Lighter, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange (Perp DEX), is expanding its offerings with the launch of a spot trading service. This move allows users to directly buy and sell cryptocurrencies on the platform, diversifying beyond perpetual futures. Initially, Lighter will prioritize ETH trading, enabling users to seamlessly trade ETH against other assets. The exchange plans to expand its spot trading services in the coming days, adding support for a wider range of cryptocurrencies. This expansion aims to cater to a broader audience and increase trading volume on the platform. This launch positions Lighter as a more comprehensive DeFi platform, providing users with both perpetual futures and spot trading options within a decentralized environment. The focus on ETH initially reflects its importance in the DeFi ecosystem. ```
