Lighter founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski stated during the Q3 investor meeting: "We are currently pursuing licenses as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). We have spent extensive time communicating with staff at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to align with all its core principles. Many of these principles already have clear correspondences with how Lighter implements them on-chain. For other principles, we have developed entirely new approaches that are unprecedented for regulators, and they are now investing significant time engaging with us to understand how these work. Our next plan is to formally submit these license applications next month. Regulators then have a maximum of 280 days to review them. Since we have completed all this preparatory work, we believe the subsequent process will go smoothly. We are very much looking forward to obtaining these licenses in the U.S. and opening our platform to the American market—not for retail users, but for institutional clients." Earlier, LIT saw a price drop amid news that Robinhood launched perpetual contracts in the U.S. using Bitstamp. At the time, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told reporters that the decision not to select Lighter was due to regulatory structure. Novakovski’s remarks at the investor meeting have reignited community speculation that Lighter could collaborate more closely with Robinhood once it becomes compliant. According to HTX market data, driven by these remarks, LIT rose as much as 15% in 24 hours and is currently trading at $3.76.
Lighter’s LIT token has climbed more than 20% to around $3.90 as attention has returned to its Robinhood Wallet partnership and Delphi Digital’s assessment of the exchange.
Summary
Robinhood announced the wallet integration in July, months before the latest token rally. 11 million LIT tokens were allocated to a rewards program for eligible traders. Delphi included Lighter in its research on businesses earning revenue from speculative trading. U.S. residents remain excluded from Lighter perpetual futures offered through Robinhood Wallet. CoinGecko showed LIT at $3.88, up 21.3% over 24 hours, with token trading volume of roughly $125.5 million. Its price page listed a daily range of $3.21 to $3.97 and a market capitalization near $974.4 million.
Against other major cryptocurrencies, the main panel showed LIT gaining 18.3% in Bitcoin terms and 17.6% against Ether. CoinGecko listed a circulating supply of 250 million tokens against a maximum supply of 1 billion.
Lighter’s Robinhood integration dates to July Robinhood announced access to Lighter perpetual futures inside its self-custody wallet on July 1. The company limited the service to eligible users in selected jurisdictions when it introduced the product.
The integration arrived alongside the Robinhood Chain mainnet launch, an Ethereum layer-2 network built using Arbitrum technology. Robinhood presented the rollout at its London event, as crypto.news previously reported.
Robinhood’s announcement allocated 11 million LIT tokens to its community through a points program. Eligible participants earn twice the points for perpetual futures trades through Robinhood Wallet compared with trades through Lighter’s web application, with points converting into tokens subject to the exchange’s terms.
A July 17 account of the Robinhood Wallet perpetuals partnership described USDG as both the collateral and the currency in which contracts are priced. It put the revenue split between Robinhood and Lighter at 50/50.
The same account traced the companies’ financial relationship to November 2025, when Robinhood Ventures participated in Lighter’s $68 million funding round at a valuation of roughly $1.5 billion. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev serves as an adviser to the exchange, according to that account.
Delphi places Lighter in its trading-platform thesis Delphi Digital discussed Lighter in an Oct. 20 report examining speculative trading businesses and the platforms that earn revenue from them. The research placed the exchange alongside Hyperliquid in its discussion of perpetual futures venues.
Using DefiLlama figures dated Oct. 6, the report listed approximately $56 billion in Lighter trading volume over 30 days. Comparable figures in the research were $203 billion for Hyperliquid, $66 billion for Variational and $60 billion for Aster.
Delphi cautioned that some activity across the category comes from traders farming incentives. Its chart noted that Lighter’s figure appeared to include the Robinhood Chain integration.
The researchers described Lighter as an order-book exchange using zero-knowledge proofs to verify matching, with ordinary accounts trading without fees. Their account listed stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange alongside cryptocurrencies among the venue’s markets.
With retail trading free, Delphi tied the business’s revenue opportunities to premium accounts and distribution agreements. The report described the Robinhood arrangement as a revenue-sharing deal operating outside the United States since July.
Robinhood’s disclosures exclude U.S. residents Robinhood’s product disclosures say Lighter perpetual futures are unavailable to residents of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Singapore, alongside other restricted jurisdictions.
The company states that users execute transactions directly through their self-custody wallets and Lighter’s smart contracts. Robinhood Non-Custodial supplies wallet-management services for that interaction, according to the disclosures.
The July launch account separately described Robinhood’s Stock Tokens as debt securities providing economic exposure to underlying equities. Holders do not receive ownership of the underlying shares or voting rights, according to the company’s explanation.
Robinhood said eligible users could trade those tokens around the clock and use them across decentralized applications, including lending services and collateral arrangements.
