$LIT Pumps 20% in a Week, Real Breakout or Just Hype?
$LIT has been going up all week and is up about 20% today, briefly hitting around $1.46. The move does not look random and there are a few things people are pointing to.
One is talk that Vitalik Buterin mentioned Lighter during a fireside chat, which brought more attention to the project and helped push sentiment higher. Sentiment also improved after Tealstreet added support for Lighter, making it easier for traders to access and trade it.
There is also growing hype around their SpaceX pre IPO perps market launch, which is adding even more attention and speculation around what they are building.
On the fundamentals side, Lighter has raised about $89M and is still seen as one of the stronger perp DEX projects in the market. Trading volume on cex platforms like bitgetis also picking up, which shows more traders are getting involved rather than just low volume movement.
Not sure if this is just short term hype or the start of a bigger move. It could cool off quickly, or it could be early momentum if volume keeps building.
What do you think, is this just a pump or something more lasting?
