Jupiter and Ethena Labs Partner to Launch Solana-Based Stablecoin JupUSD

New Stablecoin to Power Jupiter’s Expanding DeFi Ecosystem

Jupiter, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on Solana, has unveiled plans to launch a new Solana-based stablecoin named JupUSD in partnership with Ethena Labs. The token is expected to go live in mid–Q4 2025 and will serve as the core liquidity asset across Jupiter’s growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

According to Jupiter’s announcement, JupUSD will be fully collateralized by Ethena’s USDtb, a stable token backed by short-term U.S. Treasury assets. Over time, the firm also plans to integrate Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe, to enhance yield optimization and diversify collateral composition.

“JupUSD will be deeply integrated into every layer of Jupiter’s ecosystem — from perpetual trading and lending pools to liquidity markets,” the company said.

JupUSD will plug into every major part of the Jupiter stack, including:

Integration and Collateral Structure

The collaboration highlights a growing trend toward white-label stablecoin issuance, where established DeFi protocols partner with infrastructure providers to issue branded, asset-backed tokens. Ethena Labs, the issuer behind USDe and USDtb, operates a stablecoin-as-a-service framework, enabling other projects to create custom stablecoins using its collateral and risk management infrastructure.

At launch, JupUSD will serve as the main collateral on Jupiter Perps, the protocol’s perpetual futures exchange. Jupiter’s existing $750 million in stablecoin liquidity will gradually transition to JupUSD, increasing the platform’s self-sufficiency and reducing reliance on external stable assets.

A representative from Ethena Labs commented that “this partnership demonstrates how white-label stablecoin technology can strengthen liquidity, transparency, and scalability across major DeFi networks.”

A Shift in the Stablecoin Market

The move comes amid rapid expansion in the global stablecoin market, which recently surpassed $300 billion in market capitalization. Analysts note that white-label stablecoins could become a dominant trend as protocols seek to retain liquidity and offer on-chain dollar stability under clearer regulatory frameworks.

With both Solana’s high-speed architecture and Ethena’s institutional-grade collateral backing, JupUSD could emerge as a key liquidity instrument fueling the next wave of decentralized finance innovation on Solana.