Lighter’s latest developer release remains a devnet Away from the wallet partnership, Axiom announced a public Lighter EVM development network on Oct. 16. The release connects an Ethereum-compatible environment with Lighter Core, its order-matching and risk engine.
Axiom said smart contracts can read account balances, positions, orders, and market information through the connection. Contracts can submit, change, and cancel trading orders through asynchronous instructions that execute in seconds.
The Oct. 16 account of the Lighter EVM devnet release described one-second blocks, ETH gas payments, and support for Ethereum development tools including Foundry, Hardhat, Viem, and Ethers.
The launch post said developers could deposit assets from the devnet settlement layer, transfer them between Core and EVM, and withdraw to that settlement layer.
Lighter’s developer documentation identified limits in the test environment, including mocked proofs for settlement finalization and an asset-recovery mechanism that was not fully functional. Requests to read Core data worked only at the latest block, with historical reads planned for a later update.
Axiom said developers were being admitted in groups and could review public documentation and bridge-contract code while applying for access. The team planned to open the network to all developers in the following weeks.
Bitwise uvedl na burze Deutsche Börse Xetra Lighter Staking ETP pod tickerem BLIT, který dává evropským investorům přístup k LIT přes běžný makléřský účet. Fond drží asi 1,01 milionu LIT v hodnotě 4,74 milionu dolarů.
Bitwise has launched its first exchange traded product tracking Lighter’s LIT token on Deutsche Börse Xetra, giving European investors access to the asset through conventional brokerage accounts.
Summary
Bitwise has launched its Lighter Staking ETP on Deutsche Börse Xetra, giving European investors access to LIT through regular brokerage accounts. BLIT held roughly $4.74 million in assets backed by 1.01 million LIT at launch, making its current holdings small compared with LIT’s overall market value. LIT traded around $5 on Sept. 23 after gaining close to 9% over 24 hours, though the token was already moving higher before the ETP launch. The ETP could create more demand for LIT if it attracts sustained inflows, but its current size limits the immediate effect on the token’s supply. Staking has not started and will only begin once BLIT reaches sufficient assets under management, with Bitwise yet to disclose the required threshold. According to Bitwise, the Bitwise Lighter Staking ETP began trading under the ticker BLIT on Sept. 23 and tracks the Kaiko Lighter Reference Rate. The product carries an annual total expense ratio of 0.85% and is issued by Bitwise Europe GmbH in Germany.
Bitwise Lighter ETP holds more than 1 million LIT BLIT is physically backed by LIT held in cold storage, meaning the product holds the underlying cryptocurrency instead of providing synthetic exposure to its price.
Bitwise data showed 202,594 ETP units outstanding as of Sept. 23, backed by 1.01 million LIT. Assets under management stood at approximately $4.74 million, with each ETP unit representing just under 5 LIT.
The structure allows investors to gain exposure to LIT using a regular brokerage account without directly holding the cryptocurrency or managing private keys and wallets.
LIT serves as the native token of Lighter, an Ethereum layer 2 decentralized exchange focused on perpetual futures and other onchain markets. The platform uses zero knowledge proofs to verify order matching and liquidations while processing transactions away from Ethereum before submitting proofs to the network.
Lighter has expanded beyond crypto perpetuals by offering markets tied to assets such as Apple, Amazon and Tesla shares. Users gain price exposure through perpetual contracts instead of owning the underlying stocks.
The exchange generates revenue from professional market makers, liquidations and treasury income while charging retail traders no trading fees.
Lighter has become one of the more active platforms in the decentralized perpetual futures market. During a major crypto market selloff in February, the exchange processed roughly $7.5 billion in perpetual futures volume over 24 hours, accounting for close to 9.5% of activity tracked across the sector.
Could the Bitwise ETP impact Lighter price? The launch gives LIT another potential source of demand because BLIT is backed by the underlying token, but the size of the product remains small compared with LIT’s overall market value.
Bitwise held 1.01 million LIT worth $4.74 million for BLIT as of Sept. 23. CoinGecko placed LIT’s market capitalization at roughly $1.27 billion on the same day, while trading volume stood near $84.7 million.
BLIT therefore represents a small portion of the existing LIT market at launch. Its effect on supply could become more noticeable if the ETP attracts sustained inflows that require more tokens to back newly created units.
LIT was already trading higher around the launch. CoinGecko data showed the token at roughly $5 on Sept. 23, with its value in several currency pairs up close to 9% over the previous 24 hours. LIT had closed Sept. 21 near $4.74 before moving to $5.07 on Sept. 22.
