Large banks have been enjoying a pretty favorable interest rate environment since the Federal Reserve started easing rates in 2024 and 2025.
Over the past three years, the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index, which tracks large banks, has risen some 135%. JPMorgan Chase (JPM 0.27%) stock has returned 34%, 41%, and 27% in each of the past three calendar years, respectively. Wells Fargo (WFC +0.20%) has had similarly strong returns over the past three years, as has Bank of America (BAC 0.31%), although BAC had a weaker 2023, returning just 2% in 2023 followed by returns of 30% and 25% in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Since 2024, rates have dropped from a high of 5.50% to the current 3.50% to 3.75% range. This has been a favorable range for banks because it allows them to still charge high interest rates on loans but not too high to curtail loan growth. In addition, large banks have the advantage over smaller banks with the diverse services they can offer. It enables them to retain customers while keeping deposit rates lower, increasing the net interest income.

The results speak for themselves, as large banks have seen steady loan growth, higher net interest income, and rising stock prices. In the most recent quarter, JPMorgan Chase saw loans grow 11% and net interest income rise 9% year over year.
For Wells Fargo, loans were up 10% and net interest income rose 5%, while Bank of America saw 9% growth in both loans and net interest income year over year.
But rates have not budged since December of 2025, and bank stocks stagnated, particularly earlier this year. The malaise is due to several factors, namely geopolitical tensions, macroeconomic headwinds, and growing uncertainty that rates will continue to drop.

In fact, they may start to go back up. What does this potential dynamic mean for large banks?
Rates now expected to rise At the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on June 16 to June 17, the committee held rates in check. But for the first time in recent years, there is real momentum to not lower rates but raise them. In the latest dot plot, or summary of projections, the majority of FOMC members now see rates rising by some 25 basis points in 2026 to a median of 3.8%.
In March, the dot plot called for rates to hold steady with the median targeted at 3.6%. In December 2025, the median rate among members was 3.4%, which would indicate rates would decline by 25 basis points.
So, that shows that sentiment for a rate cut in 2026 has mostly disappeared. It now appears that rates could actually rise this year. That could change, but right now, banks are looking at the potential for a rising rate environment. How does this change the calculus?

Is this good or bad for banks? The latest dot plot seems to reinforce the higher-for-longer scenario, meaning rates will stay somewhat elevated for several years. The key question is, how much higher?
If rates temporarily rise but then settle or even drop back down, I don't think it will have a major impact on banks. Even at the 3.75% to 4% range or the 4% to 4.25% range, it is still somewhat of a sweet spot for banks. The move to raise rates would be designed to cool inflation and support job growth -- the Fed's dual mandate -- with the idea of spurring economic growth, which would be good for banks and lending.

But over the longer term, the FOMC, at least at this point, still sees rates trending lower in 2027, 2028, and over the longer run. The projected rate is 3.6% for 2027, 3.4% for 2028, and 3.1% beyond that.
So, longer term, I don't think the higher-for-longer scenario is necessarily bad for banks if they stay within projected ranges. If they push rates over 4.50% or 5%, that would be negative as it would likely slow loan growth and perhaps lead to lower credit quality, which would result in higher provisions for credit losses and a drag on earnings.
Investors don't seem overly concerned about the Fed projection for rates to possibly rise. Following the June 17 FOMC statement, the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index dipped a bit as a knee-jerk reaction but then started moving higher in the following days. It helps that the big three banks are all reasonably valued.
With second-quarter earnings season coming up in the next few weeks, it will be interesting to watch if the big banks adjust their net interest income outlooks for the fiscal year, given the potential for rising rates. I think all three stocks -- JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo -- remain buys heading into earnings season.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Deri Protocol, a well-known decentralized derivatives exchange, has announced the removal of support for key networks. The move occurs after community voting to sunset support for zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, and Manta Network. As per Deri Protocol’s official social X announcement, the platform is doing this because of the consistently lower activity. Hence, the consumers with liquidity or open positions on the respective networks must migrate them to some other compatible chains promptly.
After the successful voting for the removal of support for zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, and Manta Network, Deri Protocol is officially executing this move. This will impact the consumers having funds or open positions on these ecosystems. Thus, to avoid any issues, they will need to shift such positions or liquidity to the other supported chains when prompted. Following the completion of removal, the consumers will not have any capability to add liquidity or trade it through the above-mentioned networks.
Nonetheless, the operations on the rest of the supported blockchains will keep working unimpacted. This development is occurring at a time when the platform has been experiencing considerably low activity. While discussing this, the platform’s team has appreciated the support and participation of those holding $DERI in the latest voting process.
Reducing Undue Costs to Ensure Ecosystem Sustainability According to Deri Protocol, the voting on the proposal to eliminate the backing for the aforementioned networks concluded on the 31st of December. Now, the platform will remove support for zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, and Manta Network. With such moves, Deri Protocol is reportedly endeavoring to guarantee its ecosystem sustainability and eliminate undue fund expenditure.

