The crypto trading protocol Lighter announced on platform X that the Lighter platform has now launched spot trading, allowing users to deposit, withdraw, and transfer ETH, which is its first native asset on the Ethereum L2 platform. Later this week, Lighter will enable spot trading and begin to roll out more markets.

Previously, Lighter completed a $68 million funding round, led by Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital.
