$675M Lighter airdrop ranks among crypto’s 10 largest: Bubblemaps

Bubblemaps said Lighter airdropped $675 million in LIT — one of crypto’s biggest ever — as data shared on X suggested about 75% of recipients were still holding.

Lighter, a decentralized exchange (DEX) offering perpetual futures trading, carried out one of the largest token giveaways in crypto history, even as critics questioned how the project split its token supply.

Lighter airdropped a total of $675 million worth of Lighter Infrastructure Tokens (LIT) to early participants on Tuesday, according to blockchain data visualization platform Bubblemaps. “$675M airdropped to early participants. $30M withdrawn from Lighter (only),” wrote Bubblemaps in a Tuesday X post.

The $675 million total makes the Lighter airdrop the 10th largest airdrop by US dollar value in cryptocurrency history, according to crypto data aggregator CoinGecko.