The timing means the ETP listing has arrived during an existing move in LIT, making it difficult to attribute the token’s gains solely to Bitwise’s product.
Previous developments have shown that new distribution channels can coincide with LIT price moves. When Lighter added Robinhood Chain collateral support, LIT gained roughly 15%, while the integration gave eligible Robinhood Wallet users direct access to Lighter perpetual futures.
A similar access point opened in August when Upbit added a LIT won market, allowing customers to buy the token directly against South Korea’s currency.
Supply remains another factor. LIT launched with 25% of its total supply distributed through a community airdrop. Half of the overall token supply was allocated to the ecosystem, while 26% went to the team and 24% to investors. Team and investor allocations were placed under a one year lockup followed by three years of linear vesting.
Bitwise’s current holdings are therefore small compared with the amount of LIT that could enter circulation under the token’s longer term distribution schedule.
Staking has not started for BLIT Despite its name, the Bitwise Lighter Staking ETP is not currently staking the LIT backing the product.
Bitwise said staking will begin only after BLIT reaches sufficient assets under management to make staking operations efficient. The company has not disclosed the required asset level or a date for activation.
Until then, BLIT provides exposure only to LIT’s price, while investors continue to pay the product’s 0.85% annual fee.
If staking begins, rewards earned by the ETP are expected to accrue daily and be reflected in the amount of cryptocurrency represented by each unit. Bitwise said it will announce the start of staking separately.
LIT already has staking functions within the Lighter ecosystem. Staking can provide access to the Lighter Liquidity Pool, with each staked LIT allowing users to deposit up to 10 USDC into the pool. Unstaking carries a three day lockup period.
Lighter has tied its token economics to protocol activity as well. The project launched LIT in December with plans to direct protocol revenue between ecosystem growth and token purchases depending on market conditions.
The buyback mechanism has previously coincided with price moves. LIT climbed around 16% when Lighter’s treasury began token buybacks in January, when protocol fees began flowing toward market purchases.
Bitwise expands its onchain trading products BLIT follows Bitwise’s move into investment products tracking tokens connected to decentralized perpetual futures platforms.
The asset manager launched the Bitwise Hyperliquid Staking ETP in Europe in April, giving investors exchange traded exposure to HYPE. Bitwise later introduced a U.S. Hyperliquid ETF in May.
The U.S. product recorded 16 consecutive days of inflows following its launch before posting its first daily outflow in June, showing how flows into exchange traded crypto products can change after their initial trading period. Crypto.news previously reported that the Bitwise ETF created another regulated demand channel for HYPE while exposing the token to changes in ETF flows.
Lighter and Hyperliquid have competed for activity in the decentralized perpetual futures market. Lighter recorded close to $198 billion in 30 day perpetuals volume toward the end of 2025, compared with roughly $166 billion for Hyperliquid at the time.
Bitwise Managing Director and Head of Europe Bradley Duke said the new ETP expands the firm’s European staking products into a platform bringing assets such as U.S. stocks onto blockchain infrastructure.
“As on-chain trading platforms increasingly bridge crypto and mainstream markets, we expect this kind of infrastructure to become more relevant to a broader range of investors,” Duke said.
Lighter founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski said the platform was built to provide institutional grade perpetuals trading onchain using zero knowledge proofs for verifiable execution.
“We’re excited to bring LIT to European investors who don’t yet have a direct way into on-chain markets,” Novakovski said.
BLIT is domiciled in Germany and listed on Deutsche Börse Xetra under ISIN DE000A4AV9T5. Bitwise lists the product as a secured debt security with physical replication, no leverage and no asset lending.
Lighter [LIT] za posledních 24 hodin vzrostl asi o 18 % v rámci integrace do Circle’s chain, Arc a nákupům velryb. Peněženky spojené s velrybami drží téměř 979 000 LIT v hodnotě 4,24 milionu USD.
Lighter [LIT] was up about 18% in the past 24 hours, pushing its market cap above $1.20 billion.
The rally followed a seven-day correction and drew support from whale accumulation, network expansion, and a technical breakout.
However, falling Open Interest raised a sharper question. Was fresh demand driving LIT, or were short sellers being forced out?
Why is Lighter rallying? Analysts like Michael van de Poppe have mentioned Lighter among selective altcoin runners, despite doubts that an altcoin season will ever happen again. This list included Hyperliquid [HYPE], Zcash [ZEC], Venice Token [VVV], and Near Protocol [NEAR].
He noted the selective altcoin season was due to thin liquidity. Michael van de Poppe wrote,
As long as there’s not much liquidity in the markets, you’ll have selective runners. In order to get more liquidity, Bitcoin needs to move higher.
