Lighter Strikes $920 Million USDC Revenue-Sharing Deal with Circle — A Win for DeFi Traders
LIT, the powering token for the Lighter ecosystem, exploded by nearly 10% on the news, and was trading for $1.46% on the news.
The agreement covers approximately $920 million in USDC deposits on Lighter’s platform, marking a significant milestone for the young DeFi exchange.
Under the partnership, interest income generated from Circle’s USDC reserves will be shared between Circle and Lighter.
This aligns with Circle’s broader revenue-sharing model, which it has previously implemented with leading exchanges such as Coinbase and Bybit.
