Earlier, in an exclusive interview with CoinGape, IC Board Member Czhang Lin answered how LBank is different from other platforms in the crowded centralized exchange market. He stated: “LBank thrives on speed and the discovery of 100x gems in a market that punishes the slow.”

The platform still focuses on the asset discovery piece, which is a big thing for them because they’re looking to find the high-risk, high-reward assets, he added. Chand noted that through their LBank EDGE framework, they’ve been able to surface some interesting tokens. These include meme coins like USELESS and LAUNCHCOIN before the bull market began to focus on them in 2025.

The executive also shared his thoughts on LBank’s growing hybrid market approach. It allows users to trade MSTRX and CRCLX, as well as other digital assets and equity assets. Other platform features involve the rollout of a 90-day points-based loyalty program designed to improve user engagement and retention. In addition, it focuses on security improvements backed by CertiK for risk mitigation with infrastructure.
