According to @ReetikaTrades, the LIT token launch performed worse than their already low expectations, highlighting weak token launch price action in current market conditions (source: https://x.com/ReetikaTrades/status/2011698193319469121). They note that expecting a hype-driven launch fractal was unrealistic given the current market backdrop, implying limited momentum for newly listed tokens (source: https://x.com/ReetikaTrades/status/2011698193319469121).

According to @lookonchain, a trader using a mispricing-focused strategy on Polymarket earned about $92.3K within hours by exploiting short-term odds dislocations (source: @lookonchain). The trader “hai15617” joined today and made 10 predictions on Polymarket, per the source (source: @lookonchain). One trade delivered $99,779 in profit, an 887% return, which offset multiple 100% losing positions and still locked in gains overall (source: @lookonchain).
