Ethereum2026-09-14 02:58:16Ethereum Early Contributor-Linked Address Withdraws 500,000 LIT From LighterOn Sept. 14, BlockBeats reported that on-chain analyst Ai Yi said an address linked to early Ethereum contributor billΞ.eth (@0xbilly) withdrew 500,000 LIT from the Lighter protocol about two hours earlier, with the tokens valued at $2.07 million at the time of the transfer. The update identified the wallet as associated with billΞ.eth, a known early participant in Ethereum. The same report said Lighter has posted notable recent growth. According to the information cited, that expansion has been supported by favorable U.S. regulatory policy developments and momentum tied to Robinhood network-related interest. Against that backdrop, Lighter’s token, LIT, has risen more than 97% over the past month. The report attributes the wallet activity to monitoring by Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa). No additional transaction details, including the destination of the withdrawn tokens or any stated reason for the move, were disclosed in the source material.700
Ethereum2026-09-14 02:58:49billΞ.eth-linked address withdraws 500,000 LIT from LighterA wallet linked to early Ethereum contributor billΞ.eth withdrew 500,000 LIT from the Lighter protocol about two hours before the report, according to ChainCatcher, citing on-chain analyst monitoring. The withdrawn tokens were valued at $2.07 million. The tracked address was identified as 0xC31...23fb in the report. ChainCatcher said Lighter is the perpetuals DEX built into Robinhood Wallet. The report also noted that Lighter has recently seen rising trading volume, while LIT has gained more than 97% over the past month. No additional transaction details were provided in the brief.750
Robinhood Cha2026-09-12 14:45:12Anthropic-themed meme tokens jump on Robinhood chain as FRONTIER and ANTHROPIG top $10 millionTrading activity around Anthropic-linked meme tokens picked up on the Robinhood chain on Sept. 12, with two names briefly crossing the $10 million market cap mark. FRONTIER, a meme token built around a tokenized 1x Anthropic contract pool, reached $10 million in market value within 30 minutes of launch before pulling back to $7.04 million, according to BlockBeats. ANTHROPIG, which went live earlier in the day, also moved above $10 million before retreating to $9.15 million. Its gain over the past hour was reported at 78%. BlockBeats said both tokens trade on Long.xyz against ANTHROPICx1L, a tokenized 1x long Anthropic position provided by Lighter. Liquidity for ANTHROPICx1L is currently supplied mainly by Long.xyz. FRONTIER was inspired by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s latest article, “We Must Pace the Frontier,” which argues for slowing the pace of AI development and outlines a three-part plan. BlockBeats described Long.xyz as a Robinhood-chain meme launch platform focused on a “stock-meme” model that pairs meme assets with tokenized U.S. equities such as NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL rather than with USDT or ETH. The outlet also warned that the tokens remain highly volatile and carry significant uncertainty.950
Long.xyz2026-09-12 14:18:27Long.xyz touts 15,000% APY on OpenAI pool while underlying Lighter market traded just $68,000Long.xyz co-founder Nate said the platform’s new pre-IPO pairs posted $18 million in 24-hour volume for the OpenAI pool and $14.6 million for the Anthropic pool, calling it the project’s biggest release so far. But BlockTempo’s on-chain check found the underlying market was far smaller. The wrapped tokens track 1x long perpetual positions on Lighter, where the OpenAI perpetual saw only $68,000 in 24-hour volume and the Anthropic market logged $233,000 over the same period. At publication, the main OPENAIx1L/USDG pool on Robinhood Chain had $354,000 in liquidity and $20.01 million in 24-hour volume, while the ANTHROPICx1L/USDG pool had $371,000 in liquidity and $15.54 million in volume. That translated into turnover of 56.6x and 41.9x in a single day. BlockTempo said the widely shared 15,193.60% and 9,583.99% annualized yields were derived by annualizing one day of fee income against a very small TVL, producing a snapshot figure rather than a sustainable yearly return. The report also found price fragmentation across pools. OPENAIx1L traded between $1.071 and $1.17 across at least eight USDG pools, while ANTHROPICx1L ranged from $1.0093 to $1.27.1090
