[Crypto KOL Predicts Lighter Valuation: Minimum $1.5 Billion, Benchmark Between $3 Billion and $4.2 Billion] BlockBeats News, December 22, Crypto KOL @ingalvarezsol made a prediction on Lighter's valuation based on factors such as Polymarket ($2 billion to $3 billion), OTC point prices ($90 per point), and the pre-market price of the LIT token ($3.4): $1.5 billion is the minimum valuation (bear market range, influenced by venture capital funding rounds). $3 billion to $4.2 billion is the bear market benchmark (valuation derived from prediction markets/pre-market/point prices). The optimistic expectation is above $7.5 billion to $12.5 billion (final valuation). @ingalvarezsol emphasized that Hyperliquid and Lighter are fundamentally different types of products: Hyperliquid is building a Web3-native liquidity layer, primarily generating revenue through retail trading fees (along with ecosystem dynamics). Lighter is building decentralized trading infrastructure, aiming to integrate with fintech companies/brokers/professional market makers over time while maintaining extremely low retail execution costs (including 0% fees in certain spot markets). A key catalyst for driving Lighter's valuation higher in the future lies in RWA asset trading.
