Lighter, an Ethereum zk-rollup exchange, introduced binary options on Bitcoin and Ethereum on October 19, 2026. These new Up/Down contracts pay 1 USDC per winning share and require full collateralization, eliminating leverage and liquidation risks. The launch marks a strategic expansion from leveraged perpetual futures to simpler binary options, aiming to attract broader traders and eventually offer full vanilla options. This move also positions Lighter closer to prediction market models, enhancing its trading ecosystem while maintaining on-chain verification and user custody of funds.