PANews reported on February 2nd that Manta Network announced a partnership with Pruv Finance, an Indonesian provider of compliant RWA infrastructure, to bring real-world asset investment opportunities to the on-chain ecosystem. The first product launched by the two companies, Garuda Sports Fund ($GSP), focuses on investing in Indonesian paddleboard tennis courts and sports facilities, with an annualized recurring yield (APY) of approximately 30%. This asset will be integrated into Manta Pacific via a cross-chain bridge, and there are plans to open token subscriptions to the community in the future, providing ordinary investors with opportunities to participate in yield-generating RWA investments.
PANews reported on May 6th that Manta Network has announced the termination of its Manta staking program. The reason given is that inflationary staking rewards (yields generated through the issuance of new tokens) would dilute all MANTA holders over time. Staking rewards will officially cease in two weeks. Operators can exit immediately, and delegators can unstake their funds at any time via the dashboard. Funds are safe and under user control. Simultaneously, Manta Network will operate the Manta Pacific Layer 2 infrastructure completely independently, no longer relying on third-party operators. The previously announced decommissioning plan for Manta Atlantic is progressing.
AltLayer’s native token, ALT, recorded a sharp rally on Monday, June 16, forming a notable breakout candle ahead of its listing on South Korea’s leading exchange, Upbit.
According to data from crypto.news, AltLayer (ALT) surged by 104% intraday, reaching a high of $0.051 before retracing to $0.033 at press time. Despite the pullback, ALT remained up 35% on the day, with its market cap at approximately $117 million, marking its highest valuation since early February.
ALT gained traction after it secured a listing on Upbit, a tier-1 crypto exchange in South Korea.
Listings on major centralized exchanges often drive short-term price appreciation as they expand liquidity access and investor reach. However, such listing-induced rallies can also be short-lived, as early participants frequently lock in gains once the news is priced in.
Notably, the Upbit announcement was met with aggressive whale accumulation. As highlighted by Korean market commentator Yoonseok, one whale acquired 1.6 million ALT tokens shortly after the listing news broke. Another whale reportedly purchased 2.93 million ALT at an average price of $0.04.
Such large inflows are often interpreted by retail investors as bullish signals, reinforcing upward price momentum.
Speculative appetite was evident in the derivatives market as well, with Coinglass data showing a 383% surge in open interest for ALT futures, with the long/short ratio remaining above 1. This means traders were predominantly taking long positions in hopes of further price appreciation.
At the same time, onchain data from Santiment reported a sharp rise in daily active addresses, climbing from just 110 to over 10,500 in the past two days. The spike in user activity was accompanied by a positive shift in weighted social sentiment and a notable increase in Google search trends, indicating broader retail engagement.
Source: Santiment ALT price analysis On the 4-hour USDT chart, both the MACD and RSI indicators are trending higher, suggesting strengthening bullish momentum.
ALT price, MACD and RSI chart — June 17 | Source: crypto.news Price action also shows that ALT remains above both the 50-period and 100-period EMAs, with the 50-day EMA having recently crossed above the 100-day EMA, a bullish crossover typically interpreted as a signal for trend continuation.
ALT 50-day and 100-day EMA chart — June 17 | Source: crypto.news ALT is currently hovering above the $0.031 support level, which aligns closely with the May high of $0.044, now acting as a reference support zone.
If the token manages to rebound from current levels and sustain bullish momentum, a potential move toward $0.055 remains likely, a roughly 66% increase from the current price level.
Conversely, if the price breaks below the immediate support at $0.031, the next key level to watch would be around $0.023, which marked a local low on June 13. A decline toward this level would suggest a weakening of short-term bullish sentiment and may trigger further downside pressure.

