Lighter moved 250 million LIT tokens, about 25% of supply, sparking big airdrop talk before the TGE. If split across 12 million points, each could get around 20.8 LIT worth maybe $68 at speculated prices. Network upgrade hits December 21, volume’s exploding, and Polymarket bets point to a late December drop. Lighter, the decentralized perpetual exchange on Solana, just moved 250 million LIT tokens, about 25% of the total supply, sparking big talk about a user airdrop before the token generation event by December 31. Analysts spotted the transfer, and people are guessing these could go to points holders from the program’s seasons. 25% of the lighter token moved to airdrop10 minutes ago 250m $lit tokens were transferred, most likely allocation for @Lighter_xyz user distribution at tge250M tokens / 12M points means ~20.8 tokens per point if the drop is linear. at current @pacifica_fi premarket price… pic.twitter.com/R0ds3zFnkk— fiyalkin (@fiyalkin) December 20, 2025 The points system rewarded trading in Season 1 (private beta January to September 2025, 100,000 to 110,000 users, $550 billion volume, 8.65 million points) and Season 2 (public mainnet October to December, adding 500,000 users for 640,000 to 750,000 total, weekly 250,000 to 600,000 points, no wash trading). With roughly 12 million points out, a straight split of 250 million LIT would mean about 20.8 tokens per point. Market guesses put each at $3 to $5, so points could be worth $58 to $104, or around $68 average per some chatter. Network Upgrade and Timing A network upgrade hits December 21 at 12 UTC, including an airdrop allocation module from past updates. CEO Vladimir Novakovski keeps it mysterious: “The tiger doesn’t let you know in advance when it will appear.” Polymarket bets lean toward a December 29 drop, with insiders wagering on timing and fully diluted value. Trading volume tells the growth story. Daily perps started under $1 billion early 2025, climbed to $2 to $4 billion mid year, then often topped $5 billion from August, peaking $18 to $20 billion single days in October and November. Annualized fees hit $167.9 million, 30 day volume $248.3 billion, open interest around $1.7 billion. Community discussion mixes excitement and caution. Hexdrunker sees points from $33 low to $150 high. ProMint pegs premarket $3 to $5 per LIT. The 250 million move has everyone watching, could be the airdrop fuel or something else. With the upgrade and TGE looming, Lighter’s year end plans have the whole perp crowd on edge. share TagsAirdroplighter

On-chain data shows that the Lighter team transferred 250 million LIT tokens (approximately 25%) of the total supply of 1 billion tokens from one token contract to another. The fact that this transfer happened recently has reinforced market expectations that this is the share allocated for the first airdrop. The team had previously indicated a 25-30% range for the initial distribution. Pre-market pricing also supports this expectation. In the pre-launch market, Lighter’s fully diluted value (FDV) is priced at approximately $3.3–$3.5 billion, which points to $3.3–$3.5 per LIT. If the 25% carried over was indeed reserved for the airdrop, then at current pre-market prices, the token distribution pool could exceed $800 million. Related News Galaxy Digital, Which Manages Billions of Dollars, Reveals Its Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Predictions for 2026 In terms of airdrop mathematics, a pool of 250 million LIT, assuming a total of 12–12.5 million points, translates to approximately 20–21 LIT per point. This translates to around $66–70 per point, depending on the token price. On the other hand, expectations regarding the launch timing have also begun to become clearer. According to Polymarket data, the probability of Lighter not holding a TGE (Token Generation Event) in 2025 is priced at 35%, while the most likely launch date is December 29, 2025. This scenario, along with expectations of an airdrop, has increased investor interest. *This is not investment advice.

Why Polymarket is wrong about Lighter's valuation Polymarket predicts a Lighter valuation of approximately $3 billion with $23 million in total volume, which is very high. But if you look at the market, you'll see some fundamental inconsistencies. Let's take a closer look. --------- I used a ratio that evaluates the FDV/TVL ratio. TVL is one of the most important metrics for any exchange, both PerpDEX and CEX, indirectly determining the level of trust in the protocol and is more stable than OI. That's why ratios based on it are highly accurate. For example, Hyperliquid's FDV/TVL ratio is 6.64, the highest among PerpDEX exchanges, representing the current leader. However, the ratios of other market players are close, in the range of 5-6. For example, Aster and Apex. Avantis stands out against this backdrop with a valuation of 2.59. We can also estimate the current fair value for some tokenless PerpDEXs - Ostium and Reya. Ostium recently closed a $20M round at a valuation of $250M with a TVL of ~$50M. While this isn't a market valuation, many large VC investors have supported the project, confirming that the current FDV/TVL ratio of 5 is the market average. Similarly, Reya raised $3M in its ICO on Coinlist with a TVL of $30M and a valuation of $50M. The sale closed successfully with 4,000 investors. This can also be considered a fair valuation, with some caveats. These case studies confirm that an FDV/TVL ratio of 5 is a fair market ratio. ---------- Why the coefficients for some PerpDEXs shouldn't be considered 1. Drift - A Solana-based PerpDEX with many other DeFi products in its ecosystem. Solana has little popularity in the PerpDEX space among its users, most of whom are meme-oriented. 2. Jupiter - Same as Drift, but with an even larger scale of products, making it difficult to separate the PerpDEX component of their valuations. 3. dYdX and GMX - ex-leading older PerpDEXs with numerous technical and business issues. These projects have fallen by the wayside of the current PerpDEX trend. 4. MYX - fake metrics and an artificial created valuation resulting in an FDV/TVL of 106. ---------- Fair valuation of Lighter I determined that the average FDV/TVL is 5. Based on this, we can predict that Lighter's valuation should be: $1.45B * 5 = $7.26B But this is only the current valuation. The launch of spot trading will add an additional TVL. - Polymarket values ​​Lighter's TGE at $3B - The team stated that they would distribute 25%-30% for point farming This means that $750M - $900M will enter the market. LIT will most likely be issued as an ERC-20 token, rather than directly into exchange balances like HYPE. This means that 40%-60% will go to Lighter spot, adding at least $400M-$500M, and Lighter's TVL will approach $2B. Because of this, the LIT valuation based on the new data should be: $2B * 5 = $10B. If we apply the HL coefficient to Lighter, its valuation will be $13.2B. P.S. It is very important that LIT go to Lighter and not other CEXs. I'm sure the team has already developed mechanics for this, which we will learn about in the coming weeks. --------- My another analysis confirms that Lighter's valuation should be in the $10B-$12B range. Anything below is buy and hold, IMO. Not Financial Advice
