After listing, exchanges keep monitoring the market: Kraken says listed tokens are continuously monitored for volume, spread and depth; Coinbase monitors liquidity, depth and volatility during its phased launch (transfer-only, auction, limit-only, full trading); Binance asks listed projects to keep sending progress updates; MEXC’s terms require advance notice of supply or vesting changes and prompt disclosure of incidents. Thin books, sudden supply changes or poor disclosure raise delisting or monitoring-tag risk.
Your post-listing checklist
- Market maker live from the first minute with spread, depth and uptime KPIs
- Daily check of spread and ±2% depth per venue
- Advance notice to exchanges of unlocks or supply changes (MEXC requires it)
- Incident disclosure process
- Regular project updates (Binance asks for weekly or monthly updates)
Coinbase’s phased launch
Transfer-only → auction of at least 10 minutes → limit-only → full trading, with monitoring of liquidity and volatility at each step.
