Most of the new crypto coins are traded in small exchanges like Yobit, Stock Exchange, BigONE. Are these tokens safe for use, or are they a scam?
1) Have you purchased any new token which somehow been missing after a time
I never leave my token in an exchange so whether it is a small exchange or a big exchange, I always make sure that I withdraw it after I am done with my transaction. So I never experience any new token gone missing, it stays on my wallet whether it boomed or died down.
2) Have you observed any uncertainty in the price of token
It is normal to see prices of token to fluctuates or just become idle because price depends on the demand and activity of the developer. It is also normal to see strange behavior in the prices of token because small cap token are often subject to pump and dump.
3) The wallet is missing of those particular token and funds are missing
Many projects were hacked and rug pulled especially on the DEFI projects.
4) Does you find wallet of such token on any other platform apart from one which you used to buy
5) Are you able to transfer, if so, do exchanges charge high fee which could lead to a loss ..
Depends one exchanges, you could have done this yourself to verify your question.
These are some of observations related to new tokens which launched and somehow after sometime users go through these issues ..
Scam tokens will become inactive for some time, whether they have the necessary application for their project or not. Most probably they will meet the requirement to look like a legitimate one because they wanted to scam more people, they should be more convincing than the legit one.
