The world has become so rotten that when you tell the truth about your own experiences, nobody believes you!

Last Thursday, I sent 168 USDC via Arbitrum from Hyperliquid to Lbank and only received 0.000168 USDC on Lbank. I contacted Lbank via chat: they told me they would sort it out within 24 hours, and three hours later, I had my 168 USDC on Lbank.

Believe what you like.

I’m nearly 62 and I come from a time when it was the norm to be honest.

And since you doubt me, I’ll take this opportunity to tell you that, for my part, I doubt the people here who advertise platforms in their forum signatures!

Of course there are people who make things up.

Besides, if you accept that there might be false positives on TripAdvisor, you have to accept that there might also be false negatives.

And then there are people who behave strangely or inappropriately and then complain when their account gets suspended.

And there are plenty of suspended accounts on Kraken and other platforms.

In life, nothing is 100% certain. You have to learn to live with that and still sleep soundly at night.

That doesn’t stop you from trying to diversify your investments and exercising a bit of caution.

What bothers me most about stablecoins is the depreciation of their value, just like any fiat currency.

I did this because it saddens me to see that unhappy people write a lot, whilst happy people don’t often think to post their reviews.

Because of this, we might end up thinking that every single company in the world is terrible! And even products in general.

So, for my part, if I’m satisfied with a product or a company, I try to say so, even if ‘the others’ are supposedly dissatisfied.

And I’m not someone who writes lightly.

Did you contact them via chat?
In my experience, I found that they weren’t very responsive via email but were excellent via live chat.

For my part, I’ve used Lbank for over a year (with a balance of over $40,000 for months on end), and have been completely satisfied, as I explain here in full transparency:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5576232.msg66467285#msg66467285

Les plateformes comme Binance, Kraken (..) ont des avis Trustpilot mauvais aussi! En crypto plus qu'ailleurs, il y a des utilisateurs qui font des choses "étranges" et après, ils se plaignent d'avoir des problèmes.

For my part, I’ll say it again: I’m very happy with Lbank. Everything has gone smoothly, and they even came to my rescue when I lost my Google Authenticator code. I’m puzzled because the contrast between my experience with Lbank (which has been excellent) and the negative impression people are trying to make me believe leads me to think that Lbank may be the victim of lobbyists seeking to undermine freedom in the crypto space.

I’ve noticed that governance through fear has, sadly, become quite the trend in recent years.

I’ve stopped using Lbank and switched to Hyperliquid, though; this is more to avoid any potential future issues with KYC regulations than because I lack confidence in Lbank.

Waouuu! Bravo! Le monde de la crypto est immense. Je n'avais pas connaissance de cette possibilité de créer un porte-feuille.

C'est un mode de vie, pas une secte. Je constate les bénéfices sur ma santé (morale et physique) depuis Juin 2024.

Ce qui est triste, c'est de voir encore en 2026 tant de gens dans le monde boire du Coca à foison, manger n'importe-quoi, être en surpoids, être en état d'inflammation de bas grade chronique, etc, etc!

Mais revenons au sujet. 

Je voulais dire: si j'achète du BTC sur Hyperliquid en payant avec des USDC (trading spot), j'ai donc du BTC sur mon wallet Hyperlid. J'ai vu depuis, que c'est du BTC natif et qu'on peut l'envoyer vers l'adresse de notre choix (wallet Ledger ou autre) depuis Hyperliquid, qui utile effectivement Unit.

Grace à ta réponse, j'ai compris qu'on pouvait aller manuellement sur Unit pour envoyer ou recevoir (deposit/withdraw) des tokens qui ne sont pas des USDC. Il me reste à tester ça.

J'ai donc compris aussi comment déposer des BTC pour les trader ensuite sur Hyperliquid.

Merci!

No one realizes that the BTC bear market is here because the majority of people believed that the bear market was coming, plain and simple!

I think that if the vast majority had believed in the steady rise of Bitcoin without a bear market, that is what would have happened. 

Ce que je n'ai pas encore vu, c'est comment sont livré les cryptos qu'on achète: par ex, le BTC est livré sous forme de BTC wrappé sur Arbitrum?

Ou on peut demander à le recevoir directement sur son cold-wallet via réseau BTC?

For my part, I only trade Bitcoin SPOT. Volatility is actually useful for making small gains on a regular basis.

It's almost risk-free. If BTC falls below my purchase price, I wait for it to rise again.

I trade on a CEX and/or DEX that charges very low fees, so I can take advantage of changes in the BTC price of 1,000, for example.

