LBank, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a major upgrade to its Omni Futures product and revealed it has surpassed $15 billion in total trading volume for tokenized U.S. stocks. The dual announcements highlight the exchange's aggressive push into both the high-growth memecoin derivatives sector and the burgeoning tokenized equities market.
The Omni Futures upgrade is specifically engineered to accelerate on-chain memecoin trading. The platform now allows users to trade multi-chain memecoin derivatives without needing to switch networks or wallets, effectively removing a significant barrier to entry. Omni Futures currently supports 236 memecoin futures contracts, and the platform has recorded a staggering nearly 700% increase in active user positions over the last 15 days, signaling explosive demand.
Key technical improvements include an optimized asset discovery mechanism that enables high-frequency listings, drastically reducing the latency between a token's on-chain issuance and the availability of its futures contract. LBank states the upgrade enhances execution speed, strategy flexibility, and capital efficiency for traders managing long and short positions on memecoins. "Omni Futures connects on-chain market innovation with professional derivatives infrastructure," said Eric He, Community Angel Officer and Risk Control Adviser at LBank. The exchange positions this product as a bridge between decentralized token creation and immediate centralized derivatives access, consolidating its platform as an on-chain memecoin hub.
In a separate milestone, LBank announced its tokenized U.S. stocks trading volume has exceeded $15 billion. Official data breaks this down into $3.4 billion in spot trading (xStocks) and over $12 billion in U.S. stocks futures volume. The spot volume represents a 13.3% increase since mid-January, while the futures volume has surged 90% since January 10. LBank's xStocks spot market now maintains a stable daily average trading volume exceeding $25 million, which it claims ranks #1 among centralized exchanges for this product category.
"Tokenized U.S. stocks trading is experiencing explosive growth, signaling a fundamental shift toward more open, efficient, and inclusive global markets," commented Eric He. The exchange offers 45 futures trading pairs with up to 50x leverage and is running a trading competition with daily and weekly cash prizes to further drive engagement. Founded in 2015, LBank reports serving over 20 million users with a daily trading volume exceeding $10.5 billion.
