Highlights
Crypto exchange LBank has announced a historic partnership as the regional sponsor of the Argentina National Team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The partnership makes LBank the first crypto exchange to feature on the jersey of a major national side in a global sporting event such as the World Cup.
To celebrate, LBank launched a new campaign called 100M Bonus Pro. The program gives new users a $100 joining bonus and offers a 100% deposit match with no limits.
Alongside this, the exchange rolled out a revamped points system designed to reward deposits, trading, referrals, and balance maintenance. Users can also benefit from time-limited multipliers, creating what the company describes as a “proof of contribution” model that could later support governance.
Beyond this, LBank has also partnered with xStocks to launch the “XSTOCKS Zone,” a marketplace for tokenized stocks such as MicroStrategy and Circle.
This product enables retail users to trade stocks around the clock, without settlement delays or minimum thresholds, marking a clear step beyond traditional crypto offerings.
As part of its expansion strategy, LBank has announced new strategies to expand its community including campaigns such as Labubu EyesOnMe. The crypto exchange held several community building activities over the summer, including wallpaper challenges, mini-games, and limited-edition giveaways. These efforts reportedly attracted over 100 million impressions, showing that LBank’s light, creative approach can sustain engagement well beyond standard airdrops.
According to its Q2 report, LBank’s average daily spot trading volume hit $4.98 billion, a 24.5% rise from the previous quarter. Its derivatives trading volume peaked at $5.2 billion in one day, ranking it fourth globally. This growth has been driven by its aggressive listing strategy, with nearly a third of new assets in Q2 being global premieres.
LBank is also leaning into high-risk, high-reward assets via its EDGE zone, which offers a “100% trading compensation” scheme for early losses and a $5 million ecosystem fund. Early EDGE listings have returned over 1,600% on average, with one token surging more than 20,000%.
What Lies Ahead?
With its 10th anniversary approaching in 2025, LBank is positioning itself as more than a trading platform. From sports sponsorships and community campaigns to tokenized assets and governance experiments, the exchange aims to evolve into a broader Web3 hub while keeping its reputation for bold, unconventional moves intact.
