Jupiter, a Solana-based decentralized finance protocol, has launched a new stablecoin named JupUSD. The token is pegged to the US dollar and is built to act as unified collateral across Jupiter’s growing suite of financial products.
According to the announcement, JupUSD is backed 90% by USDtb, a stablecoin backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund, and 10% by USDC. The BUIDL Fund is a tokenized money market fund managed by BlackRock. The reserves are secured through custody provider Porto by Anchorage Digital.
The stablecoin will not offer yield directly but is designed to support liquidity, lending, and collateral across Jupiter’s ecosystem. Its launch marks a step toward deeper integration between stablecoin infrastructure and decentralized platforms.
Integration Across Jupiter’s Full Product Suite
JupUSD will be implemented across Jupiter’s core DeFi products including lending, automated investing, and trading tools. The integration is intended to create a consistent unit of account for users across multiple functions.
In Jupiter Lend, users can deposit JupUSD into Earn Vaults to receive jlJupUSD, which includes promotional rewards in addition to standard interest. Borrow Vaults will also allow users to take loans using JupUSD as collateral, increasing utility and liquidity.
Jupiter confirmed upcoming support for JupUSD in additional products like Limit Orders, Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), Perpetuals using JLP collateral, and prediction markets. Each of these platforms will treat JupUSD as a base stablecoin, supporting a seamless user experience across services.
Built with Security and Regulatory Considerations
The JupUSD token was created with a focus on security and compliance. Its infrastructure is provided by Ethena Labs, which has experience with issuing over $16 billion in stablecoins, including USDe and USDm.
To meet regulatory standards, JupUSD will not generate direct yield and will instead serve as a stable unit of collateral. All code for the stablecoin has been made open source and was independently audited by Offside Labs, Guardian Audits, and Pashov Audit Group prior to launch.
Porto by Anchorage Digital provides custody of the stablecoin’s backing assets. The institution is recognized for providing regulated digital asset custody services, adding an additional layer of trust to the project.
Community Response and Future Developments
The community has responded positively to the launch. Supporters have praised the move toward a unified stablecoin strategy within the Jupiter ecosystem. Some users questioned the need for a new stablecoin when USDC and USDT already exist. Others asked how holders of Jupiter’s native token, JUP, would benefit.
Jupiter executives had previously shared plans for JupUSD during Solana Breakpoint 2025. At the event, they outlined how a native stablecoin would create synergy across products, helping to simplify liquidity flows and reduce fragmentation.
Alongside JupUSD, Jupiter also revealed other upgrades including a revamped Verify product, a new trading terminal, and tools for builders using its APIs. The team also announced the acquisition of Rain.fi to expand peer-to-peer lending options, with a launch targeted for Q1 2026.
