Summary

Lombard Finance officially launched the BARD token on September 18, 2025, at 18:00, enabling token claims and staking. At 19:00, Binance, OKX, Bybit, and Upbit listed BARD for trading, while Coinbase separately announced it would introduce spot trading for the BARD-USD pair once liquidity conditions are met.