But the liquidity question might have been addressed. The DEX was integrated into Circle’s chain, Arc, allowing traders and builders to deposit assets directly into Lighter from Arc. Bearing in mind Circle’s USDC business, stablecoin liquidity will eventually flow into the DEX.
Again, whales and retailers were buying the token.
One of the three wallets moving in sync withdrew 208.6K LIT at an average fee of $4.27 from Bybit and OKX but is yet to be staked. Its earlier withdrawals of 770K tokens were staked, bringing its total position to 979K tokens worth $4.24 million.
Source: Arkham Therefore, fundamentals and network activity were bullish. Still, this outlook does not guarantee continuation on the charts.
Can LIT reclaim its $5.30 ATH? LIT broke above a bull flag on the hourly chart, confirming a bullish continuation setup. The price had climbed 12% above the $4.38 breakout level but had not retested that area.
Its next major target was the previous all-time high of $5.30.
Meanwhile, the Chaikin Money Flow [CMF] rose to 0.18, indicating stronger buying pressure. Sustained capital inflows could help LIT retest $5.30. A clean breakout would return the token to price discovery.
Source: LIT/USDT on TradingView Even looking at the Open Interest (OI) of the LIT/USDT perpetual contract on Binance, it reinforces the bullish tendency.
The OI is declining while the price is rising, indicating short covering. That is, traders who had bet the price would drop were buying back the asset to close out their losing positions. This forced buying pushed the price higher.
Final Summary Lighter rallied 18% after ending a seven-day price correction. Arc integration could provide Lighter with another route for stablecoin liquidity. Whale-linked wallets accumulated nearly 979,000 LIT worth $4.24 million.
LIT za posledních 24 hodin vzrostl o 13 % na 4,21 USD a za 30 dní se zdvojnásobil, protože obchodníci vsázejí na možné otevření amerického trhu perpetuals pro Lighter.
LIT rose 13% to $4.21 and has doubled in 30 days as traders position for a U.S. perpetuals opening that Lighter has not applied for. Robinhood order flow now supplies 17% of the exchange's daily volume, against 12% on a 30-day basis, while perp DEX volume across the sector fell 30% over seven days.
Perpetual DEX tokens outran bitcoin over the past month, led by Lighter's LIT, on trader positioning for a U.S. regulatory opening that neither the exchange nor the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has announced.
The bid is regulatory. Volume across perpetual DEXs fell 30.13% over the past seven days to $20.85 billion a day, according to DefiLlama. The one thing measurably growing under Lighter is order flow from Robinhood, and the Robinhood product that produces it is closed to U.S. users.
LIT traded at $4.21 at 20:20 UTC on Thursday, up 13% over 24 hours, 13.8% over seven days and 99.5% over 30 days, for a $1.05 billion market value and a $4.21 billion fully diluted value, according to CoinGecko. The token ranged between $3.69 and $4.33 on $146.7 million of volume and ranks 70th. Bitcoin rose 5.5% over the same 24 hours to $81,492 and 26.9% over 30 days.
Doubling In A MonthThe rally is concentrated in two names. edgeX's EDGE rose 47.5% over 24 hours and 60.4% over seven days to $0.6113, on a $214 million market value and $45.2 million of volume. The exchange traded $1.272 billion over 24 hours and buys back EDGE with platform revenue, having repurchased 4.79% of supply to date, its tokenomics page states.
Hyperliquid's HYPE added 6.1% to $85.99, holding a $19.13 billion market value and trading within 1% of the record $86.71 it set on Aug. 27. Aster's ASTER fell 1.5% to $0.7274, the only decline among the group. GMX rose 3.6%, dYdX 4.1% and Drift 4.2%, each below bitcoin's move.
Over 30 days the ranking separates further: LIT up 99.5%, edgeX up 71% and HYPE up 50.8%, against ASTER at 19.9% and bitcoin at 26.9%. The venues that gained share this year carried the move; the 2021-era perpetual protocols did not.
No Filing, No DocketLighter founder Vladimir Novakovski holds one of the 43 seats on the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee, which the agency named in 2026 and convened for the first time on Aug. 20. The agency's readout of that meeting lists crypto's regulatory evolution, artificial intelligence and compute in derivatives markets, and prediction markets. Perpetual futures do not appear on it.
No public CFTC docket names Lighter, and the exchange has not filed to register as a designated contract market. Its committee seat carries no trading authorization.
The sector-wide opening is real. The CFTC issued a policy statement on listing perpetual contracts in June and followed with staff letter 26-19, a no-action position letting registered exchanges convert perpetual-style digital commodity futures into true perpetuals by dropping expiration dates. The Defiant covered the first U.S.-regulated bitcoin perpetual futures approval and Kraken and Coinbase bringing perps onshore. None of it names Lighter.
