Crypto exchange Bybit has denied claims that it charges $1.4 million to list a token on its platform, following allegations made by a social media user with over 100,000 followers.
On April 14, X user “silverfang88” accused the exchange of demanding millions from projects in listing fees. The user also alleged that Bybit used key opinion leaders (KOLs) to silence students who were given trial contracts through the platform’s Campus Ambassador program.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou denied the allegations, asking the social media user to provide evidence backing the claims. Zhou added that the crypto space has been chaotic because of rumors posted without evidence. In a statement sent to Cointelegraph, a Bybit representative clarified the requirements for listing on the crypto exchange.
According to Bybit, the exchange requires three things from projects: a promotion budget, a security deposit and an evaluation process.
Bybit said it asks for a deposit of $200,000–$300,000 in stablecoins to ensure promotional goals are met. Penalties may apply if the targets are not reached.
Apart from the promotional funds, the exchange said its listing process includes form submissions, internal voting, research and a listing review meeting.
