Background
Recently, due to the fact that "high FDV + low circulation" tokens have flooded the market and generally performed poorly, the community has become strongly dissatisfied with VC (venture capital) and value coins. This phenomenon has not only aroused controversy between MEME coins and VC/value coins, but has also attracted the attention and participation of investment institutions including a16z and Dragonfly.
Exchange Adjustments: New Strategies for Binance and OKX
In this context, crypto exchanges Binance and OKX have adjusted their listing strategies. On the evening of May 20, Binance released a public recruitment plan for listing projects. The announcement pointed out that tokens with high valuations and low circulation will bring huge selling pressure when they are unlocked in the future, which is not good for ordinary investors and loyal community members of the project. To this end, Binance decided to take the lead in supporting small and medium-sized cryptocurrency projects and encourage high-quality teams to apply for listing, including direct listing, Launchpools and Megadrops. Binance hopes to promote the development of the blockchain ecosystem by supporting small and medium-sized projects with good fundamentals, organic community foundation, sustainable business model and industry responsibility.