AltLayer's Restaked Rollups solve Web3's biggest scalability problems by combining enhanced security, fast transaction finality, and distributed processing to handle thousands of transactions per second while maintaining connection to major blockchains like Ethereum. The protocol makes it simple for developers to create their own dedicated blockchain networks called rollups through its Rollups-as-a-Service platform, addressing the critical issue where popular blockchains like Ethereum can't process enough transactions to support millions of users. When too many people try to use these networks at once, fees skyrocket and transactions slow to a crawl. This pushes users away from decentralized applications just when Web3 needs to grow.
AltLayer has built a solution that tackles this scalability crisis head-on. The protocol makes it simple for developers to create their own dedicated blockchain networks called rollups. These rollups can handle thousands of transactions while staying connected to major blockchains like Ethereum for security.
What makes AltLayer different is its approach to security and speed. Instead of forcing developers to choose between fast transactions and strong security, AltLayer provides both through a system called Restaked Rollups.
What Is AltLayer?Dr. Yaoqi Jia launched AltLayer in June 2022. Jia previously worked as Head of Engineering at Parity Technologies Asia and co-founded Zilliqa, giving him deep experience with blockchain scalability challenges. He recognized that Web3 needed flexible blockchain networks that could adapt to different applications instead of forcing every app to compete for the same limited blockchain resources.
AltLayer operates as a Rollups-as-a-Service platform. Think of it like a cloud service for blockchains. Developers can spin up their own custom networks without needing to understand complex infrastructure. The platform supports different types of rollup technology, including optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge rollups.
The protocol works across multiple blockchain networks and supports both Ethereum Virtual Machine applications and WebAssembly programs. Developers can choose from popular rollup frameworks including OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, ZKStack, and StarkWare, allowing them to mix and match components to create rollups that meet their exact specifications.
AltLayer's approach gives each application its own dedicated space to operate with predictable performance and costs.
How Restaked Rollups WorkAltLayer's main innovation combines existing rollup technology with a security system called restaking. Traditional rollups have three key problems: they rely on single companies to process transactions, users wait hours for final confirmation, and security depends on limited validation.
Restaked Rollups solve these issues through three specialized services that work together like a security team for blockchain networks:
VITAL - Verifies transaction batches and challenges incorrect dataMACH - Speeds up transaction confirmation from hours to minutesSQUAD - Distributes transaction processing across multiple operatorsVITAL: The Verification SystemVITAL works like a quality control department. Multiple operators independently check every transaction batch that rollup networks produce. When these operators spot problems between what a rollup claims happened and what actually occurred, they can challenge the incorrect data.
This creates multiple layers of verification instead of trusting a single source. Operators put up money as collateral, which they lose if they approve false information. This financial stake ensures they stay honest and do their jobs correctly.
MACH: Fast Transaction ConfirmationMACH speeds up transaction confirmation from hours to minutes. Normally, rollup users must wait for long challenge periods before their transactions become final. MACH changes this by having operators put up collateral to immediately back valid transactions.
When operators validate a transaction through MACH, they're essentially saying "this transaction is correct, and I'll pay if I'm wrong." This immediate backing gives users confidence their transactions won't be reversed, even before the traditional waiting period ends.
SQUAD: Distributed Transaction ProcessingSQUAD tackles the centralization problem that affects most rollups today. Instead of one company controlling transaction ordering, SQUAD spreads this responsibility across multiple operators.
Single transaction processors create several risks. They can extract extra profits from users, censor certain transactions, or cause network outages if they go offline. SQUAD's distributed approach eliminates these single points of failure while making the system more fair for users.
Together, these three services make rollups more secure, faster, and more decentralized than traditional approaches.
The Rollups-as-a-Service PlatformAltLayer removes the technical barriers that prevent most developers from launching their own rollups. The platform provides a simple dashboard where users can create custom blockchain networks in minutes without writing complex code or managing servers.
The platform supports two main types of rollups, each designed for different needs.
Versatile rollup stack (AltLayer docs)Temporary Rollups for Special EventsEphemeral rollups work like pop-up stores for blockchain applications. Developers can quickly launch these temporary networks for short-term events that need to handle lots of activity. Popular use cases include NFT launches, gaming tournaments, or limited-time DeFi protocols.
After the event ends, the rollup processes all final transactions and records the results on a major blockchain like Ethereum. Then it shuts down, avoiding ongoing maintenance costs. This approach prevents temporary high-demand events from clogging up permanent networks.
AltLayer demonstrated this concept in July 2022 with its first Flash Layer rollup. The temporary network handled an entire NFT minting event efficiently before recording the final ownership data on Ethereum and shutting down.
Permanent Rollups for Ongoing ApplicationsPersistent rollups serve applications that need continuous operation. These networks stay active indefinitely, providing reliable performance for DeFi protocols, gaming platforms, and other services that require consistent blockchain access.
Developers can customize these rollups with specific settings like transaction fees, governance rules, and performance parameters. This customization allows for optimizations that wouldn't be possible on general-purpose networks where every application competes for the same resources.
Flexible ArchitectureAltLayer's modular approach supports multiple rollup software development kits (SDKs), shared sequencing services, and data availability layers. Supported sequencing services include Espresso and Radius, while data availability options include Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail. This flexibility reduces development time and costs while ensuring compatibility with existing Web3 infrastructure.
ALT Token and Economic ModelThe ALT token powers AltLayer's economic system and gives the community control over the protocol's future. The token serves multiple essential roles:
Security - Operators stake ALT tokens to participate in network services, with penalties for dishonest behaviorGovernance - ALT holders vote on protocol upgrades and strategic decisionsIncentives - Operators earn ALT tokens for providing verification and processing servicesPayments - Users pay network fees in ALT tokens for transaction processing and data storageSecurity Through Economic StakesALT tokens work alongside restaked assets to secure Restaked Rollups through economic bonding. Operators must stake ALT tokens to participate in VITAL, MACH, and SQUAD services, with the established slashing penalty system ensuring honest behavior.
This dual-token security model combines the established security of restaked ETH with ALT token incentives. The approach creates multiple layers of economic protection while giving the AltLayer community direct control over network security parameters.
Community GovernanceALT holders vote on protocol upgrades, parameter changes, and strategic decisions affecting the AltLayer ecosystem. This governance structure ensures that the protocol evolves according to community needs rather than centralized control.
The governance system covers technical parameters like slashing conditions and economic factors like fee structures. Token holders can propose and vote on improvements to make the protocol more efficient, secure, or user-friendly.
Earning and SpendingOperators earn ALT tokens for providing verification, transaction processing, and other network services. These rewards incentivize honest behavior and ensure adequate participation in network security mechanisms.
Network participants pay fees in ALT tokens for services like transaction processing and data storage. This creates demand for the token while funding ongoing protocol operations and development.
AltLayer has a total supply of 10 billion ALT tokens, with 3.51 billion currently circulating. The ALT token is available on both Ethereum and BNB Chain, providing users with flexibility in how they access and use the token. The protocol has raised $22.8 million from private token sales across two rounds, with backing from major investors including Polychain Capital, Binance Labs (now YZi Labs), Jump Crypto, Gavin Wood, and Balaji Srinivasan.
Strategic Partnerships and Real-World ApplicationsAltLayer has formed partnerships across gaming, DeFi, and AI sectors that demonstrate real-world applications of its rollup technology.
Gaming and Social ApplicationsThe partnership with Xterio showcases gaming capabilities. AltLayer deployed two OP Stack-based Layer 2 networks for Xterio: one settling on Ethereum and another on BNB Chain, both utilizing MACH's fast finality capabilities to support Xterio's goal of onboarding billions of Web3 gamers.
Cyber, Web3's biggest decentralized social network, launched Cyber L2 with AltLayer as part of Optimism Superchain. This represents the first-ever social L2 with restaking capabilities.
DeFi and Cross-Chain IntegrationAltLayer supports Swell's zkEVM Layer 2, built with Polygon CDK and EigenDA technology, focusing on liquid restaked assets. The collaboration with Injective leverages MACH technology to enhance speed and security for complex DeFi operations through inEVM applications.
Recent integrations expand cross-chain capabilities. The partnership with Polyhedra Network integrates zkBridge technology for trustless connections across over 30 Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. LayerZero integration provides cross-chain functionality across Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana networks.
Recent AI and Technical CollaborationsThe MyShell partnership involves deploying a testnet for an AI Consumer Layer 2, powered by EigenDA and Optimism technology, targeting 1.2 million Web3 and AI users.
The January 2025 partnership with Astar Network launched a MACH AVS-powered layer for Soneium rollups, demonstrating improved transaction speeds using restaked ASTR and ETH tokens. Integration with Starknet simplifies the deployment of zero-knowledge rollup technology, making advanced cryptographic solutions more accessible to developers.
Advanced Features and InnovationAltLayer continues developing features that expand what's possible with rollup technology while keeping the user experience simple:
Beacon Layer - Acts as a control center between rollups and blockchains, managing governance and cross-chain connections.Zero-Knowledge Computing - Enables complex calculations with cryptographic proofs while maintaining security.Account Abstraction - Simplifies wallet interactions so users don't need to understand technical complexity.Bitcoin Integration - Extends beyond Ethereum to let Bitcoin holders participate in securing rollups.Zero-Knowledge ComputingIntegration with Lagrange's parallel prover service enables on-chain verification of complex computations through ZK coprocessors and proof aggregation. This technology allows rollups to perform sophisticated calculations while maintaining blockchain security guarantees.
Simplified User ExperienceWallet and account abstraction features remove technical barriers that prevent mainstream adoption. Users can interact with rollup-based applications using familiar interfaces without understanding the underlying technical complexity.
Bitcoin IntegrationAltLayer is a node for Polyhedra's Bitcoin dual-staking AVS, demonstrating how the protocol can extend beyond Ethereum-based ecosystems. This integration allows Bitcoin holders to participate in securing AltLayer rollups while earning additional rewards.
Community Engagement and DevelopmentAltLayer maintains an active community through testing programs, token distributions, and educational initiatives.
Testing ProgramsThe ALTITUDE Phase II testnet in June 2023 allowed users to earn points through Galxe tasks while testing features like Beacon Layer staking and rollup staking. These programs help refine the protocol while building community engagement.
Throughout 2023, AltLayer conducted four testnet phases testing multi-sequencers, fraud proofs, staking, and restaking mechanisms. This iterative approach ensures robust technology before mainnet deployment.
Token Distribution EventsThe January 2024 airdrop distributed 300 million ALT tokens (approximately $100 million at launch) to Ethereum users, significantly boosting community participation and awareness. This distribution rewarded early supporters while spreading token ownership across a broad user base.
Technical Performance and CapabilitiesRestaked Rollups process thousands of transactions per second while maintaining security through the three-service architecture. This performance enables high-demand applications across gaming, DeFi, and AI sectors.
The modular architecture lets developers optimize costs by selecting only necessary components. Temporary rollups eliminate ongoing costs for short-term applications, while permanent rollups provide predictable pricing for long-term projects. The established penalty system makes attacks economically unfeasible, while SQUAD's distributed processing prevents single points of failure.
Future Development and RoadmapAltLayer continues expanding its capabilities and ecosystem integrations to stay at the forefront of rollup innovation.

