Ethena Labs announced a partnership with Jupiter to launch the native stablecoin JupUSD, which is expected to go online in the fourth quarter of this year. JupUSD will be fully integrated into the Jupiter ecosystem, including decentralized perpetual contracts, trading interfaces, lending platforms Jupiter Lend, DEX partner Meteora and subsequent new products. As part of the cooperation, Jupiter will gradually convert approximately US$750 million in USDC liquidity into JupUSD. JupUSD will initially be 100% backed by the USDtb stablecoin issued by Ethena in 2024 and invested in the BlackRock BUIDL Fund. In the future, it may gradually migrate to USDe as a supporting asset.
