Justin Sun and Andre Cronje challenge Coinbase’s listing fee transparency claims
Justin Sun claimed that Coinbase requested a payment of 500 million TRX (approximately $80 million) for listing TRX, contrasting with Binance's no-charge policy. He also stated that Coinbase sought a $250 million Bitcoin deposit for liquidity. Andre Cronje supported Sun, revealing that Coinbase had asked his team for listing fees ranging from $30 million to $300 million. In defense of Coinbase, community members like Greg Osuri and Haider Rafique stated that Coinbase does not charge listing fees. Luke Youngblood clarified that marketing costs associated with Coinbase's Earn platform are separate from listing fees. Discussions also arose regarding Binance's alleged listing fees, with Simon Dedic claiming Binance requested 15% of a project's total token supply. Binance co-founder He Yi dismissed these claims as unfounded, emphasizing that projects must meet strict listing criteria regardless of any financial offers.
