Cryptocurrency exchange LBank has achieved a dominant position in the memecoin trading market, according to CoinGecko's 2025 State of Memecoins Report. The report reveals that LBank's market share in major memecoin trading pairs surged from 11.2% in January 2025 to 28.9% by September 2025, representing more than a 100% growth. This makes LBank the only top-tier centralized exchange (CEX) to double its market share in memecoin spot trading volume throughout 2025, consistently ranking among the top three exchanges by memecoin volume share for most of the year.
The exchange attributes this growth to two flagship innovations: LBANK EDGE, an AI-driven 100x Gems Zone featuring a $5 million insurance fund for loss compensation, which has delivered verified returns exceeding 100x on assets like LAUNCHCOIN (152x) and DUPE (134x); and LBmeme Launch, an innovative initial DEX offering (IDO) model with a full-refund guarantee that has powered successful token launches such as $LDOG with gains reaching 121x.
Eric He, LBank's community angel officer and risk control adviser, emphasized the exchange's commitment to user empowerment, stating: "Our goal is to empower users with accessible digital assets and tools, allowing everyone to find growth opportunities within the Web3 ecosystem." He further noted that LBank will continue to drive the memecoin market through speed, liquidity, and innovation.
In a separate but related development, LBank announced the launch of pre-market trading for MetaMask (MASK), the native token of the popular Web3 wallet developed by ConsenSys. Trading commenced at 16:00 Singapore Time (SGT) on December 16, 2025. To encourage participation during the price discovery phase, LBank is offering a dedicated Pre-Market trade protection campaign that provides compensation for eligible trades.
MetaMask represents a significant addition to LBank's pre-market lineup, given its position as the world's premier non-custodial Web3 wallet with approximately 30 million monthly active users, a cumulative user base exceeding 100 million, and over 5 billion transactions processed globally as of mid-2025. ConsenSys, founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, has secured over $700 million in funding.
LBank has previously listed other pre-market assets like STABLE and RED, with some recording peak returns of up to 206x following market entry. Eric He commented on the pre-market initiative: "Pre-market trading plays a vital role in fair price discovery and broader user involvement. By offering MetaMask (MASK) in pre-market alongside our protection campaign, LBank strikes a balance between early opportunity and security."
Looking ahead, LBank plans to expand its comprehensive ecosystem with AI-enhanced screening and global partnerships, including its sponsorship of the Argentine National Team, to capture what it calls "the next memecoin supercycle." The exchange serves over 20 million registered users across 160+ countries and regions with a daily trading volume exceeding $10.5 billion.
