Upbit will list Lighter's LIT in a KRW market at 13:00 KST on August 24, 2026, citing a LIT/BTC closing price of 0.00004500 BTC (~4,803 KRW) as a reference; initial trading will use limit orders for two hours, buy orders will be halted for five minutes, sells will be restricted if price drops more than 10%, and deposits/withdrawals are limited to the Ethereum network with Travel Rule and proof-of-ownership checks. LIT is the utility token for Lighter’s DeFi perpetual DEX, staking allows up to 10 USDC per staked LIT with a three-day lockup and 25% of supply went to airdrops while 50% supports the ecosystem, so the Upbit CEX listing should increase adoption and liquidity but short-term volatility will be constrained by exchange controls.

The Upbit platform will be listing a Korean won market for the LIT token from the Lighter project at 1:00 p.m. KST on August 24. The token is currently available for exchange against Bitcoin, which will serve as a basis for pricing. According to Upbit, the LIT/BTC closing price was 0.00004500 BTC, which equals about 4,803 Korean won. However, this number is merely a trading guide and has nothing to do with the initial price of LIT.

How Does LIT Connect Staking With Lighter’s Liquidity Pool?

Lighter runs a decentralized perpetual futures exchange on the order-book system with the use of cryptographic proofs. LIT is a utility token for Lighter, whereas staking grants access to the Liquidity Pool of Lighter. For now, each staked LIT allows users to deposit up to 10 USDC, with a three-day lock-up period. Stakers can get trading and funding benefits. Lighter gave 25% of LIT to community airdrops and 50% to the Lighter ecosystem.
