Fun fact: about 3 minutes ago I placed a bid for 0.01 USDK/USDT on Hotbit. Their volume-faking bot seems very confused by the presence of another trader on the exchange, and since then the volume has dropped from $200/minute to 0.

I'd guess that they don't actually list projects for free.

Two projects that I was affiliated, both listed for free, without even applying. Also I have to recognise that has been supportive in a time of crisis when (the most scammy exchange ever) has been hacked, pausing in short term trading for an affected asset.

Weird--maybe they just don't make money then? IDK.

Yeap, makes sense. I am still trying to understand the business concept of “ghost exchanges”. I guess many are insolvent. Most are trying to survive from listing fees, but not sure if anyone is paying to get listed there!

I believe they make their profit when someone buys there and withdraw. The withdraw fee is big compared to other exchanges.

Seems hard to make that much from it--they say they charge 0.001BTC for isntance, which is on the higher end but I can't image their withdrawal volume is that big
