Solana took over as DeFi's top network for spot trading in 2024
Since then, it's facilitated over $2.8T in swaps -- roughly 32% of all decentralized spot trading
Within that market, one platform stands out:

Whether coincidental or not, the launch of Jupiter's $JUP token in January 2024 marked the start of Solana's spot dominance
And since then, Jupiter hasn't looked back
Here are 3 reasons I'm bullish:
#
1#: Solana's Dominant DEX
The numbers don't lie -- Jupiter is the driving force behind Solana's surge in trading activity
Since 2024, Jupiter accounts for:
- 44% of all Solana spot volume
- 86% of all Solana DEX aggregator volume
- 53% of all Solana perps volume
In fact, Jupiter has routed and facilitated roughly 1/7 of all DeFi spot volume since 2024!
#
2#: Strong Financials
Jupiter's dominance in spot and perps trading has also made it one of Solana's top-earning apps
Since 2024, Jupiter's $350M in revenue ranks 5th among all Solana-based apps
But what's even more important is the value that flows through to tokenholders
Since Feb 2025, over $100M of Jupiter's revenue has been used for $JUP buybacks, which ranks its holders' revenue as:
- #
2# on Solana
- #
6# in DeFi
#
3#: $JUP Fundamentals
Going forward, the aforementioned holders' revenue will continue to make a positive impact on $JUP, as 50% of all protocol revenue is designated for repurchases
Over the past year, buybacks have taken over 3.1% of $JUP's max supply (~6% of circulating supply) out of circulation
And under the current program, if Jupiter repeats its 2025 revenue total, we could easily see double-digit percent of the circulating supply bought back in a single year
That's my bull case on
