Do new listings reflect trust in a project or just market demand?

Dogecoin has been back in the headlines again, especially with renewed community activity and talks about its future use cases. It’s proof that even meme driven projects can keep surprising us when the demand stays alive.

But while DOGE is already well known, I spotted something that made me think about the process behind new listings. STBL/USDT has just been listed on perpetual futures. The question that comes to mind is: does this reflect deeper trust in the project or simply market demand?

From what I’ve seen, perpetual listings often show both sides. On one hand, exchanges don’t just list random tokens there’s usually a level of confidence that the project is real and worth the risk. On the other hand, these listings also reflect the growing demand from traders who want access to the pair.

For STBL, this step could be an early sign of wider recognition. It may not be making noise like DOGE or BTC, but getting into perpetual futures means it’s reaching a stage where both trust and demand are starting to align. That’s what makes it worth paying attention to.

What’s your view are perpetual futures listings more about the exchange showing trust in a project, or are they mainly about meeting market demand?
