Lighter’s Next Chapter with Head of IR and Growth Trevor King

In the latest episode of Galaxy Grid, Lighter's Head of Investor Relations, Trevor King, discusses the recent crypto market cooling, including Bitcoin's pullback to $77,000 and the upcoming FOMC rate decision. The discussion covers the US regulatory environment for perpetual derivatives, specifically the Clarity bill and CFTC licensing. King highlights Lighter's partnership with Robinhood Chain, where real-world assets (RWAs) now account for 70% of open interest, and outlines future plans including a zero-fee retail execution model, a 100% revenue buyback structure for the LIT token, and upcoming features like onchain orderbook options and cross-collateral portfolio margining.
