Lighter Secures 68 Million to Boost DeFi Infrastructure
Decentralised trading platform Lighter has raised 68 million in new funding. The round was led by Peter Thiels Founders Fund and fintech specialist Ribbit Capital. Robinhood and Haun Ventures also took part. The deal values Lighter at 1.5 billion.
The raise highlights growing trust in decentralised finance despite a cautious market. It also strengthens confidence in high-speed trading protocols that bridge traditional finance and crypto.
CEO Vladimir Novakovski said the company will use the new funding to improve institutional-grade infrastructure. This funding will accelerate our mission to deliver secure, high-performance trading solutions for institutional participants, he stated.