Je viens ici pour mettre à jour mon sujet:

Sur mon sujet en anglais sur Lbank (sur Bitcointalk), l'utilisateur "Potato chips" m'a recommandé Hyperliquid trading (DEX) pour remplacer Lbank. Parce qu'il est vrai que Lbank risque de demander un KYC un jour ou l'autre...

Je me suis donc inscrit sur Hyperliquid trading hier (11/3/26) et j'ai utilisé un peu: cela semble absolument génial!!! Le tradinng spot n'offre pas des centaines de paires mais il y a largement ce qu'il faut pour moi. Et l'interface est classique pour du trading "pro", ce dont j'ai déjà l'habitude.

C'est tellement chouette de voir des systèmes bien réalisés, pas trop complexes à utiliser, fiables et qui préservent notre privacité!

Toutefois, Lbank reste tellement pratique aussi (multi-blockchain, gestion de nombreuses crypto, etc.): pour déposer des USDC Arbitrum sur Hyperliquid, j'ai utilisé Lbank: USDT => USDC puis envoyé direct de Lbank vers mon wallet Hyperliquid via reseau Arbitrum One. Facile!

Donc si dans le futur, mes trades sur Hyperliquid se passent bien, je vais utiliser Hyperliquid pour tous mes trades mais je vais conserver Lbank pour les choses "utilitaires", tant que les normes ne vont pas les obliger à me demander un KYC... J'éviterai simplement d'y laisser des actifs et d'y faire passer de gros montants.

Je crois que Hyperliquid va devenir un partenaire important pour moi!!!

I signed up for Hyperliquid trading yesterday and used it a little: it seems absolutely great!!! Spot trading doesn't offer hundreds of pairs, but there's more than enough for me. And the interface is classic for “pro” trading, which I'm already used to.

It's so nice to see well-designed systems that aren't too complex to use, are reliable, and protect our privacy!

However, Lbank is still so convenient (multi-blockchain, management of numerous cryptocurrencies, etc.): to deposit USDC Arbitrum on Hyperliquid, I used Lbank: USDT => USDC then sent directly from Lbank to my Hyperliquid wallet via the Arbitrum One network. Easy!

So if my trades on Hyperliquid go well in the future, I'll use Hyperliquid for all my trades, but I'll keep Lbank for “utility” purposes, as long as regulations don't force them to ask me for KYC... I'll just avoid leaving assets there and transferring large amounts.

Thanks again for telling me about Hyperliquid because I think it's going to become an important partner for me!!!

Perso, je trouve qu'on n'est jamais mieux servi que par soit-même.  

Mais tu as Meria qui fait ça (France). Je crois qu'il faut leur confier un certain montant... Son CIO est SIMONIN dixit Hasheur sur YouTube. Il intervient souvent sur BFM Crypto.

Méfie-toi des "pro" qui peuvent te proposer leurs services, suite à ton message ici...

Thanks for your reply. That's right: DeFi seems much more complex to me.

I'll take a look at Hyperliquid, which I've often heard about...

And yet, I connect from France or Spain (regulated countries) and Lbank does not prohibit me from trading without KYC. Nevertheless, I agree with you: it's a delicate situation for the future...

In the two and a half years that I've been involved in crypto, I've never found a DEX that I thought was simple and reliable. Even though I'm a computer scientist, I'm over 60, so that doesn't help.

I recently managed to buy crypto without KYC with Peer.xyz, which I think is fantastic! (in my case, via the Revolut app).

But for trading, I have nothing else but Lbank.

What KYC-free solution would you suggest instead of Lbank?

Thank you!

I think you didn't read my post carefully (?). I did NOT say that paying in euro could be done without KYC, but only crypto-to-crypto trades.

Lbank, a reputable centralized crypto exchange without KYC and with low fees (0.1% max) on desktop or mobile (app):

I know that Lbank doesn't have a very good reputation, and yet...

I have been using Lbank regularly since December 2024 to trade (spot, as an amateur) BTC, LINK, XRP, USDT, USDC, and others. It is based in Hong Kong and is not regulated in Europe, which is one of its big advantages! Even though the “My Account” page says you need to do KYC to start trading, KYC is not mandatory to trade on Lbank. I only use it on my computer (web), but they also have a mobile app.

I don't avoid KYC to avoid paying taxes, but for my security and privacy. As you know, the less personal information I have on the web, the less risk I have of being attacked at home or falling victim to other unfortunate events (identity theft, targeted phishing, and so on).

