Exposing Binance's Listing Fees | CJ Hetherington
Date: Podcast: BanklessBankless
Bullish:
- $BASE - Base offers zero listing fees and day-one Coinbase support for meaningful apps, contrasting sharply with Binance's extractive 8% fee structure, making it the preferred ecosystem for founders
- $PREDMKTS - Prediction markets offer simpler user experience than derivatives with no liquidations or funding rates, while providing implicit leverage through time decay as all markets migrate on-chain
- $LIMITLESS - Limitless is building to become the largest exchange with $80M monthly volume, 50% week-one retention, 40,000 traders, and exponential growth focused on Asian markets
Bearish:
- $CEFI - Centralized exchanges enable extractive schemes where founders dump tokens on retail through 'blood money' deals, with Binance charging 8% token listing fees plus $250k cash, creating an unsustainable model that needs fundamental reform