Institutional-grade Rollups Demand More Than Performance
Choosing an ISO 27001 Blockchain Provider is a signal that an organization values long-term stability over short-term hype. This certification is a core component of a broader Compliance Framework that takes into account the legal and operational realities of the modern world. For banks, funds, credit managers, and other regulated institutions, the ability to demonstrate that their blockchain infrastructure is operated by a provider with an ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) is often a critical factor in regulatory and internal risk assessments.
Institutional-grade Rollups must be built to withstand not just hackers, but also the scrutiny of auditors. This involves:
Risk Assessment: Systematically identifying and assessing risks to information assets to support timely and appropriate risk treatment.Asset Management: Maintaining a strict registry of critical infrastructure, such as sequencing hardware and cloud environments, enforcing the principle of least privilege to ensure audited personnel possess only the minimum permissions necessary to manage the rollup. Maintaining defined inventories, ownership, and access controls for critical infrastructure, such as sequencing components and cloud environments, and enforcing the principle of least privilege so that personnel are granted only the access required for their roles.Physical and Environmental Security: Applying appropriate physical and environmental security controls to cloud environments used in the delivery and operation of rollups, in line with the ISMS scope.For regulated Web3 entrants, such as stablecoin issuers or tokenized real-world asset (RWA) platforms, AltLayer provides the best RaaS for institutional clients. We provide the technical agility of a cutting-edge L2 solution combined with the professional rigor of a global financial service provider. We are not just building institutional layer 2 solutions; we are building the trust layer for the future of finance.
The New Gold Standard for RollupsAltLayer’s achievement of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification marks a turning point in the RaaS industry. We have moved beyond the “move fast and break things” era into a period of mature, reliable, and secure Rollups. This positions AltLayer firmly among the top RaaS providers for institutional clients, offering a level of transparency and accountability that is rare in the decentralized space.
As we continue to innovate with restaked rollups, fast finality layers, and decentralized sequencing, our commitment to security remains unwavering. We understand that for our partners to build the future, they need a foundation they can rely on, one that has been tested against the highest international standards.
By integrating the principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability across our engineering practices and operational processes, AltLayer is ensuring that the next generation of the internet is not only faster but safer for everyone.
Security is not a feature, but the foundation of AltLayer’s rollups.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

PANews reported on May 28th, citing Cointelegraph, that monthly payment volume for crypto-linked debit and credit cards has increased by approximately 230% year-over-year, reaching a cumulative transaction volume of $7.8 billion this month, reflecting the rapid adoption of crypto payment products. Visa, through partnerships with on-chain native companies like Jupiter Global, holds approximately 90% of the crypto card transaction share. OKX launched a stablecoin payment card based on the Mastercard network in Europe this January, with supermarket shopping being the largest category, accounting for approximately 26%, followed by restaurant spending at 18%, and online shopping at 13%. OKX stated that true payment adoption will only be realized when cryptocurrency is used to pay for lunch. In March, Visa and Stripe's Bridge announced plans to launch stablecoin-linked payment cards in over 100 countries, initially supporting 18 countries, including Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico.

PANews reported on May 30th, citing Bloomberg, that global investors have been flocking to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix stocks, but high share prices have triggered the 10% holding limit for some funds, forcing them to passively reduce their positions. It is understood that Zurich-based GAM Investment Management and Singapore-based Jupiter Asset Management have both adjusted their portfolios to comply with the position limit rules. Statistics show that as of Thursday, global investors had net sold $63.6 billion worth of South Korean stocks, the largest monthly sell-off since 1999. Goldman Sachs analysts pointed out that if the market concentration of Samsung and SK Hynix continues to increase, they may face additional selling pressure in the future, although most of the forced selling has already been completed.
Delphi Digital says the airdrops are over, after finding that 78% to 94% of recipient wallets across six major tokens sold most of their allocation within 90 days.
The research firm tracked 3.7 million wallets over five years, arguing that free token giveaways now produce sellers rather than committed holders.
Are Airdrops Dead? Delphi Says Up to 94% of Wallets Dump Within 90 DaysAirdrops became a standard way for projects to seed communities and reward early users. However, the model has faced scrutiny lately.
Delphi studied Uniswap (UNI), Arbitrum (ARB), Jupiter (JUP), and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), among other tokens spread across four chains. Exit rates rose over time rather than settling down.
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
Holders Selling Tokens After an Airdrop. Source: X/Delphi DigitalDelphi found real dump rates ran 4 to 11 percentage points higher at day 90 than at day 30. The widely cited 30-day figure, therefore, understates the number of recipients who leave.
The firm made four core arguments for why it could get worse for airdrops. First, the cost of running fake “sybil” wallets is collapsing toward zero as automated tools make farming cheap and detection unreliable.
Second, the next wave of issuers, including tokenized treasuries and regulated DeFi, won’t send tokens to anonymous wallets. Third, the acquisition math fails, with Arbitrum paying an estimated $1.16 billion to users who left within a month.
Finally, the firm also said that outlier wins prove little. Hyperliquid (HYPE) absorbed sales through buybacks, funded by more than $1 billion in revenue. Jito (JTO) avoided farming because its eligible group stayed small.
“Token economics are starting to require real protocol performance. MegaETH locked 53% of its supply behind performance targets. Pendle routes roughly 80% of revenue into buybacks for stakers. Token distribution is moving from handouts to performance,” Delphi added.
Independent tracking had already pointed the same way. A trader previously logged 30 airdrops received since December 2024, finding only one still trading above its launch price at the time. Several had collapsed almost entirely, reinforcing the pattern.