I discovered Lbank one day in December 2024 because they were one of the few platforms to list the altcoin LUIGI (Luigi Mangione). I wasn't particularly interested in the character, but the name Luigi means a lot to me because it was important in my youth... So I saw it as a sign and bought some Luigi, which is how I discovered Lbank...

I didn't have much confidence in Lbank at first because the few reviews/articles you can find in Europe about this exchange aren't very encouraging (are the European administrators trying to scare us?!), but I find this platform comprehensive, interesting (low fees), and reliable! Real-life example: In February 2025, I lost my Google Authenticator code and couldn't access my Lbank account, which had about $6K in it! I thought, “That's it, I'm going to lose my money!” Well, no, because I contacted support via Lbank chat and a person (a nice change from the bots on many platforms) spent over half an hour with me to help me provide proof that the account was mine and agreed to ask support to reset Google Authenticator. Since I hadn't done the KYC, I had to provide screenshots of emails I had received from Lbank for successful transfers and trades. But I didn't know it was wise to keep these emails, so I didn't have the ones they were asking for! Fortunately, the person found an alternative solution and I had still kept a few emails and, of course, the exact amounts and dates on my spreadsheet. A few hours after the chat, I had access to my account and was able to restart Google Authenticator with a new key. Phew!

Since that day (a year ago), I have complete confidence in Lbank because they solved a big problem with my account (entirely my fault) and solved the problem in just a few hours, despite the absence of KYC! This is a change from Kraken and others, who sometimes block accounts for weeks or months, despite the KYC being done!!!

I think people mainly write on the web when they are dissatisfied and generally forget to write when they are satisfied with a platform.

I often have a 5-figure balance on Lbank for weeks, with no trading or withdrawal issues. I see on the ETH blockchain that some people are handling sums in excess of $250,000 on Lbank...

I have made dozens of withdrawals to my cold wallets, but also to other entities, and Lbank never asks for anything (“Is this your personal wallet?”, “Reason for withdrawal?”, “Where is the withdrawal going?”). None of that! I withdraw cryptos when I want, where I want, and for the amount I want. Total freedom, speed, peace of mind, zero stress! A very clear interface (web-based for me, but also available as a mobile app) allows you to choose the crypto to withdraw, the mode (on-chain or to another Lbank user, which can be another account of mine), enter the destination address, and choose the network (many networks supported). The fees are clearly indicated and there are no nasty surprises. The fees are quite high for withdrawing BTC: 0.001 BTC (i.e., $6-12 depending on the BTC rate), but for most other cryptocurrencies (USDT, USDC, etc.) it's a fixed $1 or even less. Personally, I prefer to pay a little more for transfers (which are quite rare) than for trades! And privacy is well worth these few fees.

The same goes for crypto deposits (no questions asked) and no fees charged. An email notifies us as soon as the crypto is on its way on the blockchain, even before it arrives. The entire history is available for consultation.

I only do basic SPOT trading on Lbank, but the platform offers many ways to invest in crypto: futures (leverage), copy trading, events, Earn, etc.

For SPOT trading, the interface is professional and comprehensive but easy to use: everything is clear, explained, and in English (many languages supported). I find the Lbank site much easier to use that Binance. The online help is well translated into French! For example, to explain the different types of orders (limit, market, etc.), a small “?” button opens a very clear pop-up window with graphics, text, a page for each type of order, ‘buy’ and “sell” explained separately, etc. Very well done!

You can buy/sell immediately or place orders: the page is the same and all the options are right there in front of you. Lbank offers “limit,” “market,” “trigger,” and even “OCO” orders (double order, e.g., sell if the asset reaches a price of $92,500 while selling if it falls below $85,000). All this comes with a base fee of 0.1%, but if you have more than $10,000 in your account, Lbank will upgrade you to VIP1 within a few days and the fees will drop to 0.08%! Other VIP levels exist, with even lower fees, but you need to have more money in your account.

Beyond the savings, these low fees allow me to buy and sell even if the BTC has only moved a little, without the fees canceling out my gains or causing a loss.

It is possible to buy/sell crypto from a FIAT currency (Euros, $, etc.), but obviously, I don't recommend it because KYC will be required! It's better to go through P2P or something else...

Warning for Swiss users: Lbank refuses customers who connect from this country. Use a VPN connected to France, Spain, Portugal, or elsewhere...

As you can see, I am a real fan of Lbank! Of course, this is just my opinion as a user. I would like to reiterate that I trade as an amateur, mainly BTC, a little ETH and (rarely) a few altcoins...

Effectivement, ce n'est pas rassurant!

Et avec la mode des KYC partout, notre sécurité se réduit à la vitesse grand V !
