5 criteria · check each one
  • ✗

    Regulation

    No licence from a financial regulator. LBK Exchange Limited is registered as a money services business with FinCEN (US, 31000328501557) and FINTRAC (Canada, M22603388) — anti-money-laundering registrations, not a licence to hold client funds — and LBank does not serve US or Canadian residents. Japan's FSA warned LBank in June 2024 for operating a crypto exchange without registration. The user agreement is governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Source 1 → Source 2 → Source 3 →

  • ✗

    Proof-of-Reserves

    LBank announced a Merkle-tree proof of reserves in November 2022, and a February 2024 support article lists two wallet addresses. We found no published report with reserve figures or coverage ratios. Source 1 → Source 2 →

  • ✓

    Flexible withdrawal

    Spot Earn is flexible: redeem at any time, interest calculated daily. The only pause is a daily 30-minute settlement window when positions cannot be exited. Source →

  • ✗

    Insurance Fund

    No protection fund covering hacks or loss of client funds found. LBank's loss-compensation programmes, including a $100M fund, cover futures trading losses from price spikes — not assets held in custody. Source 1 → Source 2 →

  • ✓

    Track record (2+ years incident-free)

    Operating since 2015. We found no confirmed hack or loss of client funds: a "2023 hot-wallet breach" repeated by some review sites cites no primary source, and we found none. The 2024 warning from Japan's FSA is counted under regulation. Source →
