Lighter dropped something interesting today—perpetual contracts for new pairs, though spot trading's still MIA.
You can now leverage trade $XLM at 5x and $STABLE at 3x. Not the full rollout people expected, but perps first means they're testing waters before opening spot markets. Classic move for a DEX expanding its derivative offerings.
Worth watching if they'll add more pairs or finally unlock spot trading.

It's an old routine again, put perps to fish your appetite first... Wait for the spot, everyone

It's the same old trick again, perps first, then spot... Lighter, are you steadily progressing or just delaying?

It's the usual pattern of releasing perp first and then spot. Lighter's recent rhythm is pretty good... It's just waiting for spot to come around someday in the distant future.

It's the same old story with perps leading the way, when will spot come... Feels like Lighter is dragging its feet.

NGL, I'm tired of the "perps first" routine... when will spot come?

NGL, why hasn't spot trading arrived yet? Feels like they're just dragging their feet... But trying 5x leverage is also okay, just worried about getting liquidated easily.

It's the same routine again, do perps first and then wait for spot? Feels like Lighter is stalling.
