The 
Lighter (LIT) token suffered a dramatic price collapse, plunging 66.65% to $0.11262 within a single hour. This sudden downturn underscores the volatility that can impact smaller-cap cryptocurrencies, even as the broader market remains relatively stable.
Despite the sharp decline, LIT had been performing relatively well in recent days, with a 24-hour gain of 3.59% before the crash. However, the token's 7-day performance remains negative, with a 11.55% loss.
The incident is particularly notable given the current market conditions. The total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.81 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour decline of 0.97%. The Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Greed' territory at 63, indicating a relatively positive market sentiment.
LIT's market cap, which was previously $798.05 million, likely experienced a significant reduction due to the crash. This event serves as a reminder of the risks associated with investing in smaller-cap tokens, which can be more susceptible to rapid price swings.
The broader market's relative stability during this incident suggests that LIT's crash may be an isolated event rather than a sign of a wider market downturn. Investors will be watching to see if LIT can recover from this sudden drop or if it will continue to face downward pressure.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, JUST (JST) has moved from ₹12.92$0.1358 to ₹12.94$0.1361 — +0.19%.
The chart plots JST's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 JST ≈ ₹14.09 (about $0.1361), up 3.9% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