Jupiter Predict, the prediction market arm of Solana’s favorite DeFi superapp, has announced its biggest product update since launch.
Built natively on Solana, Jupiter Forecast brings the liquidity and trade execution of propAMMs to the versatility and diversity of Prediction Markets.
Forecast comes as Jupiter Predict accelerates its growth trajectory, recoding three consecutive all-time highs in monthly volume ahead of the world’s biggest sporting and prediction spectacle.
Jupiter Forecast to Bring Fresh Liquidity to Prediction Markets Prediction markets have been one of crypto’s great success stories in recent years, with market leaders like Polymarket and Kalshi breaking out of the confines of the industry and hitting critical mass in the Web2 world.
But despite widespread adoption among retail users, prediction markets have long been plagued by a critical flaw; poor liquidity. Outside major events, liquidity on individual markets is thin, fragmented, and often insufficient for effective trading.
Solana DeFi giant Jupiter is optimistic that prop AMMs may offer a solution. In a critical update to one of its fastest-growing products, Jupiter Forecast brings prop AMM liquidity to its prediction markets. Where prediction markets typically rely on a singular liquidity pool per contract, Jupiter Forecast enables traders to buy shares in any market directly from competing market makers.
While the exact design is still unannounced, Jupiter has implied that individual markets will be tokenized, enabling greater composability across the wider DeFi ecosystem.
Jupiter forecast will make its debut with 15-minute crypto price markets, and is expected to open alternative markets up to prop AMM liquidity in the near future. Jupiter co-founder Siong Ong stipulated that the protocol can “technically create any market”, provided that makers see sufficient demand.
Jupiter Predict Records Third-Straight ATH in Monthly Volume Fortunately for market makers, trading data suggests that the demand for Solana-native prediction markets is accelerating. After originally launching in October 2025, Jupiter Predict has enjoyed a surge of activity and trading volume in Q2, recording three consecutive all-time highs in monthly volume.
The Jupiter Forecast launch comes at an opportune moment for prediction market traders. Expected to engage over 5 billion viewers, the upcoming FIFA World Cup is slated to become the most watched sporting event in history.
For internet speculators, this year’s event will be the first time in which prediction markets are part of the world’s cultural and financial zeitgeist, suggesting these venues may sit on the cusp of unprecedented economic activity.
Elsewhere in the Solana ecosystem, rival teams are reportedly preparing to launch Solana-native prediction venues. With the network’s most competitive protocols building onchain prediction markets, Solana is finally entering the prediction market race in earnest, seeking to disrupt a field dominated by Polymarket and Kalshi, a powerful duopoly that has collectively raised over $4.5B, boasting a shared valuation of $37B.
Read More on SolanaFloor Is it time to bring down $SOL inflation?
PANews reported on June 5th that Jupiter, a decentralized aggregator within the Solana ecosystem, launched Forecast, the first native prediction market on Solana. Unlike traditional models that rely on a single liquidity pool, Forecast allows proprietary automated market makers to quote independently, matching users with the most competitive current quotes. The product will be integrated into Jupiter's existing Jup Predict interface, initially offering a 15-minute window for short-term cryptocurrency price predictions, with plans to expand to other types later. Jupiter stated that Forecast is not in competition with its partner Polymarket, but rather serves as supplementary infrastructure providing additional liquidity. Each prediction market created through the Forecast platform will issue its own native token to simplify integration.
When your best-performing holdings become so dominant that portfolio rules force you to dump them, you know the market has entered strange territory. That is exactly what happened to Sam Konrad, the investment manager for Asia Equity Income at Jupiter Asset Management.
On June 8, Konrad revealed that his fund has been compelled to sell its positions in TSMC, Samsung, and MediaTek, three of Asia’s most important semiconductor companies. The reason: the AI rally has made these stocks so large within regional benchmarks that holding them violates the portfolio concentration limits that govern actively managed funds.
The numbers behind the forced selling The year-to-date performance of these three chipmakers tells the story. TSMC is up 52%. Samsung has surged 159%. MediaTek has climbed 184%.

TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix now comprise almost one-third of the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index. In local markets, the distortion is even more extreme. TSMC alone accounts for 41.5% of Taiwan’s TAIEX index. Samsung and SK Hynix together represent 55% of South Korea’s KOSPI.
“We have been forced sellers of TSMC, Samsung and MediaTek,” Konrad stated.
Konrad’s fund strategy allocates nearly half of its assets to Taiwan and South Korea, with MediaTek previously serving as the largest position. The selling was mechanical, not philosophical.
Asia’s own Magnificent 7 problem US markets spent much of 2023 and 2024 grappling with the “Magnificent 7” phenomenon, where a small number of tech leaders grew so large that the S&P 500 became a de facto tech fund. Asia is now experiencing its own version of that same structural issue, concentrated almost entirely in the semiconductor supply chain. A single company commanding 41.5% of an entire national stock index distorts capital allocation, risk management, and performance benchmarking for every fund operating in the region.
South Korean equities have experienced significant outflows as investors reassess the risks of holding positions in markets where two companies account for more than half the benchmark weight.
Passive funds have been a major driver of this concentration spiral. Approximately $510 billion has flowed into Asian markets over the past five years. A quarter of that total, roughly $127.5 billion, arrived in just the last six months.
What this means for investors Active managers who are constrained by portfolio rules become natural sellers of the most popular stocks at precisely the moment when passive flows are pushing those same stocks higher. When three companies account for a third of a major regional index, any correction in the semiconductor cycle would hit the benchmark with disproportionate force.
Active managers are increasingly looking at smaller AI-adjacent companies further down the supply chain, including packaging firms, testing equipment makers, and component suppliers that benefit from the same AI infrastructure buildout without carrying the same benchmark weight problems.

