What is Listing?

A crypto exchange listing is when an exchange initially offers trading pairs for a specific crypto asset. When an asset is listed on a reputable exchange and given a major trading pair such as bitcoin (BTC) or ether (ETH), it signifies trust in the project and its founders. A major exchange listing usually indicates the newly listed asset possesses sufficient liquidity. Crypto exchange listings are similar to when a traditional company's shares are first listed for trading on a specific stock exchange which similarly signifies that the company is trusted by the exchange.
