Lighter Founder: Previous LIT Token Large Transactions Unrelated to Airdrop, App May Launch in Coming Weeks

On December 28, Twitter account WhaleInsider—boasting 600,000 followers—once again promoted meme coin ATLAS. Shortly before its launch, 68 wallets received funds via ChangeNow.

WhaleInsider had previously noted that ATLAS—a meme coin inspired by U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s pet dog—surged 100% in a single day.

December 28 – Mirae Asset, a South Korean financial group, is in talks to acquire Korbit, South Korea’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency exchange, according to Cointelegraph. The transaction is valued at roughly 100 billion to 140 billion South Korean won (about $70 million to $100 million).

Any rebounds seen are likely driven by leverage, not spot demand, leaving further downside risks intact.
