LBank’s 11YA: Eleven Years of Connecting Discovery, Trading and Everyday Life
Marking its 11th anniversary under the theme "Come As You Are," LBank has expanded to over 30 million registered users globally as a dynamic, user-centric trading platform. Driven by three consecutive months of volume growth, a 10.22% QoQ increase in average daily volume, and a 3.4% spot market share in Q3 2026, the exchange continues to reinforce its market presence. Backed by industry-leading order-book depth and deep liquidity across major USDT pairs, LBank consistently delivers secure, early-access trading and comprehensive asset utility for global market participants.
In 2015, a trading account was the main point of entry into digital assets for many people. Eleven years later, users arrive at LBank with a wider range of interests. Some are buying their first Bitcoin; others follow newly listed assets closely. Some want to move between crypto, stocks, and precious metals, while others want to spend the assets they hold. Those different journeys have helped shape a platform now serving more than 30 million registered users.
“Come As You Are,” the theme of LBank's 11th anniversary, captures the idea behind that growth. Users do not need to approach the market in the same way. LBank has therefore developed around four connected needs: access to opportunities, tools for using assets, confidence in the infrastructure behind them, and a community people want to be part of.
Growth That Raises the Bar for the Platform
According to LBank's Q3 2026 report, CoinGecko data shows that its combined spot and derivatives trading volume grew for three consecutive months. Average daily volume increased 10.22% from Q2, with average daily derivatives volume rising 16.23%. CryptoRank data cited in the report puts LBank's spot market share at 3.4%, up from 2.5% in Q2. Earlier in the year, LBank recorded $702 billion in combined spot and derivatives trading volume in Q2, including $625 billion in derivatives.
This growth brings a broader set of expectations. Active traders look for consistent execution and sufficient order-book depth, while newer users need clear routes into products and information that helps them understand risk. In a study of order-book snapshots at specific times, BeInCrypto found that LBank ranked first among the compared exchanges for displayed depth in five of six sampled major USDT spot pairs. A snapshot cannot guarantee the outcome of an individual trade, but it offers a measurable view of liquidity available around market prices at the time.
Volume and market share show how many people are using a platform. The more consequential question for the next stage is whether it can serve different kinds of participation well.
Early Discovery, with More Ways to Explore
One of LBank's most recognizable strengths is bringing emerging assets to users early. In Q3, 28 newly listed assets recorded gains of more than 10x at some point after listing. PONS and AI1 reached peak gains of 30,453% and 27,273%, respectively. These figures describe historical peaks over specific periods. They do not represent returns earned by every user or suggest what an asset will do next.
Access to a new listing is useful only when users can choose how and when to engage with it. In Q2, LBank listed 184 spot assets, including 34 first listings, and introduced CTR, STAND, OPG, BLEND, and GENIUS through Pre-Market. Spot trading, Pre-Market, and asset discovery tools give users different ways to follow an asset as its market develops. A trader focused on established coins may prioritize depth and execution; someone researching an early project may want access to information before a broader market forms. Both need tools that make the risks visible.
Asset discovery remains central to LBank, but the range of assets its users follow has widened well beyond crypto-native markets.
A Broader Market in One Account
Over the past year, LBank has extended its offering across stocks, indices, and commodities. In Q3, daily TradFi trading volume reached a peak of more than $3 billion, and the platform offered more than 250 trading pairs across these markets. By Q2, LBank had listed 170 stock perpetual assets and 102 stock-related spot assets. Products involving bStocks, xStocks, and Ondo Finance have added different ways to access traditional market exposure within an existing LBank account. In August, LBank expanded its work with Ondo Finance to include USDY and Ondo Intelligent Portfolios.
Market breadth needs liquidity to be useful. Citing data from BeInCrypto, CoinGecko, and CoinGlass, LBank's Q3 report highlighted leading results in order-book depth for selected stock-related assets, spot trading volume for HOOD and MSTR, and trading volume for gold and silver perpetual contracts. These findings cover different products, samples, and measurement periods, rather than one ranking of the entire TradFi market. Together, they show the growing role of traditional market exposure in LBank's trading ecosystem.
