What to Know:
LBank’s Partner and Head of LBank Labs, Czhang, has spent nearly a decade proving that consistency beats hype. Under his leadership, the exchange has maintained a perfect security record while scaling globally across both retail and institutional markets.
Since its launch, LBank has grown into one of the most trusted names in global trading. The exchange has operated without a single security breach for a full decade. In 2024 alone, LBank prevented more than $1.2B in potential security threats.
As Czhang puts it, the exchanges that survive are the ones that ‘can protect their foundation while exploring new possibilities, providing real value to users.’
As AI transforms trading and real-world assets move on-chain, LBank’s steady approach offers a glimpse of what sustainable growth in crypto looks like.
Czhang’s entry into crypto in 2017 marked a clean move away from traditional finance. He was drawn in by the structure, the idea that blockchain could become the new financial architecture.
After leading investments in more than 100 Web3 projects, he learned that success rarely depends on the technology alone. Teams must be able to adapt quickly and execute to outlast those with a weaker focus.
He puts it:
That belief has shaped how LBank Labs deploys its $100M fund today. The team backs founders who can build through bear markets and turn their ideas into sustainable ecosystems.
As he likes to remind new founders, quoting Sun Tzu, there’s ‘opportunity in chaos.’
Security has become a defining feature of LBank. In an industry tarnished by hacks and exploits, the exchange has thrived for 10 years without a single breach. A record possible due to proactive defense and constant improvement.
AI-driven monitoring helps to detect irregular activity in real time, while multi-layered protection covers everything from custody systems to user interfaces.
In 2024 alone, these systems helped prevent more than $1.2B in potential losses. With transparency and risk control embedded into its culture, LBank has managed to turn security from an operational cost into a lasting trust advantage over its competitors.
You can now buy fractional shares of companies like Tesla or Strategy directly on the LBank platform. This 24/7 accessibility overcomes the geographic and regulatory hurdles many users face.
To help showcase the product, LBank has launched a $120K Tokenized Stock Contract Competition. This gives users a hands-on way to experience the new product while earning a share of rewards based on trading volume.
LBank has long been closely following the AI sector. During the recent surge of the X402 trend, LBank has premiere listed several AI-related tokens, many of which achieved impressive growth. Notably, PAYAI soared by 875%, while PING reached a remarkable 989% increase.
Behind the scenes, LBank is using AI to analyze on-chain activity, order books, and even social sentiment to predict market shifts and optimize its liquidity.
Czhang explains: ‘By predicting price fluctuations and identifying abnormal trading behaviors, AI can alert potential risks in advance, helping users and the platform avoid unnecessary losses.’
While most VCs bring a lot of funding but little market experience, LBank Labs’ strength lies in being able to pick out the right early-stage Web3 investments.
Through its ‘invest + incubate’ model, LBank Labs works closely with founders to help develop marketing strategies and PR support, alongside the capital and exchange listings.
Projects featured on its LBank Edge discovery platform have achieved an average ROI of 864.95%. This includes popular tokens like $FARTCOIN and $USELESS.
Czhang firmly believes the next generation of exchanges, or those who will still be around, are those that focus on trust, compliance, and innovation.
As AI, tokenization, and security become pivotal to the company, LBank continues to refine its model around trust, transparency, and long-term value. It’s a vision that keeps the exchange firmly ahead of the curve.
