OKX, Bybit to list Telegram-based DOGS crypto, but will Binance do it too?

• DOGS is eyeing tier-exchange listing on Bybit and OKX
• Will Binance follow suit and boost the token? 

Telegram-based game Dogs [DOGS] has hit the headlines after clinching tier-1 exchange listings. DOGS crypto will be listed on OKX and Bybit. According to OKX, DOGS speculators will begin spot trading on 20 August. Bybit will also start spot trading for the gaming token on the same day at 12 PM UTC. 

“$DOGS is coming soon to the #BybitSpot trading platform…”

The USD-margined pre-market Futures for the token will begin trading on 19 August at 12PM UTC. This would be a new addition from the Telegram ecosystem. 

For context, the DOGS project is inspired by Telegram Founder Pavel Durov’s drawing of a dog-like mascot in a charity auction. As a result, the project team has set out to drive and support charity events. 

DOGS will now join Telegram-based projects like Notcoin [NOT] that have received many top-tier exchange listings.

Will Binance list DOGS crypto?

Despite Bybit and OKX’s planned DOGS listing, Binance hasn’t stated whether it would follow suit or not. Not listing it would be contrary to the DOGS community’s wishes. 

In fact, according to a recent poll of over 1.6M users, Binance is the most preferred platform for trading DOGS with a vote of 45%. Bybit and Telegram came in second and third, respectively.

Now, it’s worth noting that Binance always takes a little longer to list new projects, especially those it hasn’t incubated. Some of the projects are always left for the community to pick. A project with the highest picks can then be selected for listing on the platform. 

For context, the Slerf [SLERF] memecoins went viral and caught the attention of Bybit and other tier-1 listings. However, Binance didn’t jump on the trend. At the time of writing, SLERF was ranked fifth on Binance Futures Next, meaning it still has a long way to go before being enlisted on the exchange. 

The token rallied by 50% on 13 August after an update that it would be listed on the aforementioned tier-1 exchanges. However, DOGS soon retraced some of the gains and traded at $0.0074, at the time of writing. 

While Binance’s listing would have helped DOGS given its massive liquidity and user base, speculators might have to wait a little longer for it.
