CFTC regulates crypto perps. Robinhood uses Lighter as its DEX gateway. Citadel MMs infinite liquidity into Lighter. ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 will be painfully clear in hindsight.

周末去香港参与了 Lighter 的私人饭局,迟到一年,终于见到了 Vlad @vnovakovski 还有几个网上认识的 team 成员。 一起参加的,有几个基金 fund,一些 big trader,还有做市商。其中基金的兴趣在于购入 ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 。 饭局期间,我问了一些极其犀利的问题,拿到了很多一手信息,估计也是社区成员最想听的,来给大家转达一下。 1、美国合规牌照什么时候下来? 快了但不确定。首先大家要知道,CFTC 牌照其实不由 Lighter 团队所决定,而是政府部门什么时间能给批准。Lighter 的目标是 Q4 上了期权之后,同时拿到 CFTC 给的 Perps 和 Options 的牌照。 Lighter 已经与 CFTC 进行了长达 11 个月的合作与澄清,CFTC 已经“完全”认识并理解了 Lighter 的 ZK+Ethereum 技术架构、清算机制、ADL 策略以及 0 fee 的盈利模式等等。可以这样说 —— Lighter 是最最有可能拿到第一张美国的 Defi/DEX 合规牌照。 2、拿到牌照后,Lighter 会使用 Core/Robinhood 还是会重新开发一个实例? 获取到牌照后,Lighter 第一时间会上线 Lighter US,也就是另外一个实例,KYC/AML 均与传统交易公司对齐,同时 Lighter US 会引入 Citadel、Jump 等华尔街大型做市商为 Lighter 做市。(Vlad 之前被 Citadel CEO boss 直聘,工作多年) 资产类别逐一按照 CFTC 监管上线,保持 0 fee 的交易结构。 3、期权 Options 与 LighterEVM 什么时间上线? 目标都是 Q4 上线,但侧重在 Options ,因为技术原因,期权的上线会以二元期权,也就是预测市场为开始,随后升级为传统的欧式期权,同时期权考虑 0 fee 交易开始。 LighterEVM 也是预期 Q4,上线之后将会引入 BTC、HYPE、SOL 等非 EVM 资产现货,当然「股票现货 Spot」也在范围内,同时 LighterEVM 将会催生大量生态项目,例如我后面会发的 wick。 4、年底 12.30 的大额 unlock,团队怎么处理 investor 和 team 的巨量解锁?(这块我问的很直接)。 “investor 都不会卖!” Vlad 说这是他知道的信息。我再追问,你并不能控制他们手来让人家不卖吧, Vlad 意思是:他们说了不卖就是不卖,如果他们要卖的话,完全可以说出来,我们还能帮他们找 OTC 买家,甚至自己都可以买。二级市场直接砸的可能性不高,性价比低,同时也在消耗 VC 自己的信誉。 确实,桌上做的几个基金,都是想来谈 OTC 的。 5、Lighter 与 Robinhood 商业模式一样,要尽可能多获取散户流量,但团队在 Marketing 方面一直如此保守? 团队 Camila 告诉我,其实 Lighter 并不是没有做 MKT,而是一直在考虑 ROI 的问题,现在这个阶段,Lighter 牌照还没下来,而大规模、高质量的流量,只有在牌照之后才会出现。所以团队目前的 Marketing 投入不多,仅以欧美极个别 KOL、还有大的视频访谈为主。(我争取做一次) Camila 还提到,Web3 贯以的 Agency 和 KOL 营销,她觉得性价比非常低,因此等牌照下来,会以 Web2 方式类似于 Kalshi/Polymarket/Robinhood 那样做营销。 加上 KOL 侧,主要集中在合约交易、PerpDEX的 KOL 为主,欧美、韩国、大中华等地区同时发力。 Marketing 是牌照下来之后,团队要侧重做的地方,因为他们也懂自己的盈利模式需要什么。 6、Vlad 你个人有投资 Cognition 吗?(Cognition 是 Vlad 上一个项目的合伙人 Scott wu 的企业 AI 项目,目前估值 500 亿美金) Vlad 说,他是 Cognition 的第一个投资人,我说那很有钱了,恭喜。 饭局后,我和团队成员 Sebas 私下聊起,你觉得 Vlad 有没有当时后悔选择做了 Crypto 而没去做 AI,毕竟现在 LIT 代币总市值 40 亿不到,而 Cognition 还没上市就几百亿了。 Sebas 说绝不会,Vlad 同时喜欢 AI 和 Trade,从他之前在城堡证券工作过很多年、Robinhood 的第一个顾问就知道, Vlad 乐于构建交易系统,而 AI 那边,Vlad 个人投资了很多,这些 Vlad 自己也是很骄傲的。而现在好朋友的公司做的这么好,Vlad 更有动力将自己的公司做更好。 7、团队一直提倡的 100% 回购销毁代币,当然对持币者是好事,但公司会因此没有现金流,团队会怎么处理现金流问题? Vlad 大方承认了这个问题,确实是,他的出发点一直都是 “Lighter 的所有收入权益归 LIT 代币持有者。”但也不得不考虑公司的长期经营问题,现在 team 花的钱都是之前 VC 给的。 长期来看,Lighter 可能会考虑从一些合作伙伴、渠道那里获得收益,Lighter 已经与新型合作伙伴达成协议,这些会在稍后公布。产品侧考虑后面的高级期权用户,同时回购销毁比例可能变为 99% or 98% 这种。(所有的都是设想,还未决定) 以上 就是我这次参加 Lighter 私局的记录,因个人英文水平没有那么 native,内容可能不那么精确,但大致意思趋同。 饭局上我感觉团队状态很好,他们对自己做的事非常有信心,Vlad 也经常自己开起玩笑,喝着茅台白酒,并没有屏幕上一直在正襟危坐很 nerd 的感觉。 稍后两天我会再着重撰写一篇 Lighter 和 Robinhood 相似商业模式的文章,大家敬请期待。

