The 
Lighter (LIT) token suffered a dramatic price collapse, plunging 66.65% to $0.11262 within a one-hour period. This sharp decline highlights the inherent volatility of smaller-cap cryptocurrencies, which can experience rapid and severe price swings.
The token's market capitalization, which was previously around $2.37 billion, dropped to $798.05 million as a result of the crash. This significant loss in value underscores the risks associated with investing in less-established digital assets.
While the exact cause of the crash remains unclear, the incident coincides with a period of broader market volatility. The total crypto market cap stands at $2.81 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a 24-hour decline of 0.97%.
In contrast, the 
JUST (JST) token, which is also a smaller-cap cryptocurrency, has seen a 3.00% increase in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.135847. This divergence in performance further illustrates the uneven nature of the crypto market.
The Fear & Greed Index remains at 63, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. This suggests that while some investors are still optimistic, the market is susceptible to sudden shifts in sentiment.

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 TLT'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 ≈ ₦185.74 (about $0.1362), up 3.8% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
