Centralized Exchange Listing Advisory
The listings desk is the most regulator-watched, most reputation-sensitive function inside a CEX. It is also the function most often handed to a junior team. We build it as a product committee with a written framework that survives both audit and a board review.

A vetting framework that holds up
Smart contract review, issuer due diligence, regulatory risk score, market readiness, and an MM commitment. Each is graded; the aggregate decides the path. Document everything — the regulator will eventually ask.
Should listings be a paid product?
Yes, but the fee is for the work — not the outcome. Treating listing fees as revenue without honest vetting is the fastest way to a regulatory event.
Live decision on the table?
Licensing, market structure, MM panel design, listings framework, or institutional onboarding — direct partner time, no pitch deck.
