Since the start of September, the OI has risen from $138 million to about $180 million.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the price action was yet to outline key levels. However, it has stayed above the Supertrend since 10th April on the daily chart.

The integration of Lighter into Robinhood Wallet has increased network activity, resulting in more fees.<\/p>\n<p>The protocol&#8217;s fees rose from $124K to $195K in the last 24 hours alone, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/protocol\/lighter\">DefiLlama<\/a>. These fees buy back LIT, creating demand and reducing the token supply available in the market.<\/p>\n<p>For the recent surge, short liquidations amplified the gains.
