Definition ∞ Exchange listing requirements are the conditions digital assets must meet to be traded on a platform. These are the specific criteria established by cryptocurrency exchanges that a digital asset must satisfy before it can be made available for trading to their users. Such requirements typically cover aspects like project legitimacy, technological robustness, market capitalization, liquidity, community support, and compliance with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations. Meeting these conditions helps exchanges maintain a credible and secure trading environment.
Context ∞ News often reports on new token listings, with discussions frequently centering on the rigor of an exchange’s listing requirements and their impact on market perception. The opaque nature of some listing processes has been a point of contention, leading to calls for greater transparency from exchanges. Future trends may involve more standardized and publicly accessible listing criteria, particularly as regulatory oversight of digital asset exchanges increases globally.
