Where it’s held matters Crypto bought on an exchange typically sits on the exchange’s balance sheet. Institutional custody holds your JUP separately a structural difference worth understanding before you buy.
How custody worksBroker vs exchange Buying Jupiter through a broker works differently from a self-serve exchange order book. Understanding how the two differ helps you choose the path that fits how you want to buy.
See the differenceLarger trades are different Buying a significant amount of Jupiter in one go can move an exchange’s order book against you. OTC execution is built for size filling large orders without that market impact.
About OTC tradingJupiterA plain-English look at what it is, how it works, and what it's used for, so you can understand the asset before you buy.
Jupiter (JUP) is the governance token of Jupiter, Solana’s largest DEX aggregator and one of the most widely used DeFi platforms on the network. Founded in October 2021 by a pseudonymous developer known as ‘Meow’ alongside Siong Ong, Jupiter began as a swap aggregation tool that found the best price for a trade across multiple Solana decentralised exchanges, and has since expanded into a broader platform offering perpetual futures, lending, and other DeFi products.
Jupiter’s core function is Smart Order Routing: when a user wants to swap one token for another, Jupiter scans liquidity across dozens of Solana DEXs simultaneously, comparing prices, available liquidity, and fees. For larger trades, it can split a single order across multiple DEXs to minimise slippage, finding a better effective price than routing the entire trade through any single exchange. Beyond swaps, Jupiter has expanded into a full-stack DeFi platform. It offers perpetual futures trading with leverage of up to 100x, a Jupiter Liquidity Pool (JLP) that rewards liquidity providers with a share of trading fees, and Jupiter Lend, a lending market. The platform has also begun developing its own stablecoin products and, as of February 2026, integrated prediction markets through a partnership with Polymarket. As of 2026, Jupiter handles approximately 95% of DEX aggregator volume on Solana and over half of all DEX trading volume on the network, making it a central piece of infrastructure for Solana-based trading.
JUP is purely a governance token — it does not entitle holders to a share of Jupiter’s trading fee revenue. Holders vote through the Jupiter DAO on decisions including which DEXs are integrated into the aggregator’s routing, how the treasury is allocated, fee structures, and broader ecosystem initiatives. JUP holders who actively participate in governance can earn Active Staking Rewards (ASR), distributed in JUP. Notably, using Jupiter’s trading features — swaps, perpetuals, or lending — does not require holding JUP; users only need SOL to cover Solana network fees. Jupiter has also conducted JUP buybacks using platform revenue, separate from the governance and staking mechanisms, as part of its broader token economics.
• Smart Order Routing. Jupiter scans liquidity across dozens of Solana DEXs and can split large orders across multiple venues to minimise slippage and find better effective prices.
• DeFi superapp. Beyond swaps, Jupiter offers perpetual futures with up to 100x leverage, a liquidity pool (JLP), a lending market (Jupiter Lend), and prediction markets via a Polymarket integration.
• Recurring Jupuary airdrops. Jupiter has run annual community distribution events since its January 2024 launch, rewarding active platform users with JUP allocations.
• Reduced total supply. JUP launched with a 10 billion token supply, later reduced to 7 billion following a 3 billion token burn at the January 2025 "Catstanbul" event.
• Pure governance token. JUP carries no claim on Jupiter's fee revenue. It is used exclusively for DAO voting and is not required to use any of Jupiter's trading features.
