Seeing several CEX events that encourage investors to participate in deposit to list events makes me wonder what's in it for the exchanges and how they manage to end up not listing the tokens in some instances. How would you explain what deposit to list entails to a novice? And would you encourage a novice to participate in these events?
It is just for the money, yeah because that is their ultimate intention nothing else so they will try to enter many projects as they can and the listing depends on their criteria which varies from one to another exchange respectively but they are doing it so don't want to miss out any projects that people are interested to risk their money.
Never treat the exchanges as investment platform, just use it for what they are supposed to to either you are rookie or experienced which means the chance for you to lose your money is less.
