Jupiter brings Polymarket to Solana and lands $35 million investment deal
Summary
Solana-based decentralized exchange Jupiter announced it will integrate Polymarket, the largest crypto predictions market, onto its platform, aiming to establish Jupiter as a comprehensive on-chain predictions hub. This integration will allow users to trade prediction markets directly on Jupiter. Concurrently, Jupiter revealed it secured a $35 million strategic investment in its JUP token from ParaFi Capital, settled in JupUSD, with ParaFi agreeing to an extended lockup period. Jupiter's co-founder, meow, stated that "Jupiter predict" will be a major focus for the coming year, involving innovations in prediction market APIs, user experience for market discovery, and novel trading mechanisms.
