i think it is a 50-50 agreement. the project owner provides some portion of their token to provide liquidity while users are required to deposit the other part for trading. that is why most project runs a competition to draw attention of the platform users in other to trade or buy the token whenever they list in a new exchange.
Also this is part of the reason why most projects have a limited supply of their token. for further exchange listing and promotion.
Topic: Getting Listed On Exchanges (Read 548 times)
Exchanges nowadays improved a lot and provide you with basically a bot that will do the spreads itself. That way you put in bitcoin (if your coin trades with bitcoin) and your own coin into one account and connect that account to what the exchange has given you and you magically have a big volume. Of course this takes a lot of money, many people thinks that fee is not that much for a coin owner but I know a guy who has spent 160 bitcoins for 8 months just to keep his coin listed in some small exchange (idax) and not even binance or whatever.
So, exchanges literally help you have a fake volume which helps them have fake volume and look bigger while also profiting at the same time as well. The real trouble is to get real volume, fake one is quite easy as you can see.

In most cases, exchanges require BTC fee for listing your project. Some shady exchange may accept your project coin/token but that will make your project pump and dump coin. Exchange will pump the coin to sell their bag. Anyway, it's pretty good to go with good exchanges with higher fee than listing your project into shady exchanges.
Agree with you, most major exchanges will require BTC fees to list new projects. And small exchanges will require project tokens so they can pump and dump it later. It all depends on the agreement of the project and the exchange to get the best results
Understanding the agreement is the first thing that comes to place, that is, as someone who want to list his/her project, you will need to understand the terms and conditions attached to the listing, thus knowing if it is in the best interest of the project or not. There are some project teams which starts from smaller exchanges just because they couldn't meet up with the listing fee or listing agreement. In addition, the listing agreement can come with depositing tokens or paying with Bitcoin, ETH, Native token etc hence my reason for saying one will need to understand the underlying agreement and know if it's in the project's best interest.
How does it work when you get your token listed on an exchange. Does the exchange require you give them a large amount of your tokens so they have liquidity? Who gets the money when they're selling them?
I thought it was done through user votes lol. I mean, user voted for the next coin to be listed from a list of coins. And then the exchange contacted those developer team. The team pays them a fee to get listed.But looks like no vote takes place and they only receive money or tokens from the team. Ahhh I guess this is why those shitty exchanges have lots of shit coins listed on their site.
This is important stage in the crypto stage of projects.
It deals with the growth of the project.
A right exchange listing, leads the project to a better future growth.
A wrong exchange listing, begins a downfall trend for the project if care is not taken.

indeed sometimes they are the founders of the exchange where the fee is required to register to the place of exchange, but I think it will be worth it when you register a coin in a trusted exchange and have a high trading volume because if registering at an exchange is not good it will not be as expected .
Bigger exchange site needs a lot of requirements or more fees. I should remind you that sometimes the big exchange site is also wanna offer a free listing event but it is not so easy as people said consider about the coin must be chosen and there were a lot of participants too. A new project needs think for a twice to be registered on big exchange site

Getting listed on exchange platform is the most important stage that makes or mar any crypto currency project.
A wrong exchange listing, would definitely kill the project, while a good exchange listing, keeps the projects hope of excellence alive.
Making a listing on the top exchanges, means massive profits for investors, so as a dev or investor, what do you think is best to list a token ?

I really do not fully understand the OP question. But at least I can understand at least.
To be sure each exchange has its own policies, between the project developer and the exchange. And for tokens or coins that are exchanged there will be conditions. And to go further, maybe the one who can find out is the developer itself. Are there any fees or other conditions.

How many cryptocurrency exchanges are there? Thousand? Or ten thousand? There are simply too many exchanges in existence, and it is not practical to keep a watch on each one of them. Obviously a few of them would be run by the scammers. And another thing to note is that, even if a token get listed in a good exchange, there is no guarantee that it's future potential would be good.
You should read more about blockchain technology and ERC20 token instead. The gist of it depends on each exchange with its own protocol. But most implement 'call' base on the ruleset from ERC20 token or coins with their own chain to place orders and execute buy and sell commands.
A lot of major exchanges will ask that you partner with third-party liquidity providers. Some exchanges will also provide this service directly.
You don't always have to GIVE the liquidity provider your tokens, but you will often need to loan them a large sum, which they'll then use to keep your spreads minimized and ensure all buy/sell orders can be matched quickly.
You'll also need to ensure that you've got NDAs in place and a solid team structure with known executives. Most exchanges wont list without this, since there is too high a risk of insider trading.

No exchange will require you to deposit or trade in large quantities. especially large exchanges. Currently there are many fraudulent exchanges and created just to take over the money of traders. Never use reputable exchanges in the crypto market, you will easily be robbed of money. 
It is so sad that only fundament what cryptocurrencies can offer is a listing on a big exchange. We all of us talking about the technology, but when token is going to listed on exchange, everyone is buying like mad.
A big update can be offered to build a very strong fundamental and i may think if you didn't understand this. Coin was aiming to be listed on a big exchange site due to the possibility to attract more users to build FOMO trend to the coin. That's a side target but the main target was spreading the word about the product.

Each exchange has different listing condition and these conditions are to large extent driven by the reputation of the exchange. Most top tier exchanges receive listing fee in different form with the major one being in their token or btc and Stablecoins. A lot of them do opt in to receiving payment in their token system so as to increase their token's demand, just imaging a project buying thousand dollars worths of your tokens all in the name of using it for fee
I think many top exchanges like binance even other low-rank exchanges take a big amount of listing fees for every pair before start trading. Maybe it's mostly the agreement between that project and exchange. Also, the different exchange has a different condition. I do not think exchange takes a token to increase liquidity. Liquidity came from investor's assets and intention.

all exchange have different settlement before listing a project. While most of them charge fee for listing, there are still some that require certain other conditions. Such as buying the exchange utility token as part of the agreement. There are still some that introduce a community voting system that enable traders to vote a particular coin for listing, in such case, the coin is always listed freely at the end of the voting system. for more details about exchange and their listing fee you can check this out https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/crypto-exchanges-comparison-trade-fee-listing-fee-age-mobile-app-more-5079048
This is a nice reference for the OP. I hope by now, she already got the answers she needs or at least idea how things go in terms of exchange listing. But most of the time, you have to pay for the listing fee and you make sure that the trading activity of your coin is active because they will delist your coin if there is no trading activity for certain period of time. So you have to watch out for that also.
