Options season? Let’s get the token out first
Lighter’s official account tossed out “Options season coming soon” and gave no details whatsoever—a classic two-word tease. For a perpetual DEX to pivot to options, the margin model and liquidation engine have to be rebuilt from the ground up. If market makers can’t provide enough depth, users are just handed slippage.
This hype-building teaser tactic is ancient history. The token price pumps before launch, then when it actually goes live, there isn’t enough depth and takers send it crashing down. Options markets elsewhere are already doing volume, and volatility premiums aren’t there for the taking either. Pumping on hype in the short term, then drifting down as soon as it launches—the script is all too familiar.
Who’s brave enough to place an order and provide the first wave of depth on launch day? Drop your price in the comments.
