How to list token or coin on Kraken?
Listing a token on an exchange is one of the most important stages in the development of a crypto project. The number of investments attracted, the growth of the project’s community, the increase of interest in the token and the market value of the token as a whole will depend on the exchange chosen. Larger exchanges give you the opportunity to present your token to a larger number of potential investors. It’s worth mentioning that most crypto projects tend to list on tier-1, tier-2 exchanges. But the listing process can be a complicated and lengthy process, especially if you go through it alone. There is a high probability of making a mistake, filling out the documents incorrectly and getting rejected after a long wait.
In this article, we’ll break down how token listing on Tier-1 crypto exchange Kraken works. We will compare self-submission for listing and submission through the corporate advisors that help projects list their own tokens. We will also explain how working with Listing.Help can help simplify the listing process and increase the chances of approval.
How the listing process works on Kraken
The listing process includes filling out an application, reviewing the application, listing, and subsequent monitoring. It is important to note that the more customers an exchange has, the more stringent the rules the exchange will impose for listing on its platform. Kraken is a Tier 1 exchange with over 10 million customers. The exchange is ranked top 10 in terms of trading volume. Therefore, the exchange has high quality standards and conducts a rigorous due diligence process before listing. The listing process is as follows
- Application Filling. At this stage, an application form is filled out where you need to provide detailed information about the project, including tokenomics, token utility, project description, documentation and other important metrics.
- Application evaluation. Upon completion of the application, the Listing Committee conducts a thorough evaluation of your project and verifies all of the stated features, including technical information, security verification, address verification, and many other components.
- Listing. After passing all stages of review, the committee makes its decision. Once approved, the asset is added to the exchange’s roadmap and subsequently listed.
- Monitoring. Listing is not the end of the process. After listing, the exchange continues to monitor the project on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to meet the required standards. These reviews may include regulatory analysis, security monitoring, and monitoring of project activity.

When listing on their own, many fail at various stages:
- Choosing an irrelevant exchange. It’s important to choose an exchange that meets your project’s standards. Not every project can achieve listing on a Tier-1 exchange like Kraken. And if you choose another exchange, for example one with a bad reputation or low trading volume, it can have a negative impact on your token placement.
- Listing rejection. Many people fail at the application stage. It is important to consider many factors, detail and include all project features, metrics and documentation. It is important to have a good understanding of how the listing committee works and what factors they look at.
- Working with inexperienced market makers or partners. This can have a negative impact on the project, leading to reputational damage and rejection of the listing application.
This is only a partial list of the potential difficulties you may encounter when listing your token on centralized exchanges. To protect your project from such mishaps and increase the chances of approval, many crypto projects use the services of advisors. This is especially true for a team with no experience in successfully listing their project. Often, newbies have a poor understanding of the legal intricacies and fail at various stages, wasting valuable time.
There are relatively few companies that help with listing on crypto exchanges, so the choices are very limited. If you eliminate companies with high fees and inadequate terms and conditions, the choice is even more limited.
