Listing calendar, step by step

What happens to a coin after an announcement, and where the venues come apart at that moment.

What is on the page

A single feed of official Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin and Bitget announcements: what is being listed and what is being removed. We do not paraphrase them — every row links to the original, which carries the exact trading start, network and terms.

Why listings matter at all

Adding a coin to a major exchange brings new buyers, and the price almost always reacts. But what matters for arbitrage is not the reaction itself: it is that the venues stop agreeing with each other. The coin already trades on one exchange and not yet on another, the DEX pool carries its own price, and withdrawals on the network you need may stay closed until the evening. Until the market levels out, there is a gap.

The filters

  • All / Listing / Delisting — the event type. Delistings get less attention than they deserve: they are usually followed by a collapse and closed withdrawals, and it is better to know in advance than to find a coin trapped on an exchange.
  • Exchanges — keep the ones where you hold an account.
  • With a ticker only — hides announcements whose headline carries no single ticker: quarterly contracts, "delisting 10 tokens", campaigns and promotions. With it on, the feed reads as a calendar rather than a news stream.

The flags on a row

"On exchanges" means a coin with that ticker already trades somewhere with meaningful volume. There is a second price to compare against — look it up on the cross-exchange arbitrage page.

"Has a pool" means a liquidity pool was found for it on a decentralised exchange. That is the other side of the trade for the DEX scanner: coins often trade in a pool long before the listing, and the gap between pool and exchange is frequently widest on announcement day.

An honest word about speed

The first seconds after trading opens are a contest between programs. Bots sit on exchange websockets, react in milliseconds, and on decentralised exchanges pay extra for block position. You cannot beat them by hand while watching a website, and any service promising otherwise is selling hope.

The calendar is useful for something else. First, it tells you a coin has come into focus at all. Second, post-listing dislocations live for hours and sometimes days rather than seconds: while the coin is open on some venues and not others, while withdrawals stay closed on a network, while pool liquidity is still thin. That is a human pace.

What to check before trading

  1. Open the original announcement: exact start time, network, whether leverage is offered.
  2. Verify the contract address — especially if you plan to buy in a pool.
  3. Check in your exchange account that deposits and withdrawals are open on that network. Right after a listing this is the most common place a route falls apart.
  4. Look at order book depth and pool liquidity for your size, not at the best price.
