It's always for the best interest of the project if they use top exchanges to raise fund, there will be better results
1. Enough money for future developments
2. High trading volumes and enough liquidity
3. Exposure to more investors and whales and even traders
what more can a project team want?
This is why I've Zero my mind that serious projects will always aim for top exchanges, the results are already clear as crystal
But somehow some projects, even at the most reputated exchange in the globe, would still dry out for few months. Although we can safely say and eliminate the fact that the project is a scam.
Sometimes fees are also considered, that's why some fail to get listed at the tops.
Not sure how much do they spend in listing their coins though.