President Donald Trump said on Aug. 20 that CFTC Chairman Michael Selig was working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. "in a fully compliant and legal fashion." The Defiant reported at the time that no docket had opened and no registration application had been filed. LIT gained 59.5% over the two weeks that followed.
Hyperliquid's Named PathHyperliquid has a named counterparty with a license. Bloomberg reported on Aug. 31 that Hyperliquid Labs and Payward, Kraken's parent, plan to list crypto perpetual contracts on Bitnomial, a CFTC-registered exchange Payward owns, and that Payward has presented an outline of the arrangement to the agency. U.S. traders would reach the contracts through Bitnomial, with no direct connection to Hyperliquid's venue. No launch date or terms have been announced, and the structure would not give Hyperliquid U.S. exchange status.
Lighter has announced no equivalent arrangement.
Robinhood's Growing ShareRobinhood launched its chain's mainnet on July 1 with perpetual futures inside Robinhood Wallet powered by Lighter, running on a dedicated Lighter instance built for Robinhood Chain that uses USDG as its quote asset. Robinhood committed 11 million LIT to the community and pays Wallet traders double the points they earn on Lighter's own web app. The product excludes users in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Switzerland, the UAE and Singapore.
That instance traded $240 million over 24 hours, $1.735 billion over seven days and $5.205 billion over 30 days, against $5.306 billion since DefiLlama began tracking it on Jul. 20, its data shows. Ninety-eight percent of its lifetime volume came in the past month.
Set against Lighter's totals of $1.416 billion, $11.324 billion and $44.908 billion over the same windows, Robinhood supplied 16.9% of Lighter's volume over 24 hours, 15.3% over seven days and 11.6% over 30 days, per The Defiant's calculation from DefiLlama data. Deposits on the Robinhood instance rose from $10.4 million on Jul. 20 to $57.5 million on Thursday. Lighter's total value locked reached $655.4 million, up 24.9% from $524.6 million on Aug. 5, with open interest at $1.245 billion.
The Defiant reported in July that Robinhood Chain carried more tokenized stock volume than Solana's venues combined, and on Aug. 31 that the chain generated more daily app revenue than Ethereum, at $2.66 million against $1.28 million.
Zero Fees, Thin TakeLighter lists 244 perpetual markets and charged zero maker and taker fees on them, according to its public API. The exchange's own endpoint recorded $1.547 billion of quote volume across 2.03 million trades over 24 hours. BTC accounted for $816.6 million of it, ETH $301.2 million, LIT itself $55.5 million and gold $48.2 million. The HOOD perpetual, tracking Robinhood's own stock, rose 13.3%.
Lighter collected $4.41 million of fees over 30 days, keeping $3.26 million as protocol revenue and directing $2.64 million to token holders. Against $44.908 billion of volume that is a take rate of 0.98 basis points. Hyperliquid earned $68.91 million on $209.814 billion over the same period, or 3.28 basis points, per The Defiant's calculation from DefiLlama data. The Robinhood instance produced $769,998 on $5.205 billion, or 1.48 basis points, monetizing better than Lighter's blended rate.
Lighter buys back LIT with trading fee revenue through daily 24-hour TWAPs and pays stakers a fixed 6% APR with a three-day unstaking lockup, its documentation states. Annualized, the 30-day fee run rate is about $53.7 million against a $4.21 billion fully diluted value.
Hyperliquid remains four to five times larger by every volume measure, at $7.038 billion over 24 hours and $209.814 billion over 30 days, with $13.683 billion of open interest and $6.654 billion of total value locked. Lighter ranks behind Hyperliquid and Aster, which traded $2.465 billion over 24 hours. The Defiant covered Lighter reaching the top of the perp DEX volume table and disclosing a $68 million raise.
LIT za posledních 48 hodin vzrostl o více než 15 % a dostal se nad 3,94 USD, ale stále naráží na hranici 4 USD. Příjmy Lighter v srpnu stouply o 24 % na 2,62 mil. USD a poplatky o 30 % na 3,5 mil. USD.
Lighter [LIT], the native token of the perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX), rallied over 15% in the past 48 hours.
The latest pump lifted the token from below $3.50 to over $3.94. This raised hopes that $5 could be the next target if $4 is cleared. However, the token has struggled to crack above $4 despite an 110% explosive run in August.
Ahead of the Fed rate decision on the 15th of September, the altcoin could extend its sideways structure below $4 despite strong traction on the DEX.
Will Lighter crypto stay below $4, or eye $5? On the daily charts, the token has toiled below $4 since late August. Unsurprisingly, August’s mega rally was due for some cool-off as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit overbought territory.