For a user, the practical change is the ability to follow different market themes from one place. Someone tracking a crypto asset may also want to examine a stock token or a view on gold. Bringing those markets together reduces the need to move between separate accounts, while placing greater demands on product clarity, liquidity, and risk information.
Making Digital Assets Useful Beyond Trading
As more assets become accessible through one account, users also need ways to put those assets to use. In Q3, LBank Cash, which includes LBank Pay and LBank Card, surpassed 10 million cumulative transactions and reached more than 200 countries and regions. The transaction figure is cumulative; geographic coverage does not mean that every payment service is available on identical terms in every location.
In June, LBank Pay expanded beyond USDT to support direct payments with more than 20 digital assets, including BTC, ETH, and SOL. LBank Card gives eligible users a way to spend through the Visa merchant network and supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. These services extend the role of digital assets beyond a trading balance. Their continued development depends on clear fees, local availability, and dependable transaction safeguards.
That shift from trading to everyday use makes trust in the platform even more consequential.
Security as a Foundation for Global Growth
For LBank, security is a gate that every new product and market must pass through as it scales. It is also a foundation for serving users around the world. Whether someone is discovering an emerging asset, trading a stock-related product, or making an everyday payment, protection for their account and assets must keep pace with how the platform is used. As its reach grows, the ability to detect threats, prevent losses, and respond to problems has to be demonstrated in daily operations.
LBank's Q3 report states that, through September 30, the platform intercepted more than 550 security attacks during the quarter and prevented over $23 million in potential user asset losses. In Q2, it reported intercepting more than 230 potential attacks and preventing over $13 million in potential losses. Behind these figures is the continuing work of monitoring, identifying, and addressing potential threats. For users, the value lies in acting on risks before they cause harm.
That day-to-day defense needs systems and resources behind it. LBank obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system in March 2026. It established a $100 million Futures Risk Protection Fund for eligible situations covered by its rules and continues to work with security firms including CertiK and SlowMist. Information security management, defined futures risk protection, and external security expertise work together to make user asset protection a condition for product development and global expansion. As trading and payment use cases grow, LBank must keep testing and strengthening that defense.
A Younger Brand Built Around Participation
As its product range has expanded, LBank has also looked for a language that younger communities recognize. Its partnerships with Web3-native and digital culture IPs bring familiar characters, stories, and communities into the platform experience.
Its work with Nobody Sausage draws on a character that rejects fixed labels and speaks to the freedom of showing up as oneself. YETI brings a playful, community-led voice. The partnership with Pudgy Penguins extended that approach into a 500,000 USDT campaign spanning spot and futures participation, reward draws, and other product experiences. LBank has also worked with Ponke and, beyond Web3 IP, connected with football fans as a Regional Sponsor of the Argentine National Team. These partnerships give people different starting points for engaging with the platform, from a shared cultural interest to a specific product experience.
This is the link between LBank's younger brand identity and “Come As You Are.” A user might first encounter LBank through a character, a football community, or a conversation with friends, then choose whether and how to explore its products. The cultural partnerships make the platform more recognizable and approachable to people whose first connection to crypto may come through a shared interest.
The Next Chapter Starts with Different Users
LBank's 11th-anniversary celebrations began on October 8. They come at a point when the platform serves more than 30 million registered users with different languages, interests, experience levels, and risk tolerances. That scale makes a single, prescribed idea of the “typical trader” less useful than ever.
The work ahead follows from the choices those users make: clearer ways to evaluate emerging assets, stronger infrastructure for markets that now span crypto and traditional finance, payments that function in everyday settings, and security that grows with the platform. LBank's cultural partnerships add another dimension by giving users more ways to connect with the community around those products.
Eleven years on, LBank's direction is grounded in a simple commitment: give people the tools to understand markets, make their own choices, use their assets, and manage risk on terms that make sense for them. That is how “Come As You Are” moves from an anniversary theme into the platform's next chapter.
