Red flags in a OKX listing offer
- Red flagA deposit paid to an agent's own wallet before the exchange has approved anything.
- Red flagNo agreement signed by the exchange's own legal entity, only by the agent.
- Red flagA "guaranteed" listing, or a guaranteed CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap page as part of the package.
- Red flag"Volume support" or "chart support": that is wash trading, and firms that sold it have been convicted.
- AskA deadline of hours. Listing slots are not sold like concert tickets.
