Why LBank is graded D
Five binary safety criteria — each one passed or not. The more passed, the safer.
- ✗
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 →

Your money, this pair
How much will you earn?
Method: monthly compounding (1 + APR/12)ⁿ, where APR is the exchange's stated rate. The realized 12-month return is slightly higher due to reinvestment. Rates may change. Not financial advice.

How ADA earns on LBank
When you deposit ADA into LBank's earn product you receive 1.3 % APY as a Flexible rate. The platform puts the asset to work and shares the yield — your balance grows without you doing anything.
This is a base rate, not a promotional teaser: it's what an ordinary deposit actually earns. LBank carries a YieldScope safety grade of D, so weigh the yield against platform risk — a higher rate on a weaker grade is not automatically a better deal.
Rates on ADA move with lending demand and market conditions. We re-check them daily and keep a history, so you can see whether today's number is unusually high, unusually low, or steady.
