Robinhood has listed Lighter DEX’s $LIT token, shrugging off the altcoin’s 15% dump on Thursday. The listing has inspired recovery for the DEX token, which now trades at $2.11.

The move comes only hours after Lighter announced the roll-out of its much-awaited $LIT staking, with details about how holders can now earn rewards and access additional features across the platform.

Lighter Price Recovers From 15% Crash After Robinhood Listing

BeInCrypto reported Lighter’s 15% crash following the network’s staking feature roll-out. However, while the token was still underwater by double-digits, reports revealed Robinhood’s planned listing of Lighter’s native token, $LIT, causing a speedy recovery.

As of this writing, Lighter’s $LIT token was trading for $2.09 on MEXC exchange, with the token expected to be available for trading on Robinhood soon.

Notably, Lighter has strong ties to Robinhood, as Robinhood Ventures participated in its $68 million funding round in November 2025.

Furthermore, the project is often described as an “on-chain Robinhood model” with plans for a mobile app aimed at retail traders, bridging DeFi and TradFi.

$LIT has already secured listings on various centralized exchanges, including Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, Gate, MEXC, and others.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that market makers and wallets have begun withdrawing $LIT from Lighter DEX, suggesting that the token could soon be available for transfers on centralized exchanges.
