Hey guys,
Question I have is: once an ICO is over and later an ALT coin/token gets listed on exchange, how is the price of the ALT determined?
Is there for example a formula that is used by exchanges based on ICO sale price or is it just pure supply/demand? So in the case of the latter, does the exchange simply list the coin and let the buy/sell orders drive the price?
Also to add to this question, if an ICO decided to give away ALL it's coins/tokens as an airdrop, can it still be listed on exchange? Or that would not be possible?
Look forward to feedback on this.
The price is determined by the demand of the market. The exchange initial price has no meaning.
For the second question you could take a look at Bitcoin cash, Bitcoin gold, Ontology. All have been doing really well on the market. In fact the airdrop of 1000 ONT for subscribers turned into the price of 1 BTC.
