# Cryptocurrency Launch Date and CEX Listings (7.2 Crypto Foundation)

> Source: [Cryptocurrency Launch Date and CEX Listings (7.2 Crypto Foundation)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=FkYl7GLbLeY)

## Summary

This video is part of a crypto analysis course, focusing on fundamental analysis of cryptocurrencies. The instructor demonstrates how to track the date a token first appeared on the market and which top centralized exchanges (CEXs) list it, using a Google Sheets table. The goal is to filter out potentially unreliable tokens and identify those with strong exchange support.

### Key Points

- **Setting Up the Spreadsheet** [00:03] — The instructor adds columns to a Google Sheets table to track token history and exchange listings. They fix the top row for easy scrolling and add seven columns for data.
- **Adding History and Exchange Columns** [01:03] — Two new columns are added: 'History' (date token appeared) and 'Exchanges' (which CEXs it's traded on). The instructor explains that tokens without history are not entered.
- **Analyzing BNB** [02:12] — Using CoinMarketCap and CryptoRank, the instructor finds BNB's launch date as 7/25/2017. They note that information may vary slightly between sources.
- **Importance of Centralized Exchanges** [05:50] — The instructor explains why CEXs matter: anyone can list a token on a DEX, but CEXs have strict listing criteria. The top 5 CEXs are Binance, OKX, FTX, KuCoin, and Coinbase.
- **Criteria for Exchange Support** [07:08] — A token is considered good if listed on at least 3 of the top 5 exchanges. Binance alone is also acceptable. The instructor demonstrates checking each token's exchange listings.
- **Analyzing Forta and Stake** [09:02] — Forta is listed on 2 out of 5 top exchanges, which is good for a 2022 token. Stake has 0 out of 5, indicating it's not on any top exchange, a red flag.
- **Interpreting Exchange Listings** [11:03] — The instructor notes that some exchanges compete and may not list each other's tokens. A token listed on Binance but not others might be under Binance's wing.
- **Homework Assignment** [14:43] — Students are asked to duplicate the Google Sheets link, add columns for launch date and top exchanges, and analyze their own tokens. This helps determine if a token is worth investing in.

### Conclusion

The video teaches a fundamental analysis method: checking a token's launch date and its presence on top centralized exchanges. This helps filter out unreliable tokens and identify those with strong exchange support, guiding investment decisions.

