Why this rank
Why Lombard Staked BTC (LBTC) ranks #2

Record watch-outs
- LBTC is not a 1:1 wrapper and is scored here anyway because buyers shop it against one: one LBTC is one BTC plus accrued strategy yield, and the Chainlink LBTC/BTC feed read 1.00064758 on 2026-09-24. Two costs the fee headline hides: Lombard takes 20% of covered-call strategy gains, subject to a high-water mark, before they reach the exchange rate; and redemption takes up to 10 days, so a holder who needs to leave sooner sells on the secondary market at whatever price it offers.

- Pricing
- Lombard docs fee page (https://
docs .lombard .finance /use /lbtc /fees), read 10 November 2026 (HTTP 200), dated on its face "Last updated on November 2, 2026". Minting: "Amount: 0% (Ethereum mints authorize a small network gas fee)" and "Other chains: No minting fee. Lombard covers gas costs on Base, Solana, Sui, and other supported chains." Redemption: "Amount: 0.0001 LBTC (fixed)", "Applies to: All redemptions on all chains", "This is called the Network Security Fee." Yield: "Amount: 20% of covered-call strategy gains (there is no protocol operating fee)". Worked example (our arithmetic, not a page string): a 1 BTC round trip off Ethereum costs 0 to mint plus 0.0001 LBTC to redeem, before the 20% taken from strategy gains and the up-to-10-day redemption window.Lombard Staked BTC (LBTC) — official pricing page ↗ · 10 November 2026 - Prices published in

2026.11.1Wrapped assets: the published-cost criterion no longer quotes a dollar price for bitcoin- removed Wrapped assets, published dated cost: the sentence giving the bitcoin price of 6 August 2026 from DefiLlama, and the note on recomputing dollar figures at it, leave the criterion text. The bands (9-10, 5-8, 3-4, 1-2) are unchanged and no score moves.

2026.10.10The live-data rule names the researched market measurements a criterion reads- changed The live-data rule names a second kind of figure a score reads: a researched, dated market measurement a criterion's ladder is built on, read again on the 45-day review. /methodology/live-data lists the 14 criteria that read one; no score, rank or order changes.
- changed A saved decision is checked again on the answers the reader saved. The drift check had merged a priority suggested by the market (price swings, gas) into those answers, so a market reading could move a saved decision's #1; the published ranking never read it.
- added On every build a test reads every criterion's published ladder: one that names a market quantity or a market-data source must be declared, and every scored row of a declared criterion must carry the source and the date its figure was read.

2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
