Dear LCX community,
On May 10th, 2023, we had the most engaging and supportive AMA in our official Telegram chat, where our CEO, Monty C. M. Metzger (@montymetzger) answered questions from the community on various topics related to the platforms, our objectives, upcoming launches, and more. We really appreciate the warm conversation with the community and would like to share the summary of our live Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, moderated by community moderator “King” & “Alex”.
Monty Metzger, CEO
Founded 5 years ago in 2018, LCX has grown from a small team of blockchain and crypto enthusiasts to a global company.
Community Host
Huge??
Monty Metzger, CEO
We’re looking forward to charting new territories in the blockchain and crypto space.
Our future plans are built around three key pillars:
Innovation: We are committed to continuously innovating and upgrading our technology to offer cutting-edge solutions and services. We will continue to embrace emerging trends and technologies, like DeFi and NFTs, to ensure LCX stays at the forefront of the industry.
Partnerships: Building strong partnerships is central to our growth strategy. We will work closely with other industry leaders, regulators, and blockchain projects to create synergies and add value to the crypto ecosystem.
Community Engagement: Our community is our strength, and we aim to foster a more engaged and vibrant LCX community. We plan to roll out more interactive programs and platforms for our users, with the goal of not just educating them, but also hearing their ideas and feedback.
We truly believe that with these strategic plans in place, coupled with the dedication of our team and the continued support from our community, LCX will continue to grow and make a significant impact on the blockchain and crypto industry.

Next question:
“When is the long awaited on-ramp update coming to LCX?”
Community Host
Very huge??
Monty Metzger, CEO
But let me give you some more insights.
It’s clear that LCX has a well-defined vision for the next five years. Embracing the company culture of Integrity, Excellence, and Unity, LCX is perfectly poised to leverage its years of experience as a regulated entity, especially as MiCa regulations come into full effect. This strategic advantage will indeed be instrumental in establishing LCX as the leading crypto exchange in Europe with a significant international presence. I often call this an unfair advantage, which slowed us down at the start but will help establish a complete category of exchange – a next generation crypto exchange.
Community Host
Great!
Monty Metzger, CEO
Besides LCX Exchange we will grow the expansion of LCX’s ecosystem. The ecosystem includes innovative products like Tiamonds, tokenized diamonds. The upcoming Re-Launch is truly exciting not only for asset backed NFTs but also for our community token TIA. It reflects LCX’s commitment to continually pushing boundaries in the blockchain and crypto space. The anticipation for the revolutionary DeFi products is also high, and we can’t wait to hear more about them in the coming weeks.
Monty Metzger, CEO
But let’s kick off this with some huge news.
Something we had been working on for so long. I assume it must have been over 12 months now.
Monty Metzger, CEO
Good things take some time.
Community Host
Definitely yes??
Community Host
@montymetzger this is the second question from @Gin_LCX ?
Monty Metzger, CEO
Super excited to drop this bombshell – we’re launching Credit Card support! That’s right, you can now top up your LCX Exchange wallets instantly with VISA and MasterCard.
Community Host
Nice?
Community Host
This is veeeeeery huuuugeee for $LCX community ?????????
Monty Metzger, CEO
This major step forward enables all users to conveniently and promptly deposit funds into their LCX Exchange wallets. Furthermore, those interested in participating in token sales can use their credit cards for immediate account top-ups, thus facilitating seamless participation in our compliant Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), exclusively launched on LCX.
Monty Metzger, CEO
A sneak peak of what this looks like.
Community Host
Indeed, it’s a major step and a big move??
Community Host
Who will be first? ???
Monty Metzger, CEO
The credit card functionality is enabled on a few accounts, and we are rolling it out in the next couple of days to more and more accounts.
Community Host
$LCX community can’t wait any longer ?
Monty Metzger, CEO
The integration of credit card support and the ability to top up your LCX account with VISA and MasterCard significantly broadens our service offering.
We’re offering this credit and debit card on-ramp feature to 125 additional countries. This means that users from these countries can now make fiat deposits – settled in EUR – and begin trading digital assets instantly using their credit or debit cards. We are supporting credit cards with almost every currency, such as USD, GPB, EUR, TRY, etc. But the transaction is settled in EUR on LCX accounts.
This development allows us to provide an even more comprehensive version of the LCX platform to almost all of our customers globally. Now, our users will have an even more seamless and efficient trading experience, with faster and easier access to digital assets.
Monty Metzger, CEO
We’re continually working to make our platform more accessible and user-friendly, and this is a significant step in that direction. Thank you for your continued support as we work towards making LCX the preferred platform for digital asset trading worldwide.
Community Host
Wow, 125 countries? This is huge???
Community Host
Thanks a lot for this great update.
