Does anyone know how long the process is to go from applying to launching on an exchange to actually being listed on the exchange? Thanks.
It depends on the exchange. Some exchanges list for free, most of the centralized exchanges charge a fee. Fees generally range from 1-10 BTC, Binance can be 1 million USD + and a % of team tokens. Binance can actually hurt your price in the long run because they are trading coins that don't really exist. If people withdrew all of their BTC from exchanges all of the exchanges would have to shut down because they are trading 100x + the amount of real Bitcoin that exist. Take IOTA for example, Binance withdrawals are disabled because there are not enough funds to cover withdrawals. Regulatory compliant exchanges take 1-3 months to list because they have to investigate the crypto listing and there are legal documents involved.
