Lighter Adds weETH as Perpetual Futures Margin with 1,000-Token Platform Cap

Accepting a liquid staking token as perp margin deepens the yield-bearing collateral trend, but the tight 1,000-token platform cap signals Lighter is testing risk appetite rather than scaling it. The gap between 70% LTV and 85% liquidation threshold leaves a thin buffer, so weETH's secondary-market liquidity under stress is the real test. It matters most for ether.fi's collateral footprint and for traders weighing yield against liquidation risk; whether the cap is raised or the parameters tighten after early usage is the open question.
