Can niche crypto projects gain mainstream traction through smart exchange listings?

DYDX is trending as Layer 1 migration picks up steam.

Big exchanges are starting to pay attention to utility driven, niche tokens and it's creating new opportunities for both projects and traders. CARDS/USDT just got listed on BingX for perpetual futures, which caught my eye. COLLECTOR, the project behind it, is focusing on powering NFT infrastructure and GameFi tools. Not another profile pic project, but actual building blocks for Web3.

The listing on BingX gives the token more visibility and allows traders to speculate on price with leverage, which increases overall interest and liquidity. This shows how smaller but high-potential tokens can break out of their niche when given the right exposure.

These kinds of listings might be what push meaningful projects into the mainstream spotlight. Is this the new path for emerging Web3 players?
