0:00.0	Welcome to Bankless, where today we are talking about centralized exchange token listing fees.
0:08.7	There has been some drama on the crypto Twitter timeline as it relates to probably one of the more important subjects when it comes to the release and liquidity of found on tokens, newly launched tokens.
0:22.2	This drama got started when the founder of a prediction market project on base
0:26.4	released the details of an offering that he claimed he got from Binance
0:31.2	about the token listing fees for what it would be required for to launch his token on Binance.

1:18.8	I don't think these deals are cookie cutter. I think every deal is kind of made based on the
1:23.5	facts and circumstances of the project, but broadly, people understand these things to be
1:27.1	very, very large.
1:28.7	We've never really gotten confirmation or details or, like, explicit truth about what a deal
1:34.7	like this looks like because no one has released this information.
1:37.7	But it seems like because of a slip-up on the Binance side, the NDA was not sent, and
1:43.9	therefore this individual was free to disclose
1:46.6	on Twitter in public what exactly that deal was.
