A listing is the addition of a cryptocurrency or token to a trading venue, most often an exchange, after which the asset becomes available for buying and selling. The procedure can be paid or free.

A long, or long position, is a trade made in anticipation of a rise in an asset's price: the trader buys cryptocurrency in order to sell it for more. Market participants who bet on a rise are called bulls.

A money hold is a temporary restriction on money operations on an exchange: a delay in depositing, withdrawing or using funds. It is usually imposed under the venue's rules or as part of checks.

Margin trading is trading on an exchange using borrowed funds that increase the size of a position through leverage. The method can amplify both a trader's profit and losses.
