Lighter Turns LIT Buybacks Into Permanent Burns, and the Perp Catches the Bid
The hyna:LIGHTER perp is up 18.80% over four hours to $2.08, riding LIT spot's roughly 25% week after Lighter overhauled its tokenomics. The headline change: buybacks that were previously accumulated will now be permanently burned, starting with the first burn within weeks of the Q2 close, covering about 15.5 million LIT, or 6.3% of circulating supply. The same update moves staking rewards onto the 250 million-token ecosystem reserve at a 6% target yield, which releases supply that offsets part of the burn. On a HIP-3 book clearing under $50,000 in 24 hours, this move reads as a leveraged catch-up to spot, not fresh independent demand.
