Lighter (LIT) drops 11.4%, fueling $2.11M gains on large short positions amid Robinhood's new contract launch

Lighter (LIT) token fell about 11.4% to $3.99 on Sept. 30, leading to roughly $2.11 million in unrealized gains for two major short positions on Hyperliquid. One trader shorted 1.148 million LIT near $4.95, gaining about $1.1 million, while another shorted 1.138 million LIT near $4.87, gaining around $1 million. The decline may be linked to Robinhood's launch of perpetual-contract services via Bitstamp, which could reduce LIT's trading volume. This drop highlights how new market developments can impact token prices and trader strategies.

The story about two Hyperliquid traders posting over $2.1 million in LIT short gains is set against a broader cryptocurrency market where 9 of 50 major tokens rose and 40 fell on September 30, 2026. For readers following market activity on Pluang as of Sep 30, 2026 22:03 WIB, notable movers include CRV at Rp6.924 with a 1-day change of -4.60% and a typical hold time of 62 days, XLM at Rp3.988 down 4.11% with an 84-day hold, and BAT at Rp1.618 down 3.78% with a 93-day hold time and strong sell order activity at 95%.
