IOSG Founding Partner: The median all-in listing cost for project teams on top-tier trading platforms is approximately $8 million.
BlockBeats News, June 19 — IOSG founding partner Jocy posted that tokens are actually a form of liability, and project teams "prefer not to issue if they can avoid it, and delay issuance if possible."
According to internal observations by IOSG, during the 2024 to 2026 cycle, the median total token listing cost borne by project teams on top-tier trading platforms is approximately $8 million, including collateral and other structural costs. This figure may not apply to all projects, but it reveals an issue masked by the previous bull market: issuing tokens does not equal exiting; often, it’s just bringing future liquidity pressures forward.
The valuation at which a project team raises funds today determines what metrics they need to meet over the next three years to support that valuation in the next market cycle. If they can't meet it, they shouldn’t raise funds.