## Transcript

on, this time we'll go back to our table again and add a few more lines here. Now we'll end with a yarn over. We'll add 7 more to make it easier to use since we now. So, we've
already fixed the top one to make it easier to scroll. It will be very wide and it will be hard to figure out what's what, so we'll click here, view, then fix it, so we'll click here, view, then fix it, and several columns like this. And
now, when we scroll down, we see what tokens we're looking at, what cryptocurrency we have here. So, we'll add 7 columns here. To do this, we need to select 7 pieces: one, two, three, 4, 5, 6, 7, and click
insert. Columns on the right, and now we have this number of columns in this this number of columns in this lesson. Now we'll add 2. We'll write history. That is, the date when this token appeared. I just called it
history, and on which sex exchanges it is traded now. In order, I'll explain everything now. traded now. In order, I'll explain everything now. some color, as usual, so we understand on whom.  In the lesson we did this, let's have something like this.
the lesson we did this, let's have something like this. Well, let's make the title bold, it stands out for us, so what are we doing in general, what will we be talking about here, basically, what I wrote here briefly, what we need, we look at the history on which top
exchanges it was listed, what they write here, fundamental analysis, we start from the moment it appeared on the market, this is just for those tokens that we enter, which have history, there is no history, we do not enter, that is, in principle, there are two main
options. Here's how to proceed. Either we enter at all, but have not appeared on the market, this is the token target or some other distributions, or when they appeared on the market, we do not wait, do not get into the excitement, wait until the addresses are there, the graph, we go in and
therefore analyze what is with those tokens with those coins that we chose, since we chose some just at random, so we will now go just at random, so we will now go through all these steps. So,
through all these steps. So, first, we have bnb. I will now coinmarketcap recently, right now, I don’t know how it will be next, while I am now, I don’t know how it will be next, while I am making a note, the search works Not very well, but
now I immediately found it. Sometimes it writes something and does not find. Therefore, sometimes it may be more convenient to use the same Crypto  The whole frame flew out the name, which means what we do is we scroll a little lower, say everything, the entire graph and look when
say everything, the entire graph and look when it started for us, 7/26/2017 it started for us, 7/26/2017 now we will write this down. By the way, to open it, firstly, the information may differ slightly, but just use it
for preferably one column before using either one or the other, the information was pulled up in one place, which is convenient, you don’t have to scroll there, the very beginning here, right when we look at the historical graph, click All and
it directly writes the graphical time goes from 7/25/2017, let's already here for this information I will use Crypto rank so that for us, well, it’s just not
visually easier 7/25/2017 so here we will write will write 7/25/2017 that is, when it appeared for us 7/25/2017 that is, when it appeared for us further than hell, the
historical graph for all time, so Paul forgot to click 10/01/2017 for all time, so Paul forgot to click 10/01/2017 10/01/2017 that’s also far away, that is, two such straight mastodon pensioners  You
can say that everything is drawn out And by the way, this is immediately visible if we now scroll here and look, by the way, look what I propose to do now to make it
simply more convenient for us, let's take these columns like this, let's do it here and move them, there will be a
correction for these parts because here we will have a fundamental and then it will simply be more convenient to analyze all this, look at this Let's move on to analyze all this, look at this Let's move on Ford
historical chart All 16 0 6 22 All 16 0 6 22 16 0 6 2022 kill this is generally a 16 0 6 2022 kill this is generally a very, very fresh steak
here immediately opened historically 29 0 4 2020 exactly which is very, very fresh That is, here everything has definitely been passed on it for a long time
20 we will see what happens to it and watch Let's auto Yes, now I am showing all the actions that I do because perhaps at the
time of the analysis itself I will see something interesting I will immediately comment interesting I will immediately comment 28.1022
0 5 0 3 21 0 5 0 3 21 and here's the car, too, in principle, interesting in terms of data. That is, if we take into account history, then Forta is completely fresh, but again, we
will look at everything and now the important, very important, we will now look at which centralized exchanges they are traded on. Why is it centralized that interests us because on decentralized exchanges,
anyone can become a token. Come from the street, add your token, bring in some add your token, bring in some liquidity and that's it. And on the exchange there is this cryptocurrency, it's sex, that is, on a centralized exchange, it's not so simple,
it's not so simple. They entered. No one from the outside can enter and envy there is their own current, it is decided by the exchange itself. And the cooler the exchange, the harder it is to get there, so we are interested in who the stop-loss exchange is. There are 4 exchanges that interest us and we
will no longer look at crypto markets, we will look at this here, but at coinmarketcaper. Although in fact, cryptocurrencies are also possible, but it's just the way it is, cryptocurrencies are also possible, but it's just the way it is, so we go to the markets
centralized exchange.  We are interested in the 5 largest exchanges: Binance, OKayx, FTX, largest exchanges: Binance, OKayx, FTX, Cocoin, and Coinbase. Is it available on Binance alone? Anyone else from these majors? It's good. It's available on
at least three major exchanges. It's good if there aren't 4 major ones. Binance is also fine, that's fine too. So, we're interested in these five. We have interested in these five. We have Binance, of course, FTX, Coin, that
Binance, of course, FTX, Coin, that is, three out of five, and that's great, but especially, of course, Binance. We have the most basic one here. If it's available, that's already good. But ideally, if the top exchanges also support it, that is, we write that
it's available on three out of five exchanges. We'll do it this way. Let's do it this way. Three out of five, then we'll look at the market.
Binance is available. Coinbase is available. These are already three exchanges from our list. I'm already three exchanges from our list. I'm here, it's present, good, so here we write: Three out of 5. Well, yes, you can transfer it to sex and immediately say
