Listing to CEX didn't cause price growth. Only thing it might have caused was faked volume that CEXes like that bring into table. Imho when it's on DeX, the volume and price as well represent the token value more realistic way.

And you guys are aware that they need to pay for listing? Where do you think that money is taken from? And many CEXes require significant amount of those tokens when listed, so they can play with their fake volume.
