In my opinion, the team could consider organising a trading competition on the new exchange upon listing, this would not only lead to a substantial increase in the volume, but will also serve the promotional need of the project.
I agree with your position as regards the importance of trading competition to increase the projects presence in the cryptocurrency space and ensure that the volume is substantially increased.
Trading competition has been very popular lately among various projects and Sucrecoin can tap from this popular means of generating trading volumes and project awareness.