The ATR (Average True Range, red) has gone flat and begun trending downwards, indicating that the volatility seen in August has eased and tapered. Unless the metric shoots up with strong trading volume, any breakout above $4 could become a “fakeout.”
Source: LIT/USDT, TradingView The sideways thesis could be invalidated if the broader crypto market extends its recovery. In such a scenario, LIT could clear the $4 overhead hurdle and eye $4.50 or $5.1.
Robinhood Chain improves Lighter crypto DEX growth The DEX saw $39B in perp volume in August, a slight increase from $36B seen in July. Part of the traction was from Robinhood integration. Lighter powers perps on Robinhood Wallet. The same infrastructure is behind the perps markets on Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum L2.
Recently, the fintech firm said that perps volume on its platform from Lighter hit $7.3B in two months. This was one of the factors behind the mid-week LIT rally.
Source: X That said, the DEX’s revenue rose 24% from $2.14M to $2.62M amid the renewed traction in August.
Over the same period, the DEX’s fees jumped by 30% from $2.7M to $3.5M. Since most of the revenue goes to LIT buyback, it could boost the altcoin’s uptrend prospects if the traction persists.
Source: DeFiLlama Overall, Lighter has seen strong growth recently, partly due to Robinhood integration. But the token’s plan to clear the $4 overhead hurdle may depend on macro factors.
Final Summary LIT surged 15%, but the $4 overhead roadblock persisted ahead of the Fed rate decision. Lighter revenue increased by 24% to $2.6M in August and could boost LIT buyback.

Lighter spustil pravidelný čtvrtletní burn LIT a dosud odkoupil přes 16 milionů tokenů. Cílem je snížit obíhající nabídku a podpořit udržitelnost ekosystému.
The decentralized perpetual futures exchange Lighter (LIT) has announced significant steps to strengthen its token economy. In a statement made on the social media platform X, exchange founder Vladimir Novakovski reported that over 16 million LIT tokens have been repurchased to date and that a regular quarterly token burning program has recently been officially launched.
Novakovski stated that the buyback program is part of a long-term strategy to reduce the circulating supply of the LIT token. He added that regular token burns will also be implemented with the same goal in mind, saying that this mechanism aims to support the sustainability of the ecosystem.
Lighter’s CEO also emphasized that there were no changes to the company’s issuance structure before or after the Token Generation Event (TGE). Novakovski noted that while existing investors were offered the opportunity to sell their shares or tokens, the majority chose to hold onto their positions. He stated that this is a significant indicator of confidence in the project.
In his statement, Novakovski addressed not only Lighter’s token economy but also regulatory developments in the US. He stated that the expected changes to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) regulatory framework regarding digital assets, as outlined in the CLARITY Act currently before Congress, are critically important for the sector.
According to the founder, once these regulations are finalized, blackchain-based fundraising methods and the tokenization of shares could rapidly become widespread. Novakovski stated that such a transformation would create a stronger bridge between both traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets, and he expects blackchain capital markets to grow significantly in the coming years.

Velrybí aktivita u Lighter i Mantle dosáhla šestiměsíčního maxima. $LIT po integraci do Robinhood Wallet vzrostl o 24 % a obchoduje se poblíž 2,70 USD, zatímco $MNT zůstává kolem 0,43 USD.
Large-wallet activity on @Lighter_xyz and @Mantle_Official just hit its highest level in six months, according to on-chain analytics firm @SantimentData. Lighter recorded 86 transactions worth more than $100,000, while Mantle registered 37 such transactions, marking the highest daily whale activity for both tokens in the past six months.
Although whale transaction metrics do not distinguish between buying and selling, they are widely viewed as indicators of heightened activity by large holders, and such spikes often coincide with periods when institutional investors or high-net-worth wallets reposition their portfolios ahead of significant market moves.
$LIT catches a Robinhood catalyst The surge in $LIT whale activity follows a major product integration. @RobinhoodApp Wallet now offers in-app perpetual futures trading, with the engine underneath being @Lighter_xyz, the rising zk-powered perps exchange atop Ethereum. Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 built using Arbitrum's tech stack, went live on public mainnet on July 1, with the Lighter perps integration arriving alongside it. Lighter has committed $11 million of its native $LIT tokens to the Robinhood community as part of the deal, and eligible users earn points on perpetual futures trades on Lighter, converting directly into $LIT, with no fees on perpetuals accessed through Lighter for the first 90 days.
