The three exchanges most readers follow have different profiles. Binance is the largest by volume. Coinbase is a US-listed company with a regulated base. Bybit is a major derivatives exchange.

What moves price

Listings, delistings, outages, proof-of-reserves updates, hacks and regulatory action. Each of these gets its own story when it affects a coin.

How to follow them

Read the exchange’s own announcement first. Then check whether the move happened before or after it was published.

Upbit listing and Binance new listing news

An exchange listing makes a coin available to a new group of buyers. Upbit is the largest exchange in South Korea and Binance is the largest worldwide, so their announcements often cause the sharpest jumps.

The usual pattern

Price jumps within minutes of the notice, peaks within hours, and gives back much of the move over the following days. We have documented several cases where a coin surged and returned most of it.

How to read a listing notice

Check which trading pairs are opened, the date and time, and whether deposits open before trading.

Proof of reserves and outages

Exchanges publish proof-of-reserves reports to show they hold customer assets. A delay or a gap raises questions. Outages during fast markets matter too, because traders cannot close positions. We report both when they happen.

Reading a listing or delisting notice

Look for the trading pairs, the date, and whether deposits open before trading. A delisting notice usually gives a withdrawal deadline, after which tokens may be hard to move. Our coverage of the Binance incident is under Web3 Watch.
