Cryptocurrency listings have outperformed the average of traditional stock listings, despite recent community criticism regarding the manipulation potential of token listings on centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n

Token listing procedures on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges (CEXs) drew significant controversy after Changpeng \u201cCZ\u201d Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, called the process flawed after disappointing performances of some token listings.<\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, crypto exchanges have outperformed traditional stock exchanges in terms of listings with positive returns on investment (ROI) and average ROI, according to an April 3 CoinMarketCap report shared exclusively with Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n

Over the past 180 days, crypto exchange listings had an average return of over 80%, outperforming the largest traditional stock indexes such as the Nasdaq and Dow Jones, as well as Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) and Ether (ETH<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The 80% return refers to the average performance of all listed tokens by the seven major exchanges, including Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, OKX, Bitget, Gate and KuCoin.<\/p>\n

Moreover, 68% of crypto exchange listings boasted a positive ROI, outperforming the New York Stock Exchange\u2019s (NYSE) 54% and the Nasdaq\u2019s 51%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis data suggests that crypto exchanges have made progress in refining their listing,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrencies listed on CEXs generally see high demand from investors<\/a> as the exchanges provide significant new liquidity that can boost the coins\u2019 price performances after listing.<\/p>\n

Token-listing criteria on CEXs started garnering attention in November 2024, after Tron founder Justin Sun claimed that Coinbase allegedly asked for $330<\/a> million in total fees to list Tron (TRX<\/a>), a surprising allegation since Coinbase claims to charge no fees for listing new cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Token listing performance still depends on broader market conditions: Binance<\/h2>\n

Recent investor disappointment with some token listings may stem from historic profit expectations due to the significant upside of numerous CEX-listed tokens.<\/p>\n

Still, the returns of a cryptocurrency after listing depend on the wider market appetite, a Binance spokesperson told Cointelegraph, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cOutcomes can vary depending on broader market conditions. As the industry matures, we\u2019re seeing reduced volatility compared to earlier cycles \u2014 a shift that reflects greater stability and long-term sustainability in the crypto market.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCrypto investors\u2019 expectations for new listings to perform well are understandable and often shaped by the historic success\u201d of CEX listings, added the spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Binance, the world\u2019s largest crypto exchange, listed 77 cryptocurrencies throughout 2023 and 2024, with a 0% delisting rate.<\/p>\n

Binance announced a<\/a> community voting mechanism for token listings on March 9, to make the listing process more decentralized.<\/p>\n
