In the crypto world, there are no printing presses with the noise of metal and the smell of fresh banknotes.
Here, the birth of a new coin is a mysterious digital ritual, full of intricate technologies, ambitions, and... sometimes greed.
Who creates cryptocurrencies?
In most cases, it’s developers and project teams. These can be: Genius programmers creating a new blockchain with unique features. Entrepreneurs deciding to implement a token into their business or metaverse. Even anonymous legends like Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identities are still shrouded in mystery.
Creating a coin is writing code and launching a smart contract on the network (for example, Ethereum or Solana). At this moment, the coin begins its digital existence.
How do they get onto exchanges?
It’s much more interesting here than it seems:
1. Backstage negotiations. Creators negotiate with the exchange for listing, sometimes paying millions of dollars for the right to be included in the trading pairs.
2. Ghost exchanges. Sometimes coins appear on small platforms to "gain traction" and prove their worth.
3. The power of the community. The louder the fans of the coin, the faster major exchanges notice it and invite it to the "big game."
And then the most interesting part begins: pumps, dumps, influencer tweets, and traders battling for every percentage. In the crypto world, each new coin is not just code. It’s a mix of ideas, ambitions, and a thirst to make history. And only time will decide whether it becomes a legend… or dissolves into digital dust.