Jupiter Exchange just made it possible to trade leveraged tokenized versions of US stocks and ETFs directly on Solana. The integration brings Shift RWA’s “Series Tokens” to one of the largest decentralized exchanges in crypto, giving traders access to 2x and 3x leveraged positions, plus inverse bets, without the ever-present threat of getting liquidated.
Think of it like buying a leveraged ETF on Robinhood, except there’s no brokerage account, no KYC for secondary trading, and the market never closes. The tokens trade 24/7 as standard SPL tokens on Solana, which means they slot into the existing DeFi ecosystem like any other token.
How the tokens actually work Each token is backed 1:1 by positions purchased through Alpaca, a brokerage infrastructure provider. When someone mints a new Series Token through Shift RWA, a corresponding position gets opened on the backend. When they burn it, the position closes. The token’s price tracks the performance of the underlying leveraged ETF, not a perpetual funding rate or an oracle-dependent margin system.
In English: you get the same exposure as buying TQQQ or SOXL, but the asset lives on Solana and can be swapped, pooled, or used as collateral in DeFi protocols like Kamino or Orca.

Jupiter’s integration also includes a dedicated screener that tracks price, trading volume, holder counts, and the discount or premium each token trades at relative to its underlying leveraged ETF.
Shift RWA’s funding and liquidity Shift RWA claims to have raised a $2M seed round and assembled over $40M in liquidity across its products.
The tokens trade permissionlessly on Jupiter and other Solana venues, meaning there’s no KYC gate for buying or selling on the secondary market. Minting and burning, the process of creating new tokens or redeeming them, goes through Shift RWA’s own mechanism, which may involve compliance steps. But once a token exists and is circulating, it moves freely.
Where this fits in Solana’s tokenized equity push Prior integrations from xStocks and Ondo Global Markets laid groundwork, and a major partnership between Securitize, Jump, and Jupiter launched on May 5, 2026.
The tokenized stocks sector has grown to a market cap cited around $1B or more as of May 2026.
Shift RWA’s tokens aren’t just tradeable. They can be deposited into lending protocols, used as collateral, or paired in liquidity pools.
What this means for investors The no-liquidation feature deserves extra attention. Traditional leveraged ETFs achieve this by resetting daily. If TQQQ drops 33% in a day, you lose 33%, not your entire position. Shift RWA’s tokens appear to replicate this mechanic on-chain.
Leveraged ETFs suffer from volatility decay over time, meaning holding them long-term can erode returns even if the underlying asset trends in your direction. A 3x leveraged token that goes up 10% and then down 10% doesn’t return to breakeven, it ends up slightly lower. That math doesn’t change just because the product moved on-chain.
There’s also counterparty risk to consider. The 1:1 backing through Alpaca means traders are ultimately relying on Alpaca’s solvency and Shift RWA’s operational integrity.

Jupiter price has rebounded sharply from a multi-month low near $0.145 and is now testing the $0.20 resistance area as momentum indicators turn bullish.
Summary
Jupiter price has rallied nearly 40% from its June low, returning to a critical resistance zone around $0.20. Improved market sentiment and rising trading activity have helped fuel the token’s rebound over the past week. Technical indicators have turned bullish, with traders watching for a breakout toward higher resistance levels. According to data from crypto.news, Jupiter’s native token JUP climbed from a low of around $0.145 on June 11 to an intraday high near $0.20 on June 16.
The rebound came as traders returned to risk assets following reports that the United States and Iran had advanced toward a ceasefire framework that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease concerns over energy supply disruptions.
The improvement in market sentiment triggered gains across cryptocurrencies, particularly among high-beta altcoins that had been under pressure for much of the year. As one of Solana’s largest decentralized finance platforms, Jupiter benefited from renewed activity across the network as capital flowed back into decentralized trading applications.
At the same time, trading activity on Jupiter accelerated. Daily volume increased sharply during the rally, with reported 24-hour turnover surpassing $46 million. Rising spot demand coincided with liquidations of bearish positions on derivatives exchanges, creating additional buying pressure as traders were forced to close short positions.
Jupiter price gains momentum after reclaiming key support Jupiter’s recent price action suggests the recovery began before the geopolitical catalyst emerged. On the daily chart, JUP established a local bottom near $0.145, a level that had previously acted as a major support area.
Jupiter daily price chart — June 16 | Source: crypto.news Technical indicators have since improved. The daily Relative Strength Index climbed above 58 after spending weeks below neutral territory, while the MACD indicator produced a bullish crossover and moved back into positive momentum. On the four-hour chart, JUP also reclaimed its Supertrend indicator, which shifted into bullish territory as the rally gained pace.
Jupiter 4-hour price chart — June 16 | Source: crypto.news The recovery has carried the token through several important resistance levels. JUP moved above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level near $0.173 and later reclaimed the 61.8% retracement around $0.195 before reaching the $0.20 area.
According to chart data, the current zone around $0.20 to $0.205 has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance throughout 2026, making it one of the most important levels on the chart.
Jupiter price faces a major test at $0.20 resistance Attention is now focused on whether buyers can secure a decisive breakout above that resistance zone.
A successful move above $0.20 could expose higher levels near $0.226 and $0.245, while the May peak around $0.276 remains the next major upside target on the daily timeframe.
Failure to hold the breakout, however, could send JUP back toward support around $0.195 and $0.173, levels that bulls reclaimed during the latest advance.
The current rally follows several months of weakness across the digital asset market. During the first half of 2026, crypto assets faced declining investor participation as institutional ETF flows slowed and capital shifted toward artificial intelligence companies and large technology listings.
The prolonged downturn removed much of the speculative excess that had built up earlier in the cycle. With market conditions improving and momentum indicators turning higher, traders are now watching whether JUP can convert its recovery into a sustained breakout above one of its most important resistance levels of the year.

