Recently, I have been paying attention to the LIT project to see if its market logic can hold up.



The project's slogan is to surpass HYPE and become the new generation DEX leader, which has indeed attracted many top institutions to support it. However, based on its opening performance, this wave of popularity is rapidly fading. In terms of chip distribution, one-quarter has flowed into the community, and after the project's hype diminishes, the "hair-cutting" effect disappears. More importantly, the MACP market cap has already reached 600 million, which, for a new DEX still validating market demand, clearly overextends its valuation.

Comparing to HYPE, which is currently the top DEX with much greater stability, its market position is unlikely to be shaken in the short term. Subsequent entrants like Edge, StandX, and other DEX platforms will inevitably further divide the liquidity and profits in this sector, making the entire DEX ecosystem increasingly competitive and inward-looking.

From a data perspective, if LIT's price drops from its opening level to a market cap of 60 million after six months, it would mean a nearly 10-fold decline. This downward space is not hard to imagine—due to market cycle adjustments, chip unlocking pressures, HYPE's market competition, and the ongoing segmentation of the DEX ecosystem, each factor alone can exert downward pressure.

Our strategy is as follows: initially, we allocated a small position around 3.4. The recent dip at open yesterday provided an opportunity for brothers to follow up. Currently, this position has already secured a 40-point profit cushion, so I suggest everyone stay steady. If the price retraces to the 2.8-3.3 range later, averaging down in batches is a good option. The higher the price goes, the greater the risk.
LIT-2,76%
HYPE1,82%
EDGE8,32%

According to the tokenomics model in the white paper, the overvaluation of LIT with a market cap of 600 million is indeed worth caution. From a governance mechanism perspective, a high proportion of community tokens may actually increase the risk of selling pressure.

A valuation of 600 million really can't hold up; this is a victim of intense competition within the industry.

Damn, a market cap of only 600 million and you dare to call yourself the DEX leader? HYPE is still steady and solid, while LIT's popularity is fading so quickly. --- The hype wave has passed, and no one wants it anymore. I've seen through this logic a long time ago. --- Brothers who bought in at 3.4 earlier are really lucky. Now with 40 points below, I feel much more at ease. I'm still debating whether to chase at 2.8. --- A tenfold drop sounds scary, but honestly, the DEX sector is really competitive and crowded. Liquidity is being split and divided, and in the end, there are only a few winners. --- Having institutional backing is useless; it all depends on the market sentiment. When the cycle adjusts, all the chips are unlocked, and LIT's valuation will eventually return to reality. --- The statement "the more it rises, the more dangerous it gets" is very reasonable. We'll just wait within the 2.8-3.3 range, don't be greedy.

Oh man, I see LIT as just a big hype, with an inflated valuation. Basically, it's just a hype substitute. Why should it outperform others? Let's see the real results in 6 months. Don't tell me about institutional backing; in the end, it's all about genuine traffic.

Overvaluation is real; comparing a 600 million market cap to HYPE seems very unreasonable. Only a few top projects will survive in the DEX track in the end, and once the hype around LIT fades, it will be a ticking time bomb.
