Graphite Network (G) Announces Plans to List Its Native Token on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)

In a recently published roadmap, Graphite Network announced plans to list its native token @G on centralized exchanges (CEXs) in the coming months.

In a recently published roadmap, Graphite Network announced plans to list its native token on several centralized exchanges (CEXs) in the coming months.

Earlier in 2024, Graphite Network launched its L1 blockchain, which is being used to develop an ecosystem of decentralized applications (DApps) and services. The platform prioritizes trust, reputation, and equal rewards for all nodes contributing to the network.

Now, with powering everything within its ecosystem – from account activation to transaction fees, the token’s debut on CEXs will not be just a milestone but rather a launchpad for broader adoption.

The impact could mirror what other blockchains have seen. When Polygon (MATIC) was listed on Coinbase in 2021, its trading volume doubled within three months, and its developer community swelled as new users explored its ecosystem. Graphite Network’s listing aims for similar traction, leveraging CEXs as a springboard to draw in traders, developers, and everyday users.

CEXs Have Become A Gateway to Crypto Adoption In 2024

The cryptocurrency market in 2024 was a whirlwind of growth and opportunity, a year that saw its total market capitalization climb to an all-time high of $3.91 trillion in December.

This rise represented a shift in how the world interacts with digital assets. Two major catalysts stood out: the long-awaited approval of U.S. spot ETFs, which brought institutional money flooding in, and the steady stream of new tokens hitting CEXs, pulling in everyone from experienced traders to curious newcomers.

Listings of new tokens acted like adrenaline shots to the market, spurring frenzied trading activity. Over the past year, the average daily trading volume across CEXs was at around $50 billion, with new token listings often driving 20-30% spikes in activity.

For every new token listed, thousands of users who might’ve never touched a decentralized wallet get a chance to engage. It’s a ripple effect – higher volumes lead to better liquidity, which attracts more players, which in turn fuels adoption.

After Thena (THE) Binance listing on November 27, Mena’s price skyrocketed by over 2,300%, reaching a new all-time high of $4.09. A similar case happened to the Neiro (NEIRO) memecoin that surged by nearly 7,600%.

These listings didn’t just pad exchange stats, but they increased liquidity, tightened spreads, and made crypto feel less like a niche experiment and more like a mainstream investment vehicle. When a new token lands on a CEX, it’s not just another ticker symbol; it’s a signal of credibility and accessibility.

Graphite Network aims to tap into the same energy that propelled tokens like THE and NEIRO into the mainstream. Beyond the CEX listing, the platform’s 2025 roadmap is all about expanding Web3 adoption and delivering industry-first, practical L2 solutions with reputation-driven mechanics and real-world applications.

More From Graphite Network’s 2025 Roadmap

Graphite Network has a year-long plan split into several phases that blend infrastructure upgrades, partnerships, and groundbreaking applications. Here’s what’s on deck, straight from their announcement:

First Six Months Of 2025: Laying The Groundwork

Graphite kicks off the year by fortifying its foundation. Ecosystem tweaks – like wallet upgrades and instant exchange features – will make the platform slicker and more intuitive. The standout, though, is the Market Staking Program. Unlike traditional staking, which rewards passive holding (often yielding 5-15% APY but diluting token value), this program will pay traders some extra rewards based on their trading volume on DEXs like Uniswap and Curve, where is currently listed.

The CEX listing will hit in Q2, paired with strategic partnerships across blockchain projects and enterprises to weave Graphite Network into the Web3 fabric. Among other developments, they will launch the Phonebook Reputation MVP, a decentralized identity tool that ties reputation metrics to phone numbers via smart contracts, offering a trust layer for DeFi and TradFi platforms needing verified users without compromising privacy.

Q3 2025: Web3 Meets Real Life

In Q3, Graphite Network is set to release a reputation-based dating app MVP and a Hotspot Bundle initiative that provides internet connections to underserved regions to let more users join the decentralized economy. It’s equity in action, ensuring Web3 isn’t just for the connected elite.

Q4 2025: Governance And Tokenization

For Graphite Network, the year will close with the launch of a competitive voting system that ties influence to reputation, not just wealth, tackling a nagging flaw in decentralized governance. They will also launch the DePIN Geo Game, which will blend gaming with tokenized real-world objects—an auction
