Centralized Exchanges Demanding 9% Token Supply for Listings Sparks DeFi Alternative Push
馃捀 CEX wants 9% fee
High CEX listing fees prompt DeFi solutions
Centralized exchanges are reportedly charging up to 9% of token supply for listings, prompting recommendations for alternative launch strategies.
Permissionless alternatives gaining traction:
- Launch directly on Base network
- Build liquidity through Aerodrome Finance
- Access Coinbase trading without traditional listing process
This approach offers projects a way to reach major exchange users while avoiding hefty upfront fees. The strategy leverages Base's integration with Coinbase, allowing tokens to become tradeable on the platform through decentralized liquidity rather than centralized approval processes.
Key benefits:
- No percentage-based listing fees
- Faster time to market
- Maintained decentralization
- Direct access to Coinbase users
The recommendation highlights growing friction between traditional CEX models and emerging DeFi infrastructure, as projects seek more cost-effective paths to liquidity.
