LCX History & Milestones: Three Years Of Transforming Financial Markets

kwa LCX Team · December 31, 2021

It all started with a napkin; on November 27, 2017, at the heart of #CryptoValley in Zug, Switzerland, the founder of LCX, Monty C. M. Metzger wrote the basic idea on this napkin.

LCX was founded in 2018 with the vision to Disrupt, Innovate and Deliver. LCX is bridging traditional market participants with the crypto market to enable them to leverage opportunities arising from the growth of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets.

LCX’s goal is to become one of the world’s first regulated and supervised blockchain ecosystems for professional investors. Since its launch, LCX has come a long way and is going from strength to strength, serving as a blockchain ecosystem, a regulated trading venue, a compliant token sale manager, a tokenization platform, and much more.

There are now over 30 cryptocurrencies and 60+ trading pairs available on the LCX Exchange, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, QNT, Polkadot, and LCX Token.

2021 marks an incredible year of growth and expansion for LCX. The year began with the launch of LCX exchange and ending with its global expansion to the USA through the launch of LCX Inc. USA. LCX launched the first regulated token sale for Digicorp Labs’ DiGiMetaVerse on its platform. This year LCX Token got listed on Coinbase, the largest U.S based cryptocurrency exchange, and reached its all-time high of $0.70.
