AI visual analysis: Infographic titled “DeFi Is Lining Up for America” says Lighter will file for a CFTC exchange and clearing license in November, potentially becoming the first US-licensed on-chain perp DEX, alongside six other DeFi names: Polymarket, Ondo, Hyperliquid, Ethena, Morpho, and dYdX. It organizes them into three routes—3 “Own license,” 3 “Licensed partner,” and 1 “Spot only”—with examples including Polymarket’s QCEX, Ondo’s SEC/FINRA status, Hyperliquid’s Kraken route, Ethena via Anchorage, Morpho via Coinbase, and dYdX spot-only.
