<p>The first transaction saw the whale wallet transfer USDC worth $4.03 million into <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/lighter-dex-introduces-native-lit-token-as-part-of-ecosystem-expansion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lighter</a>. Almost $3.8 million was spent to accumulate 1.63 million LIT at an average price of $2.33. It was speculated that the whale wallet would buy more Lighter tokens. The wallet has deposited additional USDC worth around $2 million, and it could soon purchase LIT at the applicable price.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-lit-current-price">LIT Current Price</h3>

<p>Notably, its ATH and ATL came on the same date, that is on December 30, 2025. The token peaked at $4.04 and went as low as $2.30 before ending the year. It is now down by 33.59% from ATH and up by 16.77% from ATL. The average LIT price for the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/whale-deposits-ena-into-binance-sparks-liquidation-concerns-after-ethena-price-drops/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">whale wallet</a> seems to be well above the ATL at the moment.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-lit-price-projection">LIT Price Projection</h3>
<p>LIT price projection for the next 3 months estimates a correction between 22.07% and 20.55%. The monthly decline could take the value to around $2.05, followed by a further decline to $2.09 by March-April 2026.</p>
<p>Overall sentiments are bullish – likely to be evaluated in detail as the token spends more time in the market. It has seen 2 green days in the last 3 days despite the FGI of 20 points. The long-term projection draws the trajectory for a growth of 115.74% by the end of December 2026. Surge may commence from September 2026 with an aim to surpass $2.80.</p>
