Jupiter processed over 1.16 trillion dollars in annual volume in 2025 and generated roughly 514 million dollars in gross revenue across at least 18 distinct products, with perpetuals accounting for approximately 55 percent of that revenue and spot trading contributing 35 to 40 percent.
Jupiter processed over 1.16 trillion dollars in annual volume in 2025 and generated roughly 514 million dollars in gross revenue, crossing 3 trillion dollars in lifetime volume. The protocol expanded from 8 to 18 or more distinct products during the year, holds the top TVL position on Solana at approximately 2.35 billion dollars, and routes more than 50 percent of all Solana DEX volume. At the time of recording it was running at around 650 million dollars in annualized fees and roughly 150 million dollars in annualized protocol revenue.
Perps generated approximately 55 percent of Jupiter revenues in 2025, with spot trading contributing 35 to 40 percent. Eighteen months earlier, perps was the only product generating revenue. Jupiter Perps is limited to three trading pairs because it uses an AMM model rather than an order book, but that model provides guaranteed liquidity allowing traders to close positions as large as 20 million dollars regardless of price. JLP, the liquidity pool underpinning perps, is an index of Bitcoin, SOL, ETH, and stablecoins reporting 8.5 percent APY at recording, with professional funds running it delta neutral to capture that yield while hedging underlying price exposure. Speakers described JLP as the anchor of Solana DeFi while cautioning that its yield is not stable in two senses: the price of JLP itself moves with the market and the yield rate fluctuates.
Jupiter Lend launched in partnership with Fluid on a 50-50 revenue share and hit 1 billion dollars in total supplied assets in eight days, reaching 2.2 billion dollars in TVL roughly nine to ten months after launch. Total borrowed was approximately 675 million dollars at recording. The primary fee mechanism is a 10 percent reserve factor on interest paid from borrowers to lenders, which may be increased for riskier assets. Because 50 percent of all Jupiter on-chain revenues flow into programmatic JUP buybacks, 25 percent of Jupiter Lend revenues ultimately reach those buybacks after the Fluid split. Speakers described Jupiter Lend as the second most strategically important product because it positions Jupiter at the center of the asset issuer picture on Solana, arguing every major stablecoin and asset issuer must engage with it given its liquidity concentration.
Jupiter partnered with Athena and Bitwise on an isolated lending market that reached over 500 million dollars in approximately four days. One speaker noted that Bitwise manages more assets by itself than exist in all of Solana DeFi combined and had not been actively involved in DeFi before this partnership. The partnership was framed around a risk-first philosophy partly in response to what speakers described as a broader crisis of faith in DeFi following recent exploits. Jupiter Lend uses a forked version of the underlying protocol with a different multi-sig and different signers, making it fully separate rather than simply isolated in the conventional sense.
JupeUSD is not a yield-bearing stablecoin, but its underlying economics from T-bills in partnership with Athena are returned to users. It reached approximately 100,000 monthly active users early on and did roughly 721 million dollars in volume and 65 million dollars in TVL in its first couple of months, though one speaker acknowledged growth was slower than internally anticipated. JLP holds two to three hundred million dollars in stablecoins that Jupiter plans to convert into JupeUSD over time, and prediction markets already convert any wagered token into JupeUSD on the back end. Jupiter plans to launch a DEX on JupiterLand using Fluid's DEX architecture with JupeUSD as the primary pairing asset, with speakers framing the absence of a Curve equivalent on Solana as a structural opportunity.
Jupiter wallets are described as the most strategically important product because they allow Jupiter to own the end-user relationship and introduce new products through that trust. Jupiter Spend, a stablecoin spend card built into the mobile wallet, grew 300 percent month-over-month from February to March and 749 percent from March to April, though speakers cautioned these figures come off a small base. Robinhood, Coinbase, MetaMask, SushiSwap, Uniswap, and Twitter all integrate Jupiter infrastructure, and Jupiter's partners have collectively earned more than 750 million dollars using that infrastructure, a figure Jupiter has not yet reached itself in net revenue.
Jupiter never raised venture capital, with all team alignment running through the JUP token. A DAO vote roughly 18 months before recording burned 30 percent of the original 10 billion token supply equally across all categories, and additional operational burns have brought total burned supply to approximately 35 percent of the original. A net zero emissions vote passed with approximately 78 percent approval, restructuring team vesting and halting emissions from the strategic reserve, which speakers noted is rare among tokens of Jupiter's two-to-three-year age. The 50 percent revenue share into buybacks runs through a third-party entity called the Litterbox Trust, which buys JUP every day. Approximately 150 million tokens were bought back and burned in the prior year, with roughly another 100 million repurchased at recording. Burned tokens are locked and may be permanently burned after a future DAO vote. Jupiter's fully diluted valuation was approximately 1.35 billion dollars at time of recording.