16 June 2026 | 19:38 Jupiter (JUP) has quietly become one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in Solana's DeFi ecosystem, yet the token's market value continues to raise questions about how crypto markets price utility, adoption, and long-term value accrual.
Key takeaways
Jupiter has processed over $3 trillion in cumulative volume while its token trades below $0.20. Coinbase, Robinhood, MetaMask, and Uniswap have all embedded Jupiter’s routing API. The fee switch has not been activated, which is the central open question for JUP valuation. DAO governance was suspended in late 2025 over token allocation disputes and remains in a recovery phase. If you evaluate Jupiter strictly by what its token is worth – roughly $0.193 as of mid-June 2026 – you will almost certainly draw the wrong conclusion. The protocol has processed more than $3 trillion in cumulative trading volume, controls between 80% and 95% of all aggregator traffic on Solana, and has been quietly embedded into the backend infrastructure of Coinbase, Robinhood, MetaMask, and Uniswap. The gap between those figures and a market capitalization of around $640 million is the central question surrounding JUP – and resolving that disconnect requires looking beyond the token’s price action and examining Jupiter’s role within Solana’s infrastructure.
What an aggregator actually does — and why it matters at scale Jupiter began as a routing engine. When a user wants to swap one token for another on Solana, Jupiter scans every active decentralized exchange on the network — Orca, Raydium, and others — and calculates which combination of pools produces the best execution price, accounting for fees, slippage, and available liquidity. The user sees a single transaction; behind it, Jupiter may have split the order across three different venues simultaneously.
The mechanism is not conceptually different from a flight comparison site: the airlines exist independently, but the aggregator determines which one gets the booking. At small scale, this is a convenience. At the scale Jupiter now operates — contributing heavily to Solana’s $34.5 billion in weekly DEX volume — it has become a critical piece of infrastructure for accessing liquidity on the network. Any application that needs access to Solana’s liquidity finds it most efficient to route through Jupiter rather than building direct integrations with every individual DEX. That structural position is what enabled the B2B pivot that defines Jupiter’s current phase.
The emphasis on broad distribution and user access is consistent with Jupiter’s stated philosophy. Speaking at Solana Summit Germany, Jupiter President Xiao-Xiao Zhu said the protocol’s “DNA” has always centered on rapid consumer adoption and globally accessible, permissionless finance, regardless of a user’s background or location.
"The DNA of Jupiter, the DNA of Solana, initially, was just rapid consumer adoption. And that DNA we will never betray."
"Self-custodial, permissionless, globally accessible from day one. Whether it's a wealthy American or a teenager in emerging markets, having that global,… pic.twitter.com/8gH0aoSYsf