Community Host
The future of blockchain seems to be pivoting toward tokenization and there have been a lot of talks about it.
In line with the aforementioned, there’s a question from the community related to tokenization.
Community Host
Tell us some more about your vision for tokenization and how the $lcx token will benefit from this wave of asset tokenization. Which assets are you allowed/licensed to tokenize?
Community Host
@montymetzger here is our next question?
Community Host
What adjustments does LCX need to make to be MiCa regulated, if any?
Monty Metzger, CEO
That’s the unfair advantage of LCX I am talking about. LCX has now 3 years of experience being a regulated and compliant platform.
Monty Metzger, CEO
As a regulated entity for years, we’ve been operating in compliance with existing financial regulations, making us well-positioned to adapt to the new MiCa regulatory framework.
Monty Metzger, CEO
The EU has embraced a holistic legislative approach to bolster innovation and safeguard investors in crypto markets, while the US is still grappling with finding a consensus on how to navigate this sector.
Monty Metzger, CEO
Oliver Wyman has just published a good summary about MiCa and the future of crypto regulation. https://www.oliverwymanforum.com/future-of-money/2023/apr/europe-sets-the-pace-on-digital-asset-regulation.html
Monty Metzger, CEO
The European Union became the first major jurisdiction to pass comprehensive cryptoassets legislation on April 20, 2023, when the European Parliament (EP) overwhelmingly approved the Markets in Crypto-assets, or MiCA, regulation.
Monty Metzger, CEO
We are in close contact with regulators. Liechtenstein is already preparing to launch and enforce MiCa legal framework. It is expected in 2024.
Community Host
Awesome, this is just the beginning ?
Monty Metzger, CEO
In this report I am quoted as well.
“Regulation by enforcement like in the US is not a solution,” Decrypt quoted Monty Metzger, CEO of Liechtenstein-based exchange LCX, as saying. “We need rules and guidelines to let technology innovation happen.”
Community Host
Huge, that’s great for the $LCX community ???
Monty Metzger, CEO
Also Decrypt wrote about LCX and our advantage as a regulated platform.
Monty Metzger, CEO
https://decrypt.co/137339/european-parliament-approves-mica-law
Community Host
Thanks for the update, quite interesting?
Monty Metzger, CEO
Decrypt quoted and mentioned only 4 exchanges. Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and LCX.
Community Host
Great?
Monty Metzger, CEO
So we spoke about Product Update with the big news of Credit Card Integration.
Now let’s shift to Community Growth
Community Host
Interesting ??
Community Host
“The zealy competition was amazing, when will you be announcing the winners and will we be seeing more events like this?”
Monty Metzger, CEO
Community engagement and growth are important for us. We did launch 2 new initiatives.
First, we introduced a waitlist feature for upcoming token sales with the first waitlists having more than 200’000 people signed up in the first days.
Second, we introduced our LCX Gemhunter community where we share special rewards and give early access to upcoming Token Sales at LCX Launchpad.
Monty Metzger, CEO
Today we want to share an update on the LCX Gemhunter community.
Community Host
Awesome ??
Monty Metzger, CEO
You can all join and engage as well. You can find the LCX Gemhunter community at https://zealy.io/c/lcx/
Monty Metzger, CEO
We are running several sprints in the coming weeks, and we also concluded the first gemhunter sprints.
![20230510 LCX Sprint 1 Winners](https://www.lcx.com/wp-content/uploads/20230510-LCX-Sprint-1-Winners.jpg)
Monty Metzger, CEO
You have to imagine, this all happened in just over a week.
Monty Metzger, CEO
1,300+ New community members
10,000+ Quests completed
Monty Metzger, CEO
We will be holding 1-2 sprints every month to reward “community efforts”
Community Host
Huge?
Monty Metzger, CEO
Here are our first LCX Gemhunter Comunity sprint winners
Monty Metzger, CEO
The top 10 participants will receive attractive rewards, which are as follows:
– A total of 10,000 LCX tokens will be distributed among the top 10 users, with each winner receiving 1,000 LCX tokens. This will not only serve as an incentive for active participation but also help in building a loyal and committed community.
– Apart from the LCX tokens, winners will also be awarded a special Discord role called “LCX Trailblazer” for the Genesis Sprint at Zealy. This unique role will distinguish them from other members in the community and serve as a badge of honor, acknowledging their efforts and contributions during the sprint.
Monty Metzger, CEO
The discord role was the thing people were most excited about. The role “LCX Trailblazer” is for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership within the community and have paved the way for others.
Monty Metzger, CEO
And to give back to our community, I decided to honour our LCX community here on Telegram as well. We opened up a competition to create an animation, gif or video about LCX.
Community Host
