Binance’s CZ Warns Against Paid Token Listing Brokers
Changpeng “CZ” Zhao issued a clear warning that individuals or services claiming they can guarantee a token listing on Binance in return for payment are scammers. The alert comes amid recurring reports of intermediaries soliciting fees from projects promising fast-track exchange access, a practice that can leave teams and token holders exposed to fraud and reputational harm.
The reminder matters because listing promises are a common vector for scams and investor losses in crypto markets; projects should work only through official exchange processes and communications. Retail investors should also be wary of any third-party guarantees and verify announcements directly through Binance’s verified channels to reduce the risk of being targeted by fraudulent middlemen.
