Odaily Planet Daily reports that Lighter Staging's LIT spot trading is now available, suggesting it's undergoing final testing. Odaily Note: Staging refers to a pre-release environment, which falls between testing and production in the product development process and is generally considered the final rehearsal before the official launch.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Yi Lihua stated in an article: "Consistent with our words and actions, we have continued to increase our ETH holdings. Since the drop to around $3,000 following the 10/11 event, we have been the largest ETH bull in the industry (BNNR is a dollar-cost averaging strategy). Firstly, we are optimistic about the 2026 bull market, especially in the first quarter. It's difficult to concentrate large positions at the lowest point, so we are not worried about fluctuations of several hundred dollars. Secondly, the industry's short sellers are excessively aggressive; ETH futures open interest continues to reach new highs, becoming a dominant price factor. On some platforms, futures open interest is several times the spot market volume. Finally, 2026 is also a year of comprehensive positive environment including the financial blockchain, stablecoins, interest rate cuts, and crypto policies. We will continue to buy until the bull market arrives, with our largest position in ETH, a heavy position in WLFI, and allocations to BTC/BCH/BNB." Previous news: Yi Lihua's Trend Research purchased another 11,520 ETH today, worth $34.93 million.
