Pay-to-Play Red Flag: STAMP Listing Asked for $120K

I engaged with MEXC's community posts about STAMP and we shared and commented — I did my part. In the end, money talks: they reportedly asked for $60,000 as a listing fee plus $60,000 in market-making funds for a STAMP listing.

That pay-to-play demand is a red flag for me. It suggests the exchange or intermediaries are monetizing listings, which can compromise quality control and inflate short-term liquidity rather than genuine user demand.