that I didn't do Coin, so I guess you know what, to forgive him, I'll add these 5 exchanges somewhere here. Just a minute and  Here everything will appear, they will always be in front of you. That is, it will be easy to check.
Some of them were at least there. If you don't see If you don't see some exchange but want to quickly check, for example, FTX, I don't see it, then you can just do this: control copy it here,
just do this: control copy it here, control F and control paste here. We don't have it in this list, but it's okay. Three exchanges out of five are here too. The largest one is present and that's great.
great. Go to the table and write that here too, 3 out of 5, that is, We are interested in the largest exchanges, we look at Ford.
You see, there are no results, but how can it be otherwise? It's inconvenient, it's precisely at the moment of analysis when such nonsense happens. I wrote it manually; it appeared that it's so unclear, so we go straight to the Coinbase Coin market. By the way, Gate Mix is ​​also a
large exchange, but we are now taking exactly the five largest ones, that is, two out of five are there, and that's also good, no matter what, not on normal exchanges, it's also present. Take it
% true, but in general, we rely on it, that is, 5, we but in general, we rely on it, that is, 5, we write 2 out of 5, steak markets, we look at where it is traded.
we look at where it is traded. Oh, look, what nonsense is this  All Dex I see them already, let's go to Dex Here they are all, let's go to sex 0 That is, here it is impossible to understand go to sex 0 That is, here it is impossible to understand that out of 5 there is not one, stupidly not
one centralized exchange, it did not depend on it, even some of the most alimaya, that is, already fives I am telling you, at least someone is normal There is no one anywhere, let's check this now and on another site, the frames are like this, we write stake, you
see, at least it finds normally, let's go to quotes go to quotes about You see here Gate is already an adequate exchange, but it is not included in the top, namely in those, in these, in our top, that means Dex
sex Here are three exchanges, but as if such from them only Gate is normal, the rest is basically some kind of nonsense, that is why basically some kind of nonsense, that is why here 0 out of 5 0 out of 5
here 0 out of 5 0 out of 5 then auto markets sex so Binance is great, also from the large ones there is Gate and Mix, but we do not
take them into account here in our rating But here it is interesting, because it turns out that from the big ones, really from the big ones, only they are banned because of the leaflet, we will write down, that is, our list is frozen only  Bans, I'll write right here, Binance, I wrote it correctly.
write right here, Binance, I wrote it correctly. that according to the history of 2017, three of the largest exchanges listed it. Good by the way, you can also just... Why are they not so cool for a long time, but they are not on all exchanges?
not so cool for a long time, but they are not on all exchanges? Because some of the largest exchanges compete with each other, so they may simply not support competing tokens. For example, one
may not have the token of another, this is absolutely normal, so no one really pays attention. 3 out of 5. This is good. It's just that on Binance, this is already good, but just that on Binance, this is already good, but for example, Forte has 2 out of 5, but two out of
five, but look, if it got on in 2022, this is an excellent indicator. That is, if it, if the token got on... It should have appeared on serious exchanges a long time ago, if it
appeared a long time ago, it is considered long gone, but on top exchanges, this is crap, that is, it is better not to invest in such an exchange. They don't trust it, they don't want to list it on their own,
trust it, they don't want to list it on their own, as it seems to them. Well, let's say it's rubbish. as it seems to them. Well, let's say it's rubbish. Look, 2022, 2022, but already on two of the top ones.  Exchanges out of five. This is already good, that is, they came out recently and already two out of five have,
like, an excellent indicator. That is, when we analyze all this now, what is happening here next, our orders do not interest us now, we will get to them a little later, now we will
make a fundamental analysis on the fundamental. We have these two two parts and also these two two parts and also the correction, we are also interested in the stake 0 out of 5, that is, it is simply not on any top exchange and appeared in
2020. That is, there were two years to be angry at least somewhere, anywhere, with this main top 5, but they could not break through anywhere, that is, if the guys come to the exchange for the leaves, we are
cool, they analyzed Yes, really cool and they appear there, that is, there is a high probability that they simply have nothing behind them, but again, it is too early to draw conclusions, but this is already such a bell that it would be better not to get into this stake and
the auto of the big five is only on Binance. Most likely, it is simply under their wing. Why they are not on others is unclear. 21 years is Why they are not on others is unclear. 21 years is not that long ago. It is literally a year  There's been a
year and a half there, but since Bananas immediately scrolled through them, it kind of says something, so this can also be considered. That is, if you look at what we did in this lesson,
what is interesting and what is not, that is, reliable, we clearly see this bnb, reliable, we clearly see this bnb, this cardana, this auto. Well, and like Forta, maybe in principle, two out of five, this is also not bad, but we need to look further. But here's
Stake, but for now, what we stand for looks stupidly like an outsider, that is, for two years, they are just this is what you need to do now in this lesson. This will be much homework. Duplicate the link to Google Sheets again, add a column with the
date of appearance on the market and it appears. Add a crowd column with the top exchanges, that is, whether they appeared or not. When you do this, you will already begin to understand. Is it worth investing in this? Will I be able to invest in this and
sleep peacefully. And so, in the next lesson, we will also gradually add more columns. We will supplement the information and look at and compare. I have 5 tokens here.  40 30 or however many of you are left. That means there will really be something to choose from and
see the difference between what works and what doesn't. This is where I finish this lesson. Send me your homework, I'll check it. And after that, access to the next lesson will open. See you in the next lesson. Good luck.
