The cryptocurrency industry includes a wide number of diverse crypto assets and tokens, which puts pressure on centralized exchanges (CEX) in terms of choosing the right coin for listings.
According to data from CoinGecko, the crypto market features roughly 15,000 cryptocurrencies, including coins like Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>), stablecoins like Tether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/tether-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a>), exchange tokens, memecoins and others.
Out of this amount, global exchanges like Binance only list about 2.5% of tokens, as Binance <a href="https://coinranking.com/exchange/-zdvbieRdZ+binance/coins?page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">lists</a> 378 cryptocurrencies on its platform at the time of writing, according to Coinranking data.
People may wonder how best to approach the process of choosing the right cryptocurrency for listing on a CEX. To help exchanges efficiently handle coin listings, the onchain analytics firm Nansen has collaborated with Bitget crypto exchange to issue a new report called “Discovering Token Potential for Trading and Exchange Listing.”
In the report, Bitget and Nansen Research teams employed different approaches to evaluate token potential depending on the token cycle. For early-stage tokens, the firms focused on offchain metrics and traction, while for established tokens, the analysts used onchain metrics.

<a href="https://research.nansen.ai/articles/discovering-token-potential" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Published</a> on July 29, the joint report combines Bitget’s expertise in market dynamics with Nansen’s blockchain analytics, aiming to provide users with a more informed crypto investment experience.
Bitget highlighted its core principles when listing a token, such as considering a token’s growth potential, listing popular assets quickly and offering a comprehensive range of options to users.
The Bitget research team has also set up an automated onchain data monitoring system, which aims to evaluate coins for listing in five key dimensions, including market traction, community verifying, tech innovation, token economics and security.
“Strict control is essential to make sure no high-risk assets are listed,” the report notes, adding that it is crucial to assess risks related to smart contract security, token distribution and others.

Even for already listed tokens, it is important to look at risks like suspended trading and the possibility for the contract issuer to change balances. The report added:
“When it comes to token distribution, projects where the team keeps 50% of the tokens are considered highly centralized and risky. Generally, addresses related to the token creator should not hold more than 20% of the supply.”

According to Ruslan Fakhrutdinov, CEO and founder of a hybrid crypto exchange X10, smaller exchanges face the challenge of not being able to list every token due to the need for sufficient liquidity in each market.
“Therefore, they must strategically select specific tokens to list,” Fakhrutdinov told Cointelegraph, adding that exchanges should avoid listing unreliable tokens and prevent future delistings.
In order to prevent listing unreliable tokens, exchanges should research the token’s team, roadmap and project details, Fakhrutdinov stated, adding:

 “Scam tokens often have little to no information about the people behind the project or vague, unrealistic plans.”