$LIT surged 24% as Robinhood Wallet added Lighter's perpetual futures trading. The token has since climbed further to trade near $2.70, a fresh high. As an exchange based in America with its token issued out of a Delaware C-corp, Lighter has a cleaner path into regulatory approval than offshore-first competitors, adding to the longer-term investment case behind the whale positioning.
$MNT whales accumulate but price stays stuck The picture for @Mantle_Official is more mixed. Whale transaction counts matched the six-month high, yet the price response has been muted. Mantle remains in a broader downtrend, with $MNT trading near $0.43 after failing to reclaim the key $0.57 resistance, and while the RSI has recovered from oversold conditions, momentum remains weak and buyers have yet to confirm a trend reversal.
For $MNT to validate the recent whale activity, the token must first reclaim $0.57, which could pave the way toward $0.94 and eventually $1.08. Mantle continues to benefit from its expanding Layer 2 ecosystem and one of the largest community-controlled treasuries in the crypto market, and ongoing ecosystem development, DeFi incentives, and long-term infrastructure growth may be encouraging whales to accumulate positions while prices remain significantly below previous highs.
For now, the divergence is stark. Lighter has a clear narrative driving price alongside the whale flows. Mantle has the accumulation signal but is still waiting for a price catalyst to match it.

Lighter (LIT) vyskočil o více než 20 % na 2,6 USD po úpravě tokenomiky, která zavádí trvalé spalování a nový staking model. Burza už odkoupila asi 15,5 milionu LIT.
Lighter (LIT) surged more than 20% on Monday to $2.6, its highest level since January, after the perpetuals exchange unveiled a tokenomics overhaul that adds permanent burns and a revamped staking model.
The move made LIT the top gainer among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies. It extended a rally that has lifted the token roughly 40% over the past week, far outpacing the broader market.

Lighter Introduces Tokenomics UpdateLighter has bought back LIT with exchange revenue after its token launch. The exchange said it has repurchased about 15.5 million LIT, or roughly 6.3% of the circulating supply. Lighter said it plans to use the buybacks to permanently reduce the LIT supply through burns.
The burns will run by sending LIT to a burn address on the Ethereum (ETH) mainnet. Lighter plans its first burn in the weeks after the second quarter closes. It noted it may burn undistributed LIT rather than the exact repurchased tokens.
“This is economically equivalent for LIT holders and allows Lighter to manage treasury operations efficiently and avoid unnecessary costs,” the exchange said.
Staking Rewards Shift to ReserveLighter also changed how it funds staking rewards. Since launching its staking program in January, it has distributed about 3.72 million LIT using pre-TGE revenue, including roughly 170,000 LIT through its fee credits program.
That approach is ending. The exchange will now fund staking rewards using its remaining ecosystem tokens, which total 250 million LIT.
The protocol is targeting a 6% annualized staking yield. With about 125 million LIT currently staked, that would distribute roughly 7.5 million LIT per year.
LIT still trades well below its $7.86 record set in December. Whether the new model sustains demand may hinge on trading revenue holding up in the months ahead.

The perpetuals exchange will start burning the LIT it buys with revenue and tap its token reserve to keep staking yields flowing.
Lighter, one of the largest decentralized perpetuals exchanges by trading volume, said it will start permanently burning the LIT tokens it buys back with exchange revenue and will fund staking rewards from its ecosystem token reserve.
Lighter has bought back about 15.5 million LIT — roughly 6.3% of circulating supply — using exchange revenue since its token generation event, the company said in an X post Tuesday. Those tokens will now be withdrawn from the exchange and sent to a burn address on Ethereum mainnet, with the first burn set for the weeks after the end of the second quarter.
Separately, Lighter will begin paying staking rewards from its remaining ecosystem tokens, targeting an initial 6% annualized yield. With about 125 million LIT staked, that yield would distribute roughly 7.5 million LIT a year from a remaining reserve of 250 million.
The changes pull in two directions on supply. Burning bought-back tokens removes them from circulation, while paying staking yield from the reserve releases tokens that were not yet circulating, partly offsetting the burns. The update also answers requests from holders for clarity on what happens to the LIT the protocol repurchases, a recurring question across perpetuals exchanges that run buybacks.
Lighter briefly overtook Hyperliquid in monthly perpetuals volume around its December launch, when airdrop incentives pulled traders to its zero-fee order book. Activity has since cooled as those incentives wound down, which puts more weight on whether the token's economics can sustain demand on their own.
LIT rose about 2% over 24 hours and is up roughly 20% over the past week and about 39% over the past 30 days, outpacing Bitcoin, which fell almost 3% over the past day and about 20% over the past month, according to CoinGecko. The token trades near $1.84, about 77% below its record high. Its market capitalization is around $461 million; its fully diluted valuation, which counts the full one billion token supply against the 250 million now circulating, is roughly $1.84 billion.