Anthropic2026-09-12 02:38:58ANTHROPIG jumps to $4.246 million after Anthropic pre-IPO pair goes live on Robinhood ChainLong.xyz, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, said on Sept. 12 that pre-IPO pairs for OpenAI and Anthropic had gone live, with pricing driven by perpetual contracts on Lighter. Twenty-six minutes later, a meme coin called ANTHROPIG launched a pool on the same chain, paired with ANTHROPICx1L, a 1x long Anthropic token. Its market cap rose from $554,000 at launch to $4.246 million within about 90 minutes before falling back to $1.916 million. BlockTempo reported that the underlying ANTHROPICx1L supply was worth only about $458,000 on-chain, while Lighter’s Anthropic perp posted $193,000 in 24-hour volume. A second token with the same ANTHROPIG name then appeared on Uniswap v2, paired with WETH instead of a pre-IPO asset, and later climbed to a $4.459 million market cap, overtaking the original token’s earlier peak. The episode unfolded as traders pushed into pre-IPO perpetual markets tied to companies that have not yet listed, including Anthropic and OpenAI.980
Long.xyz2026-09-12 01:47:57Long.xyz lists Pre-IPO contracts for OpenAI and Anthropic with up to 5x leverageMeme token launch platform LONG said on Sept. 12 that Long.xyz has listed Pre-IPO trading pairs tied to OpenAI and Anthropic, with perpetual futures infrastructure supplied by Lighter. The platform said it has created paired liquidity pools for OpenAI, Anthropic and Nvidia, with 1x settings for OpenAI and Anthropic and 3x for Nvidia. For this early market, Long.xyz said it is using a customized liquidity design that starts with relatively shallow market depth before expanding liquidity over time. The platform also stressed that these Pre-IPO contracts do not represent actual ownership of OpenAI or Anthropic equity. Instead, they track valuation expectations for private companies. Lighter’s OpenAI and Anthropic contracts currently support up to 5x leverage and use an internal pricing mechanism. Long.xyz described the Pre-IPO market as experimental and said product parameters may be adjusted based on market performance. BlockBeats added that rising expectations around potential OpenAI and Anthropic listings have driven faster growth in similar on-chain pre-listing trading products, while warning that related tokens remain highly volatile and uncertain.820
Robinhood2026-09-09 08:47:19Robinhood traffic lifts Lighter expectations as LIT rally prices in a possible US perpetuals openingRobinhood Wallet’s integration with Lighter has become a major variable in how the market is valuing the on-chain perpetuals venue. Data cited by Milk Road shows Robinhood order flow now accounts for about 17% of Lighter’s daily trading volume, above a 30-day average near 12%. Robinhood has also said the Lighter perpetuals entry built into its wallet has generated about $7.29 billion in cumulative volume since Robinhood Chain launched on July 1. That growth, however, does not mean the business is fully proven. The perpetuals feature in Robinhood Wallet is not available to US users, so current activity is coming mainly from markets outside the United States. At the same time, LIT has doubled over the past 30 days, with part of the rally tied to expectations that regulated perpetual contracts may gradually become more acceptable in the US market. The opening may be real, but it is not the same as approval for Lighter. There is no evidence that Lighter has applied for a US trading license, and founder Vladimir Novakovski’s seat on the CFTC’s innovation advisory committee does not amount to regulatory clearance. The market is also still missing key details on user retention, how much incentive-driven volume will remain once rewards end, and how much of that activity can turn into recurring fee revenue for the protocol.940
Lighter2026-09-09 06:43:18LIT hits a new all-time high at $5.24, up more than 13% in 24 hoursLighter’s token, LIT, climbed more than 13% over the past 24 hours and was quoted at $5.24, setting a fresh all-time high, according to market data from HTX cited by BlockBeats on Sept. 9. The move came as the project was described as benefiting from several recent positives. BlockBeats said Lighter has been deeply involved in the development of crypto-friendly policy in the United States. The report also said the project has been deeply integrated with the recently popular Robinhood chain. No additional market data or trading details were provided in the brief update, but the price level and 24-hour gain were highlighted as the key numbers in the latest move.790
