Summary

LCX Exchange (Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange) is a regulated crypto trading platform incorporated in Liechtenstein and registered with the country's Financial Market Authority (FMA). On January 8, 2022, the exchange suffered a hot wallet compromise resulting in the theft of approximately $6.8–7.94 million in various cryptocurrencies; LCX subsequently covered all user losses from company funds and cooperated with multi-jurisdictional law enforcement, ultimately freezing approximately 60% of stolen assets. As of 2024–2025, LCX remains operational, holds multiple licenses under the Liechtenstein Blockchain Act (TVTG), and has filed a pre-application for a pan-European MiCA license.
