Andre Cronje: Coinbase has repeatedly requested listing fees and is willing to disclose all evidence for public verification
ChainCatcher news, Sonic Labs co-founder Andre Cronje expressed his views on the recent controversy regarding "listing fees" from exchanges. He stated, "Binance did not charge us a listing fee, but Coinbase has repeatedly requested fees, quoting $300 million, $50 million, $30 million, and the most recent quote was $60 million."
Some supporters of Coinbase responded by claiming that Andre may have contacted fake Coinbase listing workers and questioned Sonic Labs' background checks.
Andre responded again, saying, "I did not sign a confidentiality agreement, so I am more than happy to provide relevant evidence (the quotes came from multiple employees/departments at Coinbase, raised over the years via email, Telegram, and Slack). What is certain now is that Coinbase can argue this is not a listing fee, but other fees, yet it still translates into the listing costs for the project. I know Coinbase may legally make some distinctions, but I am happy to disclose all evidence and let the public assess."
