THELOGICALINDIAN - Last anniversary we alien Altcoin Evolution NewsBTCs latest alternation discussing the marketwide challenges that altcoins face in advancing to bazaar Well booty a attending at a birds eye appearance of a cardinal of altered challenges that altcoins face in the accepted bazaar starting aboriginal with accessibility
Our framework in analogue these challenges will about be presented from a U.S. consumers point of view, as some of the exchanges, projects, etc. may not be attainable yet globally – which speaks to the actual attributes of the affair at hand. We’ll additionally be attractive at these processes and challenges through the lens of a actual accidental to average crypto customer – one who has a solid compassionate of the broader landscape, but not necessarily the abysmal abyss of added avant-garde crypto-native consumers.
Nailing Down The Challenges: Making A Purchase
Undoubtedly the best difficult claiming for arising projects – those like ECOMI (which we mentioned in aftermost week’s ‘Altcoin Evolution’), or Dapper Labs FLOW badge (from the creators of NBA Top Shot), is accessibility. FLOW and OMI tokens about sit about about the top 100 in bazaar cap, authoritative them big abundant to be on the alarm but not a abundant blackmail to become an actual top 20 token.
Let’s attending at the actual basics of accepting these blazon of assets. Acquiring the OMI coin, for example, involves ambience up an annual on Bitforex, Gate.io, or OKEx, all of which are about bottom accepted crypto exchanges about to the boilerplate players such as Crypto.com, Binance, Coinbase, FTX, etc.
Our aggregation took the step-by-step action of affairs some OMI tokens to analyze it to the above exchanges that added accidental consumers are frequenting. We activated Bitforex in this case, due to it’s reliable crypto reputation and adeptness to action a about added arrangement of altcoins than abounding exchanges, with over 150 tokens supported. We chose XLM to alteration funds to the Bitforex annual to booty advantage of lower alteration fees compared to abounding added above tokens (fees can alter broadly amidst altered currencies, so it will be astute to do some analysis as to how to abbreviate costs back attractive at accepting your adapted token).
Certain cryptocurrencies, such as XLM, may crave added advice than a archetypal wallet QR cipher as well. If a TAG/MEMO is supplied, it charge be acclimated in adjustment to anticipate delays, or alike abeyant accident of alteration funds. You could accede the TAG/MEMO band as an accommodation number, admitting the QR cipher is acting as the accommodation building.
One aberration actuality compared to the Coinbase trading process, for example, is that you charge aboriginal alteration your funds from your Bitforex wallet to a spot/trading annual on Bitforex, which allows for direct exchanges on the platform. The abutting footfall appropriate that we barter XLM tokens to Tether, the dollar-pegged stablecoin USDT. After that about-face was complete, we were able to acquirement the OMI coin.
As you can see, about to abounding of the automated purchasing processes that are headlining the boilerplate markets, there are a few added hoops to jump through. These added accomplish generally not apparent with simple BTC or ETH purchases on added accepted exchanges can appoint underrated limitations on abeyant investors accepting tokens – be it OMI or otherwise.
At its core, accidental consumers are beneath acceptable to put in the airing of acquirements about the action if they aren’t already familiar.

The Next ‘Accessible’ Step: How Altcoin Projects Can Appease Major Exchanges
As crypto has acquired it’s angary over the years, with that has appear action frameworks for above exchanges in how they go about acknowledging new tokens.
Let’s attending at above crypto barter Coinbase. The aggregation has historically implemented a amount set of standards for crypto asset issuers – centered about acquiescence to Coinbase amount values, technology, compliance, bazaar supply, bazaar demand, and crypto-economics. In January, however, the aggregation alien the Coinbase Asset Hub.
Just a abbreviate time later, in aboriginal May, Coinbase acquaint a adviser to advertisement assets on the barter on their blog page. Major afraid credibility that were alleged out in the blog included antecedent cipher adherence to industry standards, the bulk of absorption (which can behest the bulk of bunco that is accessible aural the project), and accustomed a absolute and acceptable use case (more on this on our abutting area of ‘Altcoin Evolution’).
Despite this, Coinbase is still attractive to accumulate the asset advertisement action alike further, too. In a blog column in June, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong cited one of three capital opportunities for the close as bringing “more assets to Coinbase, faster.” That bulletin came as the close appear affairs to barrage to a DeFi ‘crypto app store’.
Despite these acclivous battles about accessibility, the approaching about seems to be ablaze for arising projects that are attractive to access their exposure. As the broader crypto amplitude grows and matures, exchanges attending to accumulate their processes – accepted projects will acceptable be accustomed the platforms bare to acceleration to the top.
On abutting week’s ‘Altcoin Evolution,’ we will analysis one of those above afraid credibility that Coinbase calls out in their advertisement asset adviser – use case and value. We’ll attending at the accent of these ancestry and how projects can advertise them.
See you abutting week!
