Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, LBank is not available to residents of the United States. LBank's own User Agreement states that it does not provide services to United States persons or entities, so United States residents cannot open or operate an account. Holding crypto is legal in the United States under federal and state oversight, but to trade you should use a platform that serves United States customers and complies with United States rules.
Availability for United States residents
As of 26 June 2026, LBank does not serve residents of the United States. LBank's User Agreement states that it does not provide services to personal accounts of residents of the United States, to entities located in the United States, or to companies established or resident in the United States. The United States is named among the jurisdictions LBank does not support.
Crypto trading in the United States is overseen by several authorities rather than a single regulator. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) addresses assets it treats as securities, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) addresses commodities and derivatives, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) supervises money services businesses for anti money laundering purposes. State regulators add money transmitter licensing.
LBank has not registered to serve United States retail customers within that framework as of 26 June 2026. United States residents who want to trade should choose a platform that is set up to serve the United States and that complies with the relevant federal and state requirements.
What this means for United States residents
Because LBank does not serve the United States, attempting to bypass the restriction, for example with a virtual private network, would breach the User Agreement and can lead to frozen funds or closed accounts. Trying to work around a platform restriction is not a substitute for using a platform that lawfully serves your country.
United States residents have access to a range of exchanges that are registered and set up to serve the United States. Reviewing those platforms is the practical route, rather than seeking access to a platform that excludes United States customers.
How crypto is taxed in the United States
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) treats crypto as property for federal tax purposes, so disposals can create capital gains or losses, and some activity such as certain rewards can be ordinary income. Reporting obligations apply, and treatment depends on personal circumstances.
Rules and forms change, so confirm the current treatment with the Internal Revenue Service or a qualified adviser. See the United States crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice, stated as of 26 June 2026.
