Market Observation for December 25

Large account activity draws attention. A whale deposited 2.6 million USDC into Hyperliquid as trading margin, using 1x leverage to short LIT tokens, with a liquidation price set at $6.92. Based on the scale of operation and leverage configuration, this appears to be a carefully planned hedging strategy.

Launchpad risks should be watched. A leading exchange announced the latest Launchpad project as Lighter ($LIT), with the official page clearly indicating the distribution date as December 29. However, it is worth noting that the Lighter team has not allocated any funds to support this Launchpad — this detail is explicitly stated in the project promotion, and participants should pay special attention to such risk factors.

What are the whales playing at? Throwing 2.6 million to short LIT, this rhythm feels a bit off.

Wait, whales shorting LIT with 2.6 million USDC and still not getting funding support? This feels a bit off.

Whale's move... 2.6 million USDC shorting LIT? Feels like someone is front-running the layout. --- Lighter project surprisingly has no funding support, which is a bit outrageous. --- It's truly the era of Launchpad whales harvesting the leeks. --- Wait, the whale's liquidation price is only 6.92, how bearish are they on LIT? --- No funding support but still daring to go on Launchpad? Who gave them the courage? --- 1x leverage? Is this guy really cautious or just dead set on LIT? --- Why does it feel like LIT is about to crash this time? --- If the project team doesn't put in money, why should I believe in it?

Whale spends 2.6 million to buy LIT? This pace feels a bit off Daring to go on Launchpad without funding support, really bold Why does it seem like the team cut LIT in this wave Looking at this set of protection strategies... what are they preparing for Wait, no, if the team didn't put in money, why is no one speaking up

Whale Hedging LIT? I've seen this trick before, dumping 2.6 million USDC to short, obviously someone knows the inside story. The Lighter project team isn't even investing money, what kind of operation is this... I think I'll wait and see. It's the 26th, still watching the launchpad? Better to check if there's an opportunity in spot trading. This round of LIT feels like there's a story behind it, let's wait and see.

ngl the 1x short setup screams hedging hedge, not speculation... but zero funding backing on a launchpad? that's the red flag game theory right there

Whales are emptying LIT, and Launchpad still lacks funding support... I know this trick too well, are we about to get rug pulled again?

Whales are positioning to short LIT, and the Launchpad has no funding support? This game is getting interesting. --- Investing 2.6 million USDC with just 1x leverage? This guy is really steady. --- Risking launching without funding support—who do you think the exchange is trying to cut? --- Is LIT being pre-judged? Or is there really an issue? --- Hedging strategy? I think they’re just setting a trap for later entrants. --- Now even launching a project, they’re reluctant to spend money—truly impressive. --- Wait, the whale’s short position is at such a low price... Insider info? --- Remember, zero funding support is a detail—don’t fall into the trap next time.
