LBank started in 2015, one of a generation of exchanges that grew out of the Chinese trading boom and moved offshore when Beijing shut the domestic market. It is registered in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, describes itself as serving more than 200 countries, and has built its business on breadth: more than 900 listed tokens, with a reputation for listing small caps before larger exchanges will touch them. Spot trading costs 0.1%, futures run 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker, and you can deposit crypto and trade at low tiers without full identity verification.
What it is not is regulated in any way an American would recognize. There is no FinCEN registration, no state license, no separate U.S. entity, and its user agreement excludes U.S. residents outright. There are no bank rails; fiat enters through third-party card processors or peer-to-peer trades, none of which serve Americans. Support is live chat and tickets, and the public reviews describe what happens when a withdrawal is held for review and the chat stops answering.
Anytime Capital is the opposite shape: an American money services business that serves customers worldwide, with a storefront at 2549 Piedmont Road NE in Atlanta, an office in Miami's One Biscayne Tower, a phone line at (470) 748-2530, and every rail you are likely to use, including cash and same-day wire. It sells crypto for dollars, to people who can walk in and to people who cannot.
