Binance founderChangpeng "CZ" Zhao has waded into the exchange’s listing fee controversy, which is causing a stir in the online cryptocurrency space. In apost to state his opinion, CZ insisted on market freedom and project accountability.

CZ sends crucial message to critics

For clarity, following U.Today’s report on the comments by a lead developer at Coinbase, Jesse Pollack, criticizing Binance, Zhao felt the need to break his silence. Pollack had stated that Binance’s model was expensive and extractive, calling on theexchange to make listing cost 0%. He considers Coinbase’s approach better and a contribution to supporting projects in the crypto space.

However, CZ maintains that in a decentralized space, debates about listing fees, airdrop requirements and exchange listing policies are unnecessary. He argued that strong crypto projects do not need to pay exchanges to be listed; rather, they attract listing due to their trading volume and user count.

Unpopular opinion post:On Listing "Fees" (saw this a few times recently)1. If you are a project complaining about listing airdrops or "fees" (to users),Don't pay it.If your project is strong, exchanges will race to list your coin.If you have to beg an exchange to list,… https://t.co/DtEMb4RdS0

This suggests that every exchange is free to choose its own business model. Generally, the adapted model is what works for the exchange concerned. Zhao emphasized that if a project has to beg an exchange to get listed, it implies that it lacks real demand among users and is not strong enough.

"If your project is strong, exchanges will race to list your coin. If you have to beg an exchange to list, then... You need to ask yourself why, and who is providing value to whom," he stated.

CZ advised developers to stop blaming Binance and focus on building good projects that exchanges compete to list for free.

He also charged other exchanges to stop attacking competitors’ business models. CZ noted that the only way to compete in a decentralized industry is to offer better services to users.

"Make your own listing fees 0, and be happy. In fact, why not set all your fees to 0? Including trading fees?" he asked.

Major advice for exchanges

The Binance founder mentionedPancakeSwap as an example of a platform with no listing fees but with strong trading volume. This shows that different models work in the decentralized crypto space.

CZ explained that exchanges prioritize and balance inclusivity, safety and profitability. Hence, an exchange could decide to "list everything" only to discover that most are fraudulent scam projects or outright failures.

An exchange could decide to charge listing fees as a way to make revenue or conduct selective listing with airdrops or security deposits. Zhao said this is done to protect users and ensure only genuine and serious projects make it to the exchange.

With more than 100 billionSHIB tokens moving in a single day, Shiba Inu has seen a significant on-chain shift, resulting in a 26% increase in exchange netflows. The abrupt increase highlights a significant change in market activity, which reflects growing investor caution or repositioning, as well as the diminishing supply of SHIB on exchanges.

SHIB outflows

The exchange netflow chart illustrates how large this spike was. A net inflow of 23.1 billion SHIB was recorded on Sept. 30, following weeks of comparatively low flows. This was a dramatic change from previous negative readings. This implies that sizable amounts of SHIB were sent to exchanges, perhaps in anticipation of potential short-term volatility or opportunities for profit-taking.

The overall trend, however, indicates that exchange reserves are steadily declining in spite of the inflow, which means that there are fewer tokens available on centralized trading platforms than there were in previous months. On the daily chart,SHIB is still trapped in a narrowing symmetrical triangle pattern, hovering around 0.0000117 from a price action perspective.

Shiba Inu not yet bullish

Despite sellers' repeated attempts to test support in the $0.0000110-$0.0000115 range, buyers have thus far avoided a malfunction. The $0.0000128-$0.0000136 zone continues to have strong overhead resistance, which is supported by significant moving averages, such as the 100-day and 200-day EMAs. However, there is not much evidence of bullish conviction in volume trends.

The RSI, which is located between 39 and 45, indicates waning momentum and the lack of trading activity. The market may dip lower toward the $0.0000100 support area unlessSHIB can recover its moving averages with more robust capital inflows.

On-chain, the story of thinning supply has two sides. The recent large inflow indicates that some investors are getting ready for short-term selling, even though fewer tokens on exchanges typically indicate stronger long-term holder conviction.

Imagine that Shiba Inu, that coin that started as a meme, is now showing a figure on the chart that makes analysts' eyes sparkle: an "inverted head and shoulders". 🤯 This, in financial terms, is a super powerful signal that a massive rise is coming. An analyst, Javon Marks, is predicting that if everything goes well, we could see a 540% increase, bringing SHIB to a price of $0.000081. Insane!
But, why so much optimism? 🤔 Well, here’s the scoop (the good one, the analysis):
