The crypto community is buzzing with discussions around listing fees on major centralized exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. While Coinbase claims it does not charge for listings, statements from industry insiders—including founders of prominent projects like Fantom and TRON—have challenged this notion. Meanwhile, Binance’s transparency in its listing policy is earning positive attention, highlighting the ongoing rivalry between centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized alternatives.

<h2 id="controversy-over-high-listing-fees-on-major-exchanges">Controversy Over High Listing Fees on Major Exchanges</h2> 
A recent debate over listing fees reignited when a venture capitalist revealed details of a high-profile listing proposal. Allegedly, a centralized exchange requested 15% of a project’s total token supply, amounting to roughly $100 million. The venture capitalist argued that such a high demand is unattainable for many projects and often leads to post-listing declines.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that listings are free on Coinbase, and projects can apply for listing without fees. However, Fantom founder Andre Cronje contested this, claiming that Coinbase had previously asked Fantom for payments ranging from $30 million to $300 million. Cronje highlighted the stark contrast in experience with Binance, which he says did not request any listing fee from Fantom. 
Backing Cronje’s claim, TRON founder Justin Sun added that Coinbase demanded a substantial amount of TRX tokens and a $250 million BTC deposit to list TRON. Sun praised Binance for a more transparent and project-friendly approach, stating that Binance did not request fees from TRON.

<h2 id="binance-s-response-transparency-and-rigorous-standards">Binance’s Response: Transparency and Rigorous Standards</h2> 
In response to the mounting discussion, Binance co-founder and chief customer service officer He Yi clarified Binance’s listing process. Yi emphasized that Binance’s listing criteria are stringent and not influenced by payments or token allocations. She also noted that rumors around listing fees were misleading, attributing the rise in speculation to competitive dynamics in the industry. 
<h2 id="the-impact-of-listing-fees-on-crypto-projects">The Impact of Listing Fees on Crypto Projects</h2> 
High listing fees have become a crucial issue for crypto projects, as they pose significant financial challenges, especially for emerging projects. Analysts suggest that exorbitant listing costs, along with strict requirements from centralized exchanges, may stifle growth potential and reinforce centralized dominance in the crypto ecosystem. 
This ongoing debate has also raised concerns over the transparency of centralized exchanges and prompted a renewed interest in decentralized exchanges (DEXs). DEXs typically offer more accessible listing opportunities with lower financial burdens, making them increasingly popular among developers and investors. Many industry players predict that DEXs will continue to gain traction as the preferred platform for listing new projects.
