No. Binance says it does not support or recognise any third-party intermediaries, does not accept applications through consultants, advisors or agents, and will disqualify and blacklist a project that applies through a third party. Applications must be filled in by the founder or a key team member, who provides KYC. Bitget says it does not collaborate with external agencies, and Upbit says it allows no intermediaries. Projects that report fake intermediaries get priority review at Binance.
What exchanges say about agents
| Exchange | Position on third parties |
|---|---|
| Binance | No intermediaries recognised; third-party applications disqualified and blacklisted |
| Bitget | Does not collaborate with external agencies for listings |
| Upbit | No external agencies; brokers demanding fees are “unrelated to Upbit” |
| Bithumb | Applications only through its listing system |
| OKX | Asks applicants not to request direct contacts |
What legitimate outside help looks like
Advisors can help you prepare: audits, tokenomics, legal opinions, data room, liquidity planning. The application and all exchange communication should come from your own team. CEX Ready introduces projects to vetted market-making partners for liquidity and readiness; you always apply to exchanges yourself.

Warning signs of a fake agent
Guaranteed listings, payment to a personal wallet, “insider” contacts, deadlines of hours, or a package that includes “volume support”. See listing scams and fake agents and crypto listing agents.
