This new lending protocol isn’t built alone. Jupiter has teamed up with Fluid, a DeFi innovator originally built on Ethereum.
“Fluid leads in DeFi solutions,” said Kash Dhanda. “Now they’re applying that edge on Solana.”
Jupiter started in 2021 with a developer who goes by “Meow.” Since then, it has grown into a key player in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. Nearly 95% of all DEX aggregation on Solana runs through Jupiter.
New Lending Protocol Targets Power Users
The lending feature aims at high-efficiency traders and investors. Jupiter Lend offers aggressive loan-to-value ratios—up to 90%. Most platforms offer around 75%.
The system uses its own liquidation engine and dynamic risk controls. This setup isolates risk and boosts capital efficiency.
“You’re no longer limited to just trading,” Dhanda added. “Borrowing and lending now fit right into the same flow.”
JUP Token Gains As Expansion Announced
Following the announcement, JUP, Jupiter’s native token, surged over 12% to $0.58.
Earlier in 2024, Jupiter had already distributed 700 million JUP tokens, valued then at about $580 million. That followed a 2023 airdrop of nearly a billion tokens.
With this move, Jupiter positions itself beyond trading—aiming to anchor every major piece of the DeFi stack on Solana.
