Solana DEX Jupiter’s native coin JUP price jumped nearly 8% on Saturday, primarily riding the back of remarkable community developments. Notably, the DEX platform has marked monumental strides, acquiring a majority stake in the crypto trading platform Moonshot, among other advancements. As an upshot, the native token’s price soared remarkably intraday, with market watchers anticipating further gains amid recent developments.

JUP Price Bullish Amid Jupiter’s Moonshot & Sonarwatch Acquisition Plans

Jupiter co-founder, going by the pseudo-name Meow, posted on X as of January 25, revealing that the Solana DEX has acquired a majority stake in Moonshot. Intriguingly, Moonshot is a crypto trading platform that focuses on meme coin transactions, and it has recently gained a large number of new users in the wake of the Trump token event and soaring focus toward the top meme coins. Primarily, the stake acquisition sparked significant market discussions, paving the way for collaboration between the entities for the “future of memes,” as indicated by the co-founder on X.

Further, it’s also worth pointing out that DEX acquired Sonarwatch, a Solana on-chain portfolio tracker. Notably, with this acquisition, the DEX aims to launch a page where users can track Solana’s on-chain activity. Overall, these movers appear to have cemented a bullish market sentiment for the DEX’s native coin, as seen by the recent upswing in JUP price.

Jupiter Goes Back Into Beta: What’s Happening?

Meanwhile, another X post by the DEX’s community today revealed that the platform is going into the beta phase as its reinvented platform is now live. The Jupiter Spot V2 has been introduced, with key features likely to be rolled out over the next few weeks.

Notably, the new reinvented platform is set to offer features such as ultra Mode, RTSE, organic scoring, smart trigger orders, Jupiter Shield, magical mobile updates, and major changes to perps and JLP, a liquidity token for the DEX’s perpetual platform. Altogether, this monumental feat has further uplifted the market sentiment for JUP price.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Solana DEX today revealed a revolutionary idea, allowing users to deposit JLP and borrow USDC. This maneuver further supports the stablecoin by offering higher utilization rates whilst also enhancing APY for JLP holders. In turn, broader ecosystem perspectives for Jupiter and its native token remain optimistic amid the abovementioned advancements.

JUP Price Soars 10%

At the time of reporting, JUP price witnessed a staggering 10% pump and is sitting at $0.9425. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $0.8208 and $0.968, respectively. As mentioned above, the latest ecosystem developments appear to have sparked a bullish sentiment for the native token as it defies the broader crypto market trend. Traders also reacted positively to the announcements, as flagged by a 13% rise in the intraday trading volume to $441.88 million.

Coinglass data showcased an 18% surge in the coin’s futures OI to $263.87 million. Further, even the derivatives volume shot up by 30% to $1.08 billion. This indicated that the asset enjoys a bullish trend amid rising market interest, primarily driven by the latest ecosystem developments.
