Someone mentioned something in the Lisk price speculation thread that does make some sense... in a way, it may be better if Lisk wasn't listed on an exchange immediately after the ICO. It's psychological, but the fact that a coin is unavailable to purchase tends to make people more interested. So a short delay, perhaps with some marketing or Dapps contests, actually could benefit the coin by the time it hits an exchange.

It's also possible the coin could benefit from just being on Bittrex to begin with. The lure of eventually getting on Polo or larger exchanges might sustain its price level (or increase it), during the coin's initial dump period (happens with all ICOs, it's just a question of when).
