Talking with a few other exchanges but some of these seem to be smaller exchanges who lie about their volume (they say their exchange trades $1 billion per day and ask for 10BTC listing fee but really have low users and faked volume!)
10BTC is not worth on exchange with bad reputation because they are lying with their trading volume.
It's better if you'll wait until the market will start to be bullish while you continue to develop the project, that way, you can show some improvement and you can bet that price could rise if will be listed in good exchange.
Our applications to bittrex/binance/bigger exchanges were mostly ignored from '17-19.
What do you think are the reason why they ignore you?
