⚠️ Beware of Fake Listing Scams | Industry Influencers Say There Are No Shortcuts

A founder of a major exchange recently issued a stern statement: anyone claiming they can help you get listed is a scammer. There is no room for compromise in this statement.

He emphasized very clearly — there are no intermediaries, no so-called special channels, and definitely no one who can go through the back door. Want to get listed? There is only one legitimate way.

This rhetoric points to a harsh reality: in the crypto ecosystem, there are scammers everywhere claiming to "know senior exchange executives." They sell false promises to entrepreneurs and project teams, then disappear after charging fees. Such scams happen every year, with victims losing large sums.

Industry insiders point out that anyone boasting about having "special channels" is almost certainly fishing for victims. The listing process at legitimate exchanges is fully transparent, with open review standards, and will not make exceptions based on a middleman's word.

For project teams, the lesson is simple: do not trust promises that sell internal relationships as commodities. A genuine listing depends on the project's own strength and understanding of the exchange's review standards.
