“Binance will not delist XRP”
In response to Yazan’s comment, Zhao Changpeng I laughed about the situation. When a user asked why Binance doesn’t list new projects in the Base ecosystem, he sarcastically replied that they are waiting for listing fees before listing.

Specifically, CZ’s comments referred to events following the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020. At the time, several US-based exchanges, including Coinbase, Bittrex, and Bitstamp, suspended or removed XRP to avoid possible legal risks.

The only major US-based exchange that resisted this pressure and maintained support for XRP for US users was support.

Unpopular opinion post:
About the “Fees” list (I’ve seen this a few times recently)
1. If you are a project complaining about airdrop listings or “fees” (to users),
Don’t pay.
If your project is strong, exchanges will compete to list your coin.
If you have to beg for an exchange to get on the list… https://t.co/DtEMb4RdS0

CZ explained that exchanges follow a different business model. Some traders list large numbers of tokens and earn their income primarily from transaction fees, while others charge listings and deposits to reduce risk and prevent fraud. He said none of these models are wrong and encouraged developers to focus on building solid projects instead of worrying about competitors.
