A friend asked me what will happen if all IEO projects can use binance, meaning if they have the money, either legit or scam, here is your answer
Do not forget that even if all new projects have the money to list on binance they can be turned down if the project is not good enough, top exchanges have their asses to cover, reputations at stake here, binance among other top exchanges loves money, everyone does but that's not the end for all top exchanges, once they make a mistake of listing and hyping a scam project they are done for, remember that.
it's always about money and reputations, crypto space is so delicate, reputations get ruined fast if care is not taken
You can be right that binance helps projects with hypes, and that binance helps investors and traders by making sure that they bring only legit true projects to their platform.
But it is not always like that; every top exchange has that shit project that bought his way through to listing
And you need to take note, that either good or bad; either top exchange or not, a bad project immense dump cannot be avoided; because when the hype is over and the products advertised is missing, demands drive drop and so the price and value of the token
Yes, you are right. Whether a coin lists on a top exchange or not, the price no matter how much it surges, it will still plummet. However, if a coin should list on top exchanges, even if there is impending damage awaiting it, it can still be averted and will be protected by the reputation of the exchange, if the team of such project is also ready to back it up with more listings.
Also, listing on top exchanges give the project more privilege of listing on other top exchanges, than going fro low to top. In fact. it will be easier.
