What is JupUSD?
What is JupUSD?
JupUSD is a dollar‑pegged stablecoin issued for the Jupiter ecosystem, initially 100% collateralized by Ethena Labs’ USDtb. It will function as primary collateral on Jupiter Perps, a liquidity asset in lending pools, and a native trading pair across Jupiter products to improve capital efficiency.
How will JupUSD be integrated across Jupiter products?
JupUSD will be staged into three primary uses. First, it will replace stablecoins in Jupiter Perps as primary collateral. Second, JupUSD will act as a liquidity asset in lending pools. Third, Jupiter will list JupUSD as a trading pair across swaps and aggregator routes.
Jupiter reported an existing stablecoin liquidity pool of about $750 million that will be gradually replaced by JupUSD. Ethena will add USDe over time to optimize yield mechanics and collateral composition.
