When listing tokens on an exchange, one issue to be aware of: if the exchange offers futures or options trading, your control over the token's valuation will be significantly reduced. Why? Because the exchange may manipulate prices through the derivatives market to profit. Their futures and options trading operations are like a casino, with the real goal of extracting liquidity from the market—and your tokens become their tool. In this model, the exchange's interests always take precedence over the project team. When choosing a platform to list on, you need to carefully evaluate these risk factors.

Traders make money by exploiting price differences, while retail investors end up as the little guys... I've seen this trick too many times.

Exchanges with futures trading require caution. These people are just using your coins as chips to play with; profits always belong to them. The project team? Hehe.

Damn, that's why my coins started to plummet as soon as I opened futures on that exchange. So that's the trick.

I should have known earlier. Are you just saying this now? The major exchanges in the crypto world have already been doing this, and we're still naively chasing after the highs and lows.

Uh... that's why I never touch exchanges with derivatives. Pure spot trading is the foundation.

You have to be careful with futures on exchanges; price manipulation is really hard to prevent. Basically, project teams are just being used as cash cows.

Exchanges with derivatives are starting to get exciting, but this is nothing new; we've long been warned to stay alert.

Haha, that's why I always said not to believe the nonsense from those big exchanges.

Really, I've seen it all along. Exchanges are just profiting from derivatives to fleece retail investors. The project teams truly deserve to be exploited.

Damn, now I understand. No wonder the prices started fluctuating strangely after launching the derivatives exchange.
