Solana’s Jupiter pumps 12%, this might be the reason

Solana based decentralized exchange aggregator, Jupiter, seems to be gone on a buying spree as the crypto bull run took a halt before entering into the next phase. The exchange announced the acquisition of some leading aggregators at the ongoing 2024 Solana Breakpoint conference.

Jupiter’s native token JUP turned out to be the biggest gainer of the day among the biggest 100 cryptos as its price jumped by over 12%. It is expected that the decentralized exchange’s latest move will also push Solana to breach new heights.

We’re also proud to acquire @SolanaFM, a native Solana explorer who has been chewing glass for 3 years

No one better than an explorer to 10x our data and infrastructure capabilities.
