolio and to get a new trading tool.

I don't get the sense about those fake clicks? No video in the world will have 1.2 million clicks with just a few comments.

Looks like a scam!