Buybacks Become BurnsLighter had been buying LIT on the open market with exchange revenue since its token launch at the end of December, but had not committed to destroying the tokens. It said Tuesday that the buybacks will now reduce supply permanently through burns, executed by sending LIT to an Ethereum burn address.
The exchange flagged one mechanical caveat: the tokens it burns may be undistributed LIT rather than the exact tokens it repurchased, an approach it said is economically equivalent for holders and cheaper to administer.
The buybacks are funded by trading activity. Lighter has generated about $2.87 million in protocol revenue over the past 30 days and roughly $53 million since launch, according to DefiLlama.
Continued Exchange RevenueThe burn program depends on continued exchange revenue to fund the buybacks, and revenue has been modest relative to the token's valuation.
Funding staking from the 250 million-token reserve also draws down a finite pool; that reserve could deplete faster if revenue weakens or staking participation climbs, and the 6% target is not fixed.
Lighter said it will execute the first burn in the weeks after the close of the second quarter, a milestone holders will be able to verify onchain.
Staking Shifts to the ReserveLighter launched its staking program in January and has distributed about 3.72 million LIT to stakers so far, including roughly 170,000 LIT from a fee-credits program.
Those rewards were bootstrapped with pre-launch revenue while exchange income was directed entirely toward buybacks. Effective immediately, the protocol will instead draw on ecosystem tokens, which it said is a more aligned use because the rewards flow to holders with the longest time horizons.
The targeted 6% yield is denominated in LIT and can be adjusted at the team's discretion based on market conditions, protocol performance and sustainability, Lighter said. At about 125 million LIT staked, roughly half of circulating supply is committed to the program.
Lighter laid out four priorities for managing its treasury going forward: rewarding long-term stakers, reducing supply through burns, preserving tokens for future partnerships and growth programs, and stewarding the reserve for long-term value. The company said its ecosystem tokens exist to grow the protocol, deepen liquidity and reward users.
Upbit přidal devět nových obchodních párů včetně PEAQ, LIT, KMNO, MORPHO, GRAM, LDO, PAXG, OSMO a AMP v párech s BTC a USDT, přičemž AMP byl zalistován pouze v páru s USDT. PEAQ po zalistování vzrostl asi o 21,9 %, zatímco GRAM klesl o 2,75 %.
South Korea’s dominant crypto exchange just added nine fresh trading pairs, and the market reactions are already telling a familiar story: some tokens pop, others drop, and everyone scrambles to figure out which side they’re on.
Upbit began listing PEAQ, LIT, KMNO, MORPHO, GRAM, LDO, PAXG, OSMO, and AMP on June 19, rolling them out in staggered intervals starting at 15:00 KST. Each token received BTC and USDT trading pairs, with one exception: AMP was listed exclusively against USDT.
Staggered launch, mixed results The rollout was methodical. PEAQ and LIT went live first at 15:00, followed by KMNO and MORPHO at 16:00. GRAM, LDO, and PAXG opened at 18:00, with OSMO and AMP closing out the schedule at 19:00.

PEAQ was the clear early winner, posting an intraday gain of roughly 21.9%. Not everyone got the same treatment. GRAM, which is the rebranded version of Toncoin (TON) following a name change effective June 15, declined about 2.75%. LIT slipped by approximately 1.68%.
The tokens: a quick primer PEAQ is a decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN, token built for machine economies. LIT, the native token of Litentry, focuses on decentralized identity aggregation. KMNO powers Kamino Finance, a DeFi protocol on Solana. MORPHO is the governance token of Morpho, a lending protocol optimizer that sits on top of existing DeFi lending platforms like Aave and Compound.
GRAM, as mentioned, is the newly rebranded TON. The rebrand took effect just four days before the Upbit listing, making this the token’s first major exchange debut under its new identity. LDO is Lido DAO’s governance token, one of the most well-known liquid staking protocols in crypto.
PAXG is Paxos Gold, a tokenized representation of physical gold, backed one-to-one by London Good Delivery gold bars. OSMO is the native token of Osmosis, a decentralized exchange in the Cosmos ecosystem. AMP is the collateral token for the Flexa payments network.
Samsung, Dunamu, and the bigger picture These listings don’t exist in a vacuum. They arrive alongside a significant corporate development: Samsung affiliates recently concluded a $408 million acquisition of a 4% stake in Dunamu, Upbit’s parent company. That deal puts Dunamu’s implied valuation at roughly $10.2 billion based on that 4% stake.
Previous listings, including SPX6900 in a recent batch, prompted considerable volume increases on the exchange.
