CoinGecko uses Trust Score, a rating algorithm evaluating the legitimacy of an exchange’s trading volume. Trust Score is calculated on a range of metrics such as liquidity, scale of operations, cybersecurity score, and more. Bitvavo’s Trust Score is 8. Only 10% out of more than 500 cryptocurrency platforms have Trust Score 8 or higher.
CoinMarketCap’s Exchange Score is based on the following factors:
- Web Traffic
- Average Liquidity & Volume

Bitvavo’s Exchange Score is 5.6.
Listing requirements
When you apply for a listing on centralized exchanges, the legal team will examine your documentation, which usually includes the certificate of incorporation, legal id of team members, whitepaper, etc. In certain cases (like stable coins), they may require additional documents. You will be asked to provide key information about your token, team, and community. This information should persuade the exchange team that your token will be successful after listing. Take the time to do it well.
The project review consists of several key points:
- Project Introduction: The token issuer should write a short summary of what the project does or fill out a form providing necessary project details and information for review by the exchange’s team.
- Token Overview: This includes chain type (BSC, ERC, TRC, etc.), blockchain explorer, smart contract address, use of token, etc.
- Token Economics and Fundraising: You will be asked to provide information about token distribution, token unlock schedule, or conducted token sales.
- Marketing Strategy and Community: To check the user engagement and quality of business partnerships, the exchange will check community hubs with their main geographies. They check the website, Twitter, and Telegram channels, including the number of followers and likes per post. Projects should also introduce strategic partnerships with expected results.
- Project Team: Introduce your team members with bio descriptions of the Founder/CEO and core members, including Linkedin profile links..
- Listing Plan: Outline your plan for listing the token. If it’s not your debut, you’ll need to provide the exchange team with information on your existing markets and trading volumes on them.
- Market Maker: You must specify a market maker who works with you and provides initial liquidity during the listing.
By addressing these points thoroughly, you increase the probability of the approval and entry into negotiations.

Why Empirica?
Listing is more than just negotiating fees with an exchange and successful listings require active involvement of a market maker. We know how to go through this process smoothly.
An example of a successful token listing that we supported on three exchanges as the only market maker
We are partnering with a web3 gaming startup that introduced a product with solid fundamentals and a clear use case. We supported token debuts on chosen centralized exchanges by providing initial deep liquidity for substantial trades from the first seconds it went public. Our role was to support token debut on three centralized exchanges as the only market maker responsible for listings.
The price increased up to 250% within the first week after listing, and remains stable after the first month. Since the listing, volumes have begun to rise significantly, reflecting a healthy market and good trading conditions (see the Price and Volume chart).
