Over the past three days, the altcoin has gained roughly 30%, fully recovering losses recorded earlier in the week. Crypto data platform CoinGecko pointed to three potential drivers behind the rally. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin referenced the platform during a recent fireside chat. He framed Lighter as one of the more notable projects building on Ethereum (ETH). The second catalyst came from the integration between Tealstreet, a high-performance trading terminal, and Lighter. The integration lets Tealstreet users access and trade Lighter markets directly through the terminal. Finally, CoinGecko pointed out that the platforms launch of a synthetic SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual futures market also fueled speculative interest.
