How do perpetual futures listings shape early token momentum?

Arbitrum is back in the spotlight as new governance votes stir activity.

One thing I’ve been paying more attention to lately is how futures listings give a token that first real wave of momentum. Just like EXO/USDT, which recently dropped on BingX.

We’ve seen it with Arbitrum once it was available on futures, volume exploded and more eyes followed. With EXO, we might be seeing the start of a similar journey, just at an earlier stage.

It’s not about hype right now. It’s about spotting signals and being early. A futures listing means more market access, more trading pairs, and more volatility (which, let’s be real, is where the money is if you know how to manage your risk).

I think these early listings create more than just buzz they’re a strong sign of a project preparing for the next step.

When you see a token like EXO listed on futures early, do you view it as a trading signal or just noise?
