Summary

Local Traders (localtraders.finance) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange and native token (LCT) project launched in 2021, headquartered in Chile and targeting Latin American and African markets. On May 23, 2023, the platform's smart contract was exploited due to a missing access-control check, resulting in approximately 379 BNB (~$119,000) stolen from its liquidity pool. The LCT token has since declined approximately 99.9% from its all-time high, the platform has shown limited trading volume, unverified team credentials, and a lack of regulatory registration, and the project was flagged by on-chain investigator ZachXBT.