How Coinbase, Robinhood and MetaMask ended up running on Jupiter’s rails The most consequential development in Jupiter’s recent history is not a product launch — it is a distribution shift. During late 2025 and into 2026, Jupiter’s routing API was integrated into the backends of Robinhood, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Uniswap. Coinbase has gone a step further: users can now execute on-chain Solana trades directly within the standard Coinbase interface, with Jupiter handling liquidity routing invisibly underneath.
This reframes what Jupiter is. The consumer-facing swap interface at jup.ag is no longer Jupiter’s primary product — Jupiter is increasingly becoming backend infrastructure that other platforms use rather than develop themselves. A closer comparison in traditional finance is a payment processing network: most users never think about it, but every transaction depends on it. Jupiter also partnered with Bitwise Asset Management to build isolated USDe-denominated lending markets, allowing institutional allocators to use real-world assets as collateral within DeFi. Separately, the Frontier Traders Program — launched alongside the Solana Foundation — offers fee rebates and prioritized access to token launches for quantitative firms processing over $500 million in monthly volume.
Jupiter vs. Uniswap vs. Hyperliquid: three different bets on what DeFi should be Situating Jupiter within the broader DEX landscape requires a direct comparison with its two most prominent global rivals — Uniswap on multi-chain spot trading, and Hyperliquid on decentralized perpetuals.
Metric Jupiter (Solana) Uniswap (Multi-chain) Hyperliquid (L1) Role Liquidity Aggregator Automated market maker AMM Perpetuals orderbook AppChain YTD Volume $1.08 trillion $2.5T+ (all-time) $750B+ (perpetuals) Fees Dynamic (routing free) Fixed: 0.01%–1.0% Maker 0.02% / Taker 0.05% Stablecoin JupUSD (yield-bearing) None (USDC/USDT only) USDH (margin clearing) Value FOR TOKEN HOLDERS Staking rewards + DAO Fee-switch token burn Insurance fund + buybacks Liquidity model Routes across all Solana DEXs Siloed into own pools On-chain CLOB (CEX-style) These design choices lead to fundamentally different business models. Uniswap requires liquidity to be deposited directly into its own pools — capital is siloed within its system. Hyperliquid runs a fully on-chain central limit order book, mirroring how centralized exchanges operate, which gives it execution advantages for derivatives but limits flexibility as a spot routing layer. Jupiter aggregates across everything it can reach, meaning its potential user base grows alongside the entire Solana ecosystem rather than being capped by its own liquidity depth.
Technical picture: above all moving averages, RSI approaching caution territory On the 4-hour chart, JUP is trading above all three key moving averages for the first time in several weeks — a configuration that typically follows a sustained accumulation phase rather than a short-term spike. The 25% weekly gain has pushed price from a low near $0.148 back above the SMA200, which now sits at $0.1868 and has flipped from resistance to support.
SMA50 at $0.1683 – price is 14.5% above it, the widest gap of the three averages, reflecting how deep the prior drawdown was SMA100 at $0.1736 – crossed to the upside earlier this week alongside rising volume SMA200 at $0.1868 – the most watched level; reclaiming it after weeks below could mark a meaningful shift in market structure. RSI 14 at 61.86, signal line at 68.82 – momentum is strong but the signal line is approaching overbought territory, suggesting the $0.20 level may act as short-term resistance before any further continuation
Beyond swaps: lending, stablecoins, and prediction markets The “DeFi Superapp” label reflects Jupiter’s rapid expansion beyond token swaps over the past 18 months. Each new product addresses a specific capital efficiency problem that the original swap interface could not solve.
Product What it does Why it matters JupUSD Yield-bearing stablecoin (built with Ethena) Earns yield automatically during DCA orders, limit orders, and prediction market activity — idle capital between trades no longer sits flat JupSOL Liquid staking for SOL Users retain full liquidity while underlying SOL generates staking and MEV-backed yields — removes the traditional illiquidity cost of staking Jupiter Lend On-chain lending protocol Completed public beta with 83,000+ active users and zero bad debt — significant in a space where undercollateralized lending has repeatedly caused collapses ApePro Low-latency memecoin terminal Connects directly to Solana’s RPC infrastructure; executes trades during high-congestion periods when standard consumer wallets slow or fail Jupiter Forecast Native prediction market (June 2026) Isolated liquidity pools designed for professional trading firms; competes directly with Polymarket Token mechanics and the fee switch question that changes everything JUP’s tokenomics reached a structural milestone in 2026: the multi-year unlock schedule concluded, bringing circulating supply to approximately 3.32 billion tokens against a hard cap of 7 billion. The DAO passed a “Net-Zero Emissions” proposal that scaled back near-term unlock commitments and paused core team vesting schedules, reducing the structural sell pressure that had weighed on price throughout 2024 and 2025.
The long-term valuation debate centers on one mechanism: the fee switch. Jupiter generates significant protocol revenue from trading activity, but currently none of it flows to JUP token holders. If the DAO activates a fee distribution mechanism — routing a portion of protocol revenue to stakers — the token’s fundamental case changes materially. That decision has not been made, and given the governance difficulties of late 2025, it is not imminent. Until it is, JUP functions as a governance token whose relationship to the protocol’s actual cash flows remains indirect.
Three structural risks that the volume numbers don’t show Bear case factors
1
Governance fractures. In late 2025, Jupiter’s core team suspended DAO voting after disputes over token allocations and voting distributions raised concerns about the effectiveness of the governance model. Since then, the project has gradually resumed certain governance activities and community discussions, but a comprehensive long-term framework for decision-making and revenue sharing has yet to emerge. Because the fee switch ultimately requires DAO approval, uncertainty around governance remains a direct obstacle to any mechanism that could link protocol revenue to JUP holders.
2
Fee volatility tied to memecoin cycles. Protocol fees have dropped as much as 29% week-over-week during quiet retail periods. ApePro and the memecoin infrastructure are profitable when speculative activity is high; they do not constitute a stable revenue floor when it is not. The institutional integrations with Bitwise and the Frontier Traders Program are intended to address this, but the revenue mix remains heavily retail-dependent.
3
Single-network concentration. Every metric cited in this article exists within Solana. If the network experiences sustained downtime, a security incident, or loses developer momentum to competing Layer-1 networks, Jupiter has no fallback. Jupiter’s investment case depends heavily on Solana remaining a leading venue for on-chain activity.
What the $1 trillion number actually means The $1 trillion figure, by itself, says little about how much of that activity ultimately benefits JUP holders. Raw numbers include perpetuals leverage, bot activity, and wash trading that inflate totals across every protocol in the industry — Jupiter is not unique in this respect. More telling is the protocol’s growing list of B2B integrations. When Coinbase — a publicly traded, regulated centralized exchange — builds Jupiter’s routing into its product without announcing it as a feature, that reflects a judgment that Jupiter’s infrastructure is more reliable than anything Coinbase could build internally for Solana execution. That kind of quiet, structural adoption is harder to manufacture than volume numbers and more difficult for competitors to replicate quickly. Whether it translates into JUP token appreciation depends almost entirely on whether DAO governance can resolve the fee switch question — and when.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Sports trading is alive and well on Solana, with a surge of World Cup activity pushing weekly trading volume on Jupiter Predict to new all-time highs.
Jupiter’s internal data suggests that sports trading now accounts for ~80% of the platform’s total volume, with 60% coming directly from World Cup related markets.
Despite trailing market leaders Kalshi and Polymarket, Solana’s budding prediction market scene is home to a diverse range of creative and experimental apps reimagining onchain events contracts.
Sports Trading Pushes Jupiter Predict Volume to All-Time High With the first week of World Cup action behind us, it’s safe to say that traders are flocking to prediction markets at unprecedented scale. Prediction markets across the industry have recorded new all-time highs in weekly volume, and Solana-based venues are no exception.
According to Blockworks data, Jupiter Predict just closed out its biggest week ever, witnessing over $2.9M in weekly trading volume, a new all-time high.
Shared exclusively with SolanaFloor, Jupiter’s internal data suggests that around 80% of this volume has been generated through sports markets, with 60% of the total being transacted through World Cup events.
Jupiter Predict’s growing activity is an encouraging sign for Solana’s prediction market sector. While the wider market is currently dominated by Kalshi and Polymarket, one of Jupiter Predict’s providers, onchain data suggests that Solana-native DeFi users are eager to trade events contracts on home soil.
Users who placed their debut predictions on the protocol on June 11, the first day of the World Cup, appear to have become some of Jupiter Predict’s most engaged users. Returning users have trended significantly higher since June 11, suggesting traders continue coming back to place more predictions on future games.
In a bid to streamline access to events contracts, Jupiter has natively integrated its prediction markets directly into its wallet.
Kalshi Commands Dominant Lead in Sector Outside Solana, prediction market leaders are also enjoying their best weeks ever, solidifying their case as the breakout crypto application of the past year. While Polymarket has historically dominated the sector, Kalshi has since eclipsed the incumbent in recent months.
According to Artemis data, Kalshi now commands 64% of all prediction market share, recording $6.4B in weekly trading volume. Solana onchain figures are certainly insignificant in the face of the prediction market duopoly, but the disparity represents a sizable opportunity for the DeFi economy, which enables democratized access to these markets at global scale.
Solana Ecosystem Experiments with Prediction Markets Despite Solana’s slow start in the prediction market race, the network’s DeFi economy is making up for its low volumes through the diversity of its app layer. Prediction Market-adjacent applications are cropping up all over the ecosystem, enabling creative new methods of trading events contracts.
Solana-based applications like Melee Markets, worm.wtf, and RideMarkets are reinventing how users interact with prediction markets. Where incumbents like Polymarket and Kalshi rely on tried-and-tested liquidity models, platforms like Melee Markets transform prediction markets into memecoin-esque assets. Worm.wtf brings leverage, and RideMarkets trades a collective narrative.
More recently, Jupiter Predict debuted Forecast, bringing prop AMM liquidity to prediction markets. Initially rolled out on short term crypto price markets, Forecast trading activity has been relatively low compared to Jupiter Predict’s main markets, though this is more likely due to the product’s infancy rather than any liquidity limitations.
