Lighter coin (LIT), which runs on the Ethereum ERC-20 standard, has recently been making a splash in the cryptocurrency market amid fluctuating debates about its $2B–$3B valuation following an airdrop. Notably, LIT was listed on cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase as its price neared $3, contributing to a strong debut. Predictions for LIT reaching $5 by February 2026 have been put forward, bolstered by plans for mandatory staking of LIT coin on the decentralized
Lighter exchange (DEX).
The role of LIT Coin in Web3 and ERC-20 tokens has been highlighted, and cryptocurrency titan Justin Sun caused a stir with his investment in the coin.
The launch of LIT Coin saw a 25% airdrop, attracting investors and prompting a strong surge in its price, as well as the value of the company’s holdings in the coin due to selling restrictions for airdropped tokens. Following a significant pull-out of $250M a mere 24 hours after a massive $675M token airdrop, a tumultuous period followed.
The news about the distribution of LIT tokens, including a 50% allocation for ecosystem and airdrop purposes, prompted strategic buyback teasers leading to double-digit gains. As expected, this sparked heated debates in crypto markets about the proper valuation of LIT Coin.
Amid these discussions, Lighter is also launching a stablecoin on Ethereum designed to streamline mortgage lending, drawing both positive and negative attention from various market participants.
Interest in LIT was further ignited after its token swap and rebranding to Heima (HEI) on Binance was complete. Despite some bearish market responses, LIT Coin has shown resilience with its recent moves and strategic partnerships, sparking intense speculation coupled with a hopeful outlook.
