Kraken can add EOS...with 4 trading pairs...but they can't (or won't) add NEM??  WTF?  Huh

You have to pay them. I've suggested doing so. Dash paid $50,000 in development and listing fees to get on there. As the foundation is sitting on god knows how many millions' worth I don't get why they wouldn't spend a piddling amount like this.

It's odious but it would make a vast difference.

That's crazy charging $50,000 just to list on their exchange.  Fair enough, it will increase volume for NEM, but that is a bit arrogant to ask to pay to be listed, as they will be making money from trading fees anyway.  I haven't seen anything official on their site that states you have to pay $50K, or what the requirements criteria is in order to be listed.
Actually, it is smart, developers of shitcoins have lots of money now and fastest way to increase value of shitcoin is to add it to exchange. So it is win-win for developers and exchanges.

I suppose 50K is a small dip in the funds compared to the $5mio and $40mio that will be spent on Blockchain centres and marketing.  It would be a good investment if it increases awareness and volume.  Perhaps the NEM foundation prefers slower organic growth, who knows. Maybe we could have a vote like Dash did - https://www.dashcentral.org/p/bsdev-general-201702
