take a look at the real situation with LIT over the past few days, backed by real data, not wishful thinking or cherry-picked examples \* over the last week, airdrop wallets moved \~$25M worth of LIT, but only \~6% of that (!) happened in the last 24h despite a 14% price dip \* top

don't think there'll be any big "implications for the space or risk appetite for alts" yet, like c'mon, the LIT token's barely 10 days old, liquidity is still drying out from perps, a lot of airdrop holders are still have tokens, and most activity is just leveraged perp trading

if you checked out Lighter today, it's obvious something's coming SOON makes me wonder what will actually be staked, LIT or maybe ETH (?), and what the perks will be. will we finally earn some yield on LIT (in LIT?) or is it just a gated access to new features like a LP or new

Lighter mobile app is being actively tested, and you're not excited yet? looks like the team's polishing final touches and collecting feedback from testers, public release is almost here! could happen as soon as this week, and pretty much guaranteed before the month ends

turns out nobody's killing CT on X after all! X is rolling out smart hashtags that let you track real-time financial data straight from the timeline, charts right in your feed, and from the screenshots it even looks like buy/sell could be integrated. and if people start using it,

so the Lighter team is stacking and stacking LIT with buybacks, atm they've got 525k $LIT and $1.2m USDC in the buyback account seems like they're playing it smart: waiting for price dips to trigger buybacks. they can scoop up big volumes from impatient sellers without

so the staging subdomain stuff from a few days ago ended up being real. more spot assets are live on Lighter spot now: AAVE, UNI, LINK, SKY, LDO. only USDT from staging is missing, but that's not really a defi coin anyway, right also like the balanced rollout, not only equity

another metadao sale (Ranger) wrapped up today, and for the stats (tbh i care more about the polymarket moves than the actual sale): \~$87m was committed, $8m actually raised, 8 out of 15 ranger polymarkets resolved in yes holders' favor this time we saw a slightly different

gm

turns out spamming a thousand "gm" and low-effort replies, then bragging about "1k replies a day", wasn't the best strategy

LIT's numbers since TGE speak for themselves, strong gains across pairs show Lighter's actually delivering

also another upgrade (not officially announced yet), but an important one, and already live on mainnet (you can check it out) Lighter's internal accounts now have more account abstraction, letting users log in with multi-sig or smart wallets! this is clearly a very useful

Lighter keeps expanding its equity perps lineup, recently added $MSTR, $BMNR, and $CRCL, all with up to 10× leverage that brings the total to 13 equity perps tradable on the platform right now interesting that they're starting 2026 by adding new equity products rather than

just noticed something interesting in the Lighter staging environment: you can now deposit $AAVE, $LDO, $UNI, $SKY, $LINK, and $USDT straight from Ethereum L1! so, does this mean they'll all be on the spot market on main soon?

metadao sales are back! after about a two-month break, they're live again with the ranger ico and, of course, a fresh polymarket on commitments too! looking at past sales: avici ($34m), loyal ($30m), zklsol ($14m), paystream ($6m), solomon ($102m) usually the pattern is pretty

Lighter team keeps rolling out improvements almost every day, now equity perp markets are live 24/5 on mainnet (closed only on weekends). before, they just followed u.s. trading hours, but 24/7 trading for these markets is coming soon! this is a pretty big deal, because trading

\~8% bond

interesting move spotted a few hours ago on the "MicroStrategy Bitcoin purchase" polymarket a wallet registered back in December, silent for 28 days (after a single win on the MicroStrategy market), suddenly came back a couple of hours ago with a sizable bet! just another sign

Lighter launched $LIT perps a couple of hours ago with 5x leverage, and it's already popping: \~$7M OI and \~$10M volume so far (and rising) and a little bonus: ZERO maker fees on Premium accounts for this market!
