Rumors on Token Listing Fees — What's True? 🤔

👀 Once again, claims are circulating that Binance charges massive fees—up to 15% of a token’s supply or $50–$100 million—for listings. But several crypto leaders are calling this out.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong chimed in, saying their listings are free. Yet, Andre Cronje quickly called this false, revealing that while Binance charged Fantom zero for listing, Coinbase requested up to $300 million at different times. Similarly, Justin Sun shared that Binance listed TRX for free, but Coinbase demanded $80 million in TRX plus a $250 million BTC deposit.

Yi He from Binance clarified that listing depends solely on passing a vetting process, and no amount of money can bypass that.

As the debate heats up, it's clear that the truth behind listing fees is still up for interpretation. 🧐
