Lighter: Liquidity provider adds spot inventory - 13 Aug 2026

Lighter says its Lighter Liquidity Provider (LLP) now holds spot inventory, with the rollout starting with ETH. The change gives the provider a new way to deploy inventory in spot markets and supports basis trading between spot and perpetual markets.Holding spot inventory allows the liquidity provider to place assets directly into spot markets while coordinating positions across spot and perps. That can support deeper spot liquidity and give the platform more flexibility in how inventory is used for basis trades.The initial rollout covers ETH, so the announcement establishes availability for that asset rather than demonstrating broader asset coverage, realized liquidity improvement, or trader adoption. Its effect will depend on how much inventory is deployed and how actively these markets are used.The Lighter Liquidity Provider (LLP) now holds spot inventory.This allows LLP to deepen spot liquidity while running basis trades across spot and perps, giving it more flexibility to deploy inventory efficiently.We’ve started with ETH, with more assets coming soon!🕯️
