LIT token jumps over 15% as Lighter prepares US license filing
Lighter's LIT token rose more than 15% after the decentralized exchange signaled it is preparing to file for a US license. A potential CFTC approval would open US institutional access to the platform and could shift how regulators treat decentralized exchanges. Traders are pricing in the possibility that a US-regulated venue gives LIT a durable demand driver, though the filing is not yet confirmed.
