Lighter TGE Sparks FDV War — Is 2B to 3B FDV fair value for $LIT?



The debate around a 2B to 3B FDV for $LIT isn’t just market chit-chat — it’s a valuation tug-of-war rooted in tokenomics and real usage signals. LIT’s fully diluted valuation is currently sitting around ~2.4B, with on-chain markets pricing expectations firmly in that ballpark after the airdrop and early trading action.

Some bulls argue ~3B FDV feels fair because Lighter already ranks among the top perpetual DEXs by volume and open interest, and its airdrop + utility model (staking + fee capture + revenue buybacks) gives the token real economic hooks.

Critics push back that FDV can be misleading early: a high FDV with low float and locked tokens can create artificial scarcity that collapses once vesting starts, and markets sometimes reset toward more grounded valuations before expanding.

So is 2B to 3B FDV fair?
It’s a reasonable starting point given where pricing currently sits and the emerging fundamentals. Anything much higher starts living in narrative land unless trading volume, TVL, and real revenue flows widen meaningfully.

Long term, true value will come from stickier usage and actual income capture, not just a projected FDV number.
