History

LCX, the Liechtenstein Cryptoasset Exchange, was founded in early 2018 and received a business trading license from the Ministry of Economic Affairs in November of that year. Its founder and CEO, Marty Metzger, a technology industry entrepreneur and investor, created the company with the goal of becoming the first licensed and regulated security token exchange and marketplace for digital assets. LCX is a financial technology company that focusses on professional trading tools, the tokenization of assets, security token offerings. The LCX headquarters are in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, and the company has offices in India (New Delhi), Switzerland (Zug) and the US (Chicago, IL). The company was created in the wake of the Liechtenstein “Blockchain Act”, (formally known as the Token and Trusted Service Provider Act), a crypto-friendly framework of laws and regulation designed with the express purpose of fostering innovation in blockchain and tokenization. In December of 2020 LCX received regulatory approval from the FMA on eight separate registrations in accordance with the Blockchain Act. LCX has launched a number of projects over the last couple of years, including LCX Terminal – a trading platform, LCX Exchange – a regulated exchange for crypto assets and security tokens, LCX Price Services, and LCX DeFi Exchange (aka Fire Salamander) – a decentralized trading platform that allows placing limit orders on Uniswap V2. The ecosystem is supported by the use of LCX Token, an ERC20 utility token that is used to pay fees associated with the services offered by LCX (trading fees, subscription fees, custodial fees, etc.).
