CoinTR Listing Principles

As of June 26, 2024, Article 35/C was added to the Capital Markets Law No. 6362 through Article 4 of Law No. 7518. This new regulation mandates that crypto asset service providers must establish a written procedure for listing any crypto asset that will be traded or initially distributed on their platforms. It also states that the Capital Markets Board (CMB) may determine further principles and rules regarding these procedures, and that technical opinions may be obtained from TÜBİTAK or other relevant institutions if needed.
The obligation became official with the publication of the “Communiqué on the Establishment and Operational Principles of Crypto Asset Service Providers (III-35/B.1)” by the CMB on March 13, 2025. Related articles, including Article 20 and onward, as well as the “Communiqué on Working Procedures and Capital Adequacy (III-35/B.2)”, outline the framework for listing and delisting procedures.
CoinTR has developed its own internal listing and delisting policies in full compliance with this regulatory framework. Our approach is based on a transparent, objective, and multi-dimensional evaluation process. Each crypto asset is assessed thoroughly in terms of technology, financials, and legal compliance. Based on the evaluation report, listing decisions are made.
Below are the main evaluation criteria and a summary of the process:
Listing Criteria
CoinTR evaluates crypto assets using the following key criteria:
-
Technological Infrastructure: The technology and business model of the project are analyzed for innovation, sustainability, and competitive advantage.
-
Tokenomics: The token’s supply-demand dynamics, distribution model, inflation structure, and use cases are evaluated for their added value to the ecosystem.
-
Market Capitalization & Liquidity: The project’s target market, trading volume, and overall positioning within the industry are considered.
-
Founding Team: The experience, transparency, and influence of the core team members in the blockchain and crypto space are reviewed.
-
Security: Audits of smart contracts, open-source code availability, and measures for user asset protection are examined.
-
Legal Compliance: The project’s alignment with applicable laws, licenses, and its regulatory stance are taken into account.
-
Network Operations: For projects with their own blockchain, the stability, operational performance, and technical maintenance of the network are reviewed.
-
Vision & Mission: The project's value proposition, problem-solving capabilities, and growth roadmap are considered.
-
Fair Market Participation: Crypto assets created by or associated with Board Members, the CEO, Deputy CEOs, their spouses, or their children under custody, or companies in which they hold a 10% or more stake, cannot be listed on the platform.
Listing Process
Application & Evaluation: The project owner or representative submits an application. Technical, financial, legal, and security reviews are conducted.
-
Collaboration & Approval: After all necessary documentation and data are provided, the CoinTR listing committee completes its assessment.
-
Timeline Planning: A schedule is created for technical integration, wallet configuration, market-making setup, and public announcements.
-
User Notification: Listing announcements are published on the website and app. Trading pairs are activated, and deposit/withdrawal functions are enabled.
Delisting Process
Crypto assets may be removed from the platform if they fail to meet certain standards. Reasons for delisting include:
-
Unethical conduct, use of fake identities, or fraudulent activity by the project team
-
Lack of development or absence of technical updates
-
Security vulnerabilities, smart contract risks, or issues with the mainnet
-
Low trading volume and liquidity over extended periods
-
Misleading communication or regulatory violations
-
Failure to cooperate with CoinTR’s internal audits
Delisting Steps
