  • The Lighter team allocates 50% LIT token to the ecosystem, 26% to the team, and 24% to investors.
  • LIT token surges on the daily chart and pre-market trading.

Lighter, an Ethereum-based decentralized perps exchange, has announced the launch of its native token, LIT. This announcement precedes its long-awaited token generation event.

LIT Structure, Vision, and Use Cases

Lighter unveiled its Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT) in a thread post on X. The decentralized perp exchange described the structure of the token, broader vision, and roadmap of use cases.

According to the announcement, the token is allocated between the ecosystem, team, and investors. The Lighter ecosystem will receive 50% of the token supply, while the remaining 50% will go to the team and investors. 

The breakdown is 26% for the team and 24% for investors. All Lighter team members and investors have a 1-year unlock and 3-year linear vesting.

For the Lighter ecosystem, the 50% token allocation includes an immediate airdrop to participants in the first two points seasons of 2025. This represents 25% of the fully diluted value.

The remaining 25% of the ecosystem allocation will fund future points seasons, partnerships, and growth initiatives.

The Lighter team added that LIT holders will fully receive the value created by all Lighter products and services. The team also confirmed they are building the U.S, and issued the token directly from their C-Corp.

According to Lighter, revenues from their core DEX product, future products, and services can be tracked in real-time onchain. The plan is to allocate between growth and buybacks depending on market conditions.

The team added that its infrastructure for financial transactions and fairness verification will be tiered based on LIT staking. 

They also emphasized that they are long-term builders who plan to maximize the long-term value created. They further pointed out that LIT helps to accelerate the execution of their vision, with alignment between traders, institutions, other developers, and investors. 

Some Lighter strategic partners include Robinhood and Coinbase. Also note that Lighter has also helped to boost Ethereum transaction speed, as we reported earlier.

LIT-USDC Trading Pair Goes Live

Lighter officially launched the LIT-USDC trading pair early Tuesday, December 30, 2025. As of this writing, the LIT token traded around $3.0, up 12.4% over the past 24 hours. However, the token is still down slightly from its pre-market price of about $3.25.

Lighter launched its public mainnet in October and has since become one of the largest perps exchanges. In November, it recorded $292.5 billion in trading volume, surpassing Aster and Hyperliquid. Aster came behind with $259.2 billion, while Hyperliquid recorded $243.6 million.

Lighter has demonstrated strong momentum, raising $68 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital. Additionally, it expanded beyond perpetuals by rolling out spot trading in early December.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
