The Harsh Realities of Cryptocurrency Listing: Insights from Lucie of Shiba Inu and Dogecoin
The pseudonymous social media marketing lead of the Shiba Inu team, Lucie, recently took to her X account to elaborate on the intricate and often opaque backstage processes of getting tokens listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. This time, Lucie also highlighted the role of Dogecoin and its most prominent supporter, Tesla CEO and X owner, Elon Musk.
Musk Can’t Pump DOGE Anymore, Lucie Believes
In an earlier post on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter), Lucie revealed the “ugly truth” about how some centralized cryptocurrency trading platforms handle requests to list new tokens from development teams. According to her, these exchanges often disregard whether a token has a solid ecosystem or an actively improving development team. Instead, listings frequently hinge upon financial incentives. Tokens with substantial hype get listed quickly because centralized exchanges (CEXes) are eager to profit from their trading.
"So, you get your desired listing—hypothetically speaking. What will happen? Probably nothing. The market is heavily manipulated, and everyone is playing their own games. I still believe in an upcoming bull market, but if you observe the politics, no exchanges are pumping…" — LUcie (@LucieSHIB) September 16, 2024
Lucie elaborated on this point, asserting that even if a token secures a listing, the results could be underwhelming. She suggested that the market is heavily manipulated and disclosed to the crypto community that despite believing in an impending bull market, no exchanges are "pumping" tokens anymore, including Dogecoin.
Factors Contributing to the Current Market Stagnation
According to Lucie, one significant reason for this stagnation is the lack of new entrants into the crypto market. The market is not growing as rapidly as it once did, contributing further to the absence of significant token pumps. She recommended the SHIB community to consistently support Shibarium and emphasized that the developer team should persistently build, asserting that perseverance is key in these trying times.
Elon Musk Does Not Plan to Endorse Crypto Actively
Adding another layer to the narrative, Lucie referenced a statement made by Elon Musk in late July. In a podcast, the tech billionaire mentioned that he does not intend to actively promote cryptocurrencies unless it is done through memes or joking manners.
He stated that he believes there could be "merit in Bitcoin and maybe some other cryptos." As for Dogecoin, it remains his "soft spot" because it has "dogs and memes."
Until 2021, Musk actively endorsed Dogecoin in numerous tweets, often leading to substantial upward swings in its price. His current disengagement leaves Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies to rely on organic growth and fundamental development rather than celebrity endorsements.
FAQs

Q: How has Elon Musk’s stance on cryptocurrencies impacted the market?
A: Elon Musk’s tweets have historically caused significant price swings in Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, his recent disengagement suggests a shift towards more organic market dynamics rather than celebrity-driven pumps.

A: Lucie advises SHIB supporters to consistently back Shibarium and remain patient, as the development team’s persistent efforts will be crucial in navigating the current market conditions.
Conclusion
The insights shared by Lucie underline the complexities and inherent challenges of the cryptocurrency listing process. As exchanges continue to play a crucial role in the crypto ecosystem, understanding these backstage intricacies becomes increasingly important. Additionally, the influence of major personalities like Elon Musk may wane, shifting the focus back to fundamentals and organic growth.
