Now that we got the low hanging fruit, it's time to reach for the harder to get stuff...
It's time to start reaching out to more exchanges for HIVE listings
HIVE has been listed on at least 15 exchanges per my calculations, most of which all happened within the past couple weeks.
More on that can be seen here:
Many of the exchanges that HIVE is currently listed on were ones that were trading STEEM prior to the hard fork that created HIVE.
These exchanges were airdropped HIVE corresponding with the number of STEEM their users held on the exchange.
At that point they could either distribute the HIVE to their clients and allow them to trade it for something else, withdraw it, or enable wallet support for the new cryptocurrency.
Many exchanges chose to go with the 3rd option which has been very beneficial for HIVE.
However, I would call many of these exchange listings as the "low hanging fruit"...
Don't get me wrong, it is huge that we have these listings and many have more and better trading pairs than I could have ever hoped for, however, now is the time we start reaching for some of that harder to get fruit...
What I mean by that is, now is the time we start contacting other exchanges that have never listed STEEM and talk to them about listing HIVE.
As an example, I recently got an email from Gemini telling me about their new coin listings...
I used this as a perfect opportunity to reply and see about a HIVE listing...
Here was their response:
As you can see, it was nothing earth shattering and nothing indicating they are even going to consider listing HIVE based on my email, but this was just the start.
Something to get the ball rolling on getting HIVE added to more exchanges.
By the way, here was my initial email to them for those interested:
I believe that we need to now focus our attention on exchanges that have never listed STEEM.
And the bigger the exchange, the better.
I'm thinking the Coinbase's and the Bitfinex's of the world...
Many of these have exchange listing applications that must be filled out in order for a decision on a listing to be made, and if that is the case that is the best way to go about it.
Perhaps we can organize a group of people that would like to spearhead this?
We likely need some people with some technical expertise in order to help some of the exchanges set up a wallet.
It's a little different with HIVE considering we don't have a CEO or lead development team per say, which is what some of this listing applications ask for...
It's a community driven project, which is something perhaps we can leverage to our benefit for more listings.
The crypto community as a whole loves decentralization and we have something here that is more decentralized than most.
Ultimately we want the biggest exchanges all listing HIVE, but if we can get smaller ones to list, that is helpful as well.
Getting every jurisdiction covered in terms of exchange listings is what is ultimately going to help the HIVE ecosystem grow and thrive.
How do you think we should best go about getting new exchange listings?
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Stay informed my friends.

Hive was listed on many new exchanges, but as you said, it did not have much effect on the price. We need to attract the attention of new exchanges that are not currently listed. Such as OKEx, UPBİT, Poloniex. My question to you is this:
Why the stock markets currently listed on the Hive; Doesn't list Hbd? Do you know about HBD being listed on new exchanges?
Thanks...
Well, it actually did help raise the price quite a bit. That was the catalyst being HIVE running from $.10 to $1.00 in a matter of days. But yes, a listing on OKEx, Coinbase, Bitfinex, and even Upbit would be nice. Interestingly enough, Upbit chose not to enable trading for HIVE, instead choosing to just distribute the airdrop. Perhaps now that HIVE is ranked well on CMC, they will reconsider that position...
You are right, we are in a position that we must keep the ball rolling. However, it is good to sometimes take a step back and acknowledge what we already achieved.
For being only a little more than 6 weeks for the first block being run, I think we made tremendous strides.
I know the attitude is different from what it was before and for that reason, I find myself more active on here than I was on Steem, which was fairly active.
Each of us has a part to do and can add more to the ecosystem, even if it is with a few more comments each day.

Sure, but like I said, we mostly got the low hanging fruit, which has been a good get and nothing I am minimizing. Now it's time to reach for the more difficult stuff though.
The whole volume is in Huobi, Binance and MXC ... The volume in Hotbit was disappointing.
Not all exchanges will have a lot of volume...
I’ve been reaching out to coinbase employees trying to put me in contact with someone who can help.
Any luck?
Not much yet. Trying to make contacts on LinkedIn, twitter, etc.
Coinbase would be the big get right now...
I’m working on it. I messaged the VP of listings fingers crossed.
I think it is better to form a group of honoured users who can look after it and will help Hive listing on more exchanges.
Well In general if anyone can try to reach exchanges, they won't consider his request and will let it go.
So it will be great to form a group of skilled and known members who can do this job with ease.
Sure that would be nice. Though it sounds like a group like this may cost a pretty penny judging from some of the proposals going around right now.
It would be pretty great to have HIVE listed on the larger exchanges, just to follow up on previous exchange listings. Wasn't there a huge bounty placed by some prominent HIVE-ers for a Coinbase listing?
