Overview
- Jupiter and Ethena are building Solana-native mint and redemption contracts for JupUSD, with multiple security audits slated before the Q4 rollout.
- At launch the stablecoin will be backed 1:1 by Ethena’s USDtb, a token tied to short‑term U.S. Treasuries via BlackRock’s BUIDL and Anchorage.
- JupUSD will be integrated across Jupiter’s stack as collateral for perpetuals, liquidity for lending, and a base trading pair on Swap, Pro and mobile, with pairings planned on Meteora.
- Jupiter says it will gradually replace about $750 million of stablecoins in its Jupiter Liquidity Pool with JupUSD to seed depth and reduce reliance on third‑party dollars.
- The teams plan to add Ethena’s synthetic USDe as secondary collateral after launch, while Jupiter’s scale (about $3.6 billion TVL) positions the coin to circulate widely in Solana DeFi.