The some math about ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 - LIT end of Q1: $0.87 - LIT end of Q2: $1.84 (up x2.11) - LIT end of Q3: $3.95 (up x2.11) growth at 211% quaterly. Coincidence? probably, but it means: LIT end of Q4: $8.34 (up x2.11)

Upon digestion of the Lighter news, here are my opinions on $LIT: -the regulated track was 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. Robinhood owns it and they have the relevant licenses. Bitstamp is pretty much dead. -The token traded weak for ~3 weeks into the event -The numbers look good -Lighter is still pursuing the CFTC license. This is the big unlock and was always the mega bull case, easy distribution via Robinhood retails. Their technical architecture is ideal for this. -Upon receipt of license, Robinhood can route Robinhood main app flow to Lighter. It would do this if Lighter offers the best price. This is generally the case. Lighter usually offers a better price than even Hyperliquid for the major assets. Bitstamp is no contest. -no meaningful unstakes post news while perps gunned it down aggressively. Perps shorts need spot holders to capitulate. So far, unstaked LIT had their chance and staked holding strong. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝. A lot hinges on the license, which we should find out soon. I am bullish on approval odds relative to the market (NFA, this is my opinion) and expect the resulting candle to be a big gap where it will be hard to reposition, even if you're at the screen.

FTX lost $8B of customer money in November 2022 and nobody outside the building could check the books. In this era we can’t have a just trust me bro exchange. Everything must be verified via ZK. Every match, funding payment and liquidation comes with a ZK proof. Ethereum verifies the proof before the state moves. The data lives on Ethereum too, so if the sequencer ever went down you could rebuild your balance and withdraw on your own. Retail traders pay zero fees. 202 markets live, from BTC and NVDA to gold and OpenAI pre-IPO. And it's built onshore. US C-Corp, and CEO Vlad Novakovski sits on the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee. Robinhood Wallet launched perps on its own Lighter instance July 1. That's Domain 01. Every broker watching that launch is running the same math right now. Don't trust the exchange. Verify it. ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2

People keep asking me for an update on $LIT -The team keeps shipping -The RH instance is really starting to matter; this is before any sort of broader USA Perps market -CFTC application pending as per Vlad interviews -I believe it is still undermonetized -If you trade elsewhere it is worth incorporating. Execution cost is generally very good and best-in-class pa has been toxic af on lower timeframes; I am simply staking and holding as I outlined in my article
There is still tons of deadweight market cap in the crypto market in worthless coins. Broadly think Hyperliquid and Lighter are still underowned. They both have strong business fundamentals while hitting the current regulatory zeitgeist. Targets: $69 / $2

Since the initial airdrop in 2024 token incentives related to USDe growth have declined by roughly ~85% from 2024 to this year. As of the end of this month there will be zero token incentives and inflation on a go forward basis related to USDe. For all of those who participated and helped to bootstrap the product to where it is today: thank you for the support.
