Jupiter, a decentralized exchange aggregator built on Solana, announced a $35 million strategic investment from ParaFi Capital on Feb. 2.

According to the announcement, ParaFi Capital committed to an extended lockup period for the received JUP tokens, though the exact duration was not disclosed.
At the time of publication, ParaFi Capital had not released an independent public statement confirming the investment.
JupUSD and Investment Structure
JupUSD launched in January 2026 and will be used to facilitate the entire $35 million transaction.
The stablecoin currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $38.7 million, based on data from rwa.xyz.
Settlement of the investment is expected to nearly double JupUSD’s circulating supply.
JupUSD is primarily backed by USDtb, a stablecoin collateralized by tokenized U.S. Treasury assets.
The stablecoin was developed through a partnership with Ethena Labs, in which ParaFi Capital is also an investor.
ParaFi Capital manages roughly $1.4 billion in assets and was founded in 2018.
Its portfolio includes multiple projects within the Solana ecosystem, such as infrastructure and decentralized finance platforms.
Jupiter’s Role in the Solana Ecosystem
Jupiter processes more than 90% of decentralized exchange aggregator volume on Solana, according to research published by Messari.
In June 2025, the platform reported cumulative trading volumes exceeding $1 trillion.
In January 2026, Coinbase integrated Jupiter’s trading technology into its systems.
JUP trades around $0.19, with a market capitalization of approximately $596 million, and remains significantly below its January 2024 all-time high.
