On the 1st of February 2023, LBank completed its registration with the OAM as a Virtual Asset Provider, as required by Italian legislation on crypto assets. The global crypto exchange with over 9 million users will now be able to offer services and products to Italian traders. The regulatory nod also allows LBank to open offices in Italy and expand its team.

By registering with the OAM, LBank joins a growing line-up of crypto exchanges who recently gained regulatory approval in Italy. After the official register of cryptocurrency traders was opened by the regulatory body on 18 May 2022, world’s largest crypto exchange Binance secured a spot just 9 days later. Other key industry players like Coinbase, Crypto.com, Bitstamp and BitMEX have also signed on since.
