LCX is a utility token based on the Ethereum ERC-20 standard, which is also available on the Base blockchain. It serves as the fuel for the Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange (LCX), a regulated Blockchain ecosystem. The token is used for a variety of purposes within the platform, including paying for trading fees, subscriptions for services like the LCX Terminal, and as a mechanism for transactions related to tokenization and other services.[7]
LCX, the Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange, was founded in 2018 as a regulated blockchain ecosystem for professional investors. The company is headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, with additional offices in Switzerland, India, and the United States. Its stated mission is to provide secure and innovative crypto solutions to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology. The advisory board for LCX has included notable figures such as Don Tapscott, Jimmy Wales, and Yat Siu.[8] [5]
On December 30, 2020, LCX obtained eight licensed registrations from the Financial Market Authority (FMA) of Liechtenstein, becoming one of the first cryptocurrency platforms in the country to achieve this level of regulatory compliance. This allows LCX to offer a broad scope of blockchain services. LCX AG is regulated by the FMA under registration number 288159 and has also applied for the European Union's Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) licenses.[8]
The approved licenses cover services for operating as a compliant crypto exchange (Exchange Service Provider), providing digital asset and crypto custody (Token Depositary and Key Depositary), offering reliable price oracles (Price Service Provider), managing KYC/AML compliance (Identity Service Providers), creating secure smart contracts (Token Generator), and operating a token offering platform (Token Issuer on behalf of clients).[4] [6]
In June 2025, LCX launched its new mobile application, LCX Mobile, for both iOS and Android users. The application introduced a redesigned user interface and provides tools for portfolio management and trading. Following the announcement, the price of the LCX token increased by over 30%.[10]
LCX has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of products and services designed to bridge traditional finance with the digital asset economy, all operating within a regulated framework.
The LCX Exchange is a regulated trading venue that offers a range of digital currencies. It is designed to meet the standards of institutional and professional investors by providing a stable and transparent trading environment. The exchange is built on a high-performance matching engine that supports various order types, including limit, stop-loss, and market orders. The platform also provides users with detailed records of trades and performance, with reports accessible via CSV and API to accommodate different client needs, from individual traders to large financial institutions. The user interface supports multiple languages, including English, German, and Chinese, with plans for further expansion.[6] [4]
The LCX Launchpad functions as a compliant token sale manager, offering a regulated solution for projects conducting Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) or other token sales. LCX acts as the legal placement agent, managing regulatory notifications, approvals, and legal publications. The platform provides an end-to-end service that includes smart contract development, legal documentation, investor onboarding with KYC procedures, and VIP investor support. Projects that have launched through the LCX Launchpad include $NMKR, $LEOX, $TANG, and $SUPER.[6]
LCX Earn offers regulated, tokenized bonds, which represent a new asset class combining blockchain technology with traditional financial instruments. These security tokens are based on an approved security prospectus and are available to verified retail users in 30 European countries. The offerings include tokenized bonds denominated in various assets, such as BTCt7 (Bitcoin), ETHt7 (Ethereum), EURt7 (Euro), and LCXt7 (LCX Token), each providing a fixed yield.[6]
Known as the "Liechtenstein Protocol," the LCX Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol created to standardize the issuance and trading of security tokens on blockchains. It is designed to be blockchain-agnostic, allowing for implementation across various public chains to ensure a consistent and compliant framework for security tokens.[6]
LCX is the world's first regulated Physical Validator under the Liechtenstein Blockchain Laws (TVTG). This designation allows LCX to tokenize real-world assets (RWA), bridging the physical and digital worlds. As a Physical Validator, LCX is responsible for verifying the authenticity and ensuring the secure safekeeping of the underlying physical assets, which maintains the integrity of the asset-backed tokens issued on the blockchain.[6]
The LCX Token is legally classified as a utility token under US, Singapore, European, and Liechtenstein law. It is not considered a security, as it does not grant holders any shareholding or controlling rights in LCX AG. The token's primary purpose is for use within the LCX ecosystem to access its services.[7]

The LCX Token was created in March 2019 during its Token Generation Event (TGE) with an initial total supply of 1,000,000,000 LCX. In 2019 and 2020, LCX conducted five planned token burn events, permanently removing a total of 50 million tokens from circulation. This established a fixed total and maximum supply of 950,000,000 LCX tokens. As of late 2025, the circulating supply is approximately 949.46 million LCX.[6] [9] [5]
A company reserve of tokens was held in cold storage under a fixed lockup period that concluded on June 1, 2023. Tokens allocated to the LCX team and advisors were subject to a 36-month vesting schedule.[9]
The LCX Token is integral to the platform and provides a range of uses for its holders:
