Yes. If it's not a straightforward charge, then the developers proposing the coin have to sell a large amount to them at a huge discount before they'll consider listing it.

Binance is a prime example. For starters you have to buy their currency to vote for your coin. If you get voted in I've heard they ask hundreds of thousands of dollars on top as well.

As for a platform to create a new currency, look at NEM. That'll give you a fixed supply and it's easy to develop on.
