Token listing is the process of adding new tokens to the trading platforms of cryptocurrency exchanges. Listing in this case means listing the token as available for trading on an exchange. This process can be carried out on both centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges. The listing process includes consideration of the token's technical aspects, security, liquidity, and compliance with exchange rules and requirements and local laws.
The token listing is the key step for cryptocurrency companies looking to expand their presence in the cryptocurrency market, as this process provides access to a wide audience of investors.
However, traders may not be ready to immediately buy and sell this token due to its low liquidity, which can create difficulties. In such a case, market makers may be invited by the exchange or the token issuer itself to provide liquidity to the new token. The market makers provide buy and sell quotes, thus creating a stable market balance for this token. The main objective is to provide a transaction opportunity for traders by offering to buy and sell an asset at current market prices. The market makers act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers, creating a more efficient market.
Preparation of Legal Opinion
Before entering the exchange, it is necessary to verify that the token functionality complies with the applicable regulation. Recently, the media has repeatedly reported news about the SEC's next lawsuits against cryptocurrency projects that have gone public. Such projects issue tokens that meet all or almost all of the characteristics of securities, but do not possess the necessary permits and licenses. Some of these cases have already been adjudicated, and projects had not only to return the funding raised, but also pay significant fines.
Before issuing tokens, a company needs to obtain a legal opinion. This opinion, provided by a qualified attorney, evaluates the legal status of the token (Token Legal Opinion) and justifies its functionality. Protecting the project from litigation risks becomes a priority, given the complexity of litigation and the severity of penalties for securities law violations.
Our company provides a thorough analysis of the legal status of the token, verifying regulatory compliance and providing a detailed report that will convince trading platforms of the legality of your project. Our lawyers also assess the risks associated with the token and provide recommendations to minimize those risks.
