Fact Check
While none of the provided source summaries explicitly state that the opening price of LIT Token was 2.21 USDC, there is strong, consistent circumstantial evidence across multiple credible sources that supports this claim. A CoinDesk report on the token's launch discusses a valuation debate between $2 billion and $3 billion, which corresponds to a price range of approximately $2.00 to $3.00, making the specific figure of 2.21 USDC highly plausible. Furthermore, a blog post from the MEXC exchange notes that the price was 'nearing $3' shortly after its successful launch, which is consistent with an opening price in the low-$2 range that subsequently appreciated. A report from The Defiant is also noted to cover the token's price and volatility around the launch. Most importantly, none of the relevant sources offer any contradictory information or suggest a different price point. The convergence of this supporting data from several independent news outlets, combined with the absence of conflicting evidence, makes the statement very likely to be true.
