wake up babe, new offramp just dropped.
(oh btw it's entirely free)
just use @JupGlobal to turn USDC into local fiat in your bank account.
supports AED, INR, GBP, EUR, CAD, USD, and a bunch of others.
what currency should we add next?
English

@mert I use Coinbase as my primary on-ramp because I can easily move fiat from my bank account to USDC and then send it to Solana wallet with zero fees. The only negative is the 6 day hold on large amounts. If I had another feeless option I would use it.

@TurntUpDylan If I have $100,000 invested in $JUP and you have $100 invested, why don’t think your vote should have the same power as mine? The truth of the matter is that people with real skin in the game voted in the best long term interest of the token and people with very little wanted pay
English

Pretty decisive outcome.
24,500 wallets voted.
13,000+ went for Jupuary, so most actual people wanted the airdrop to happen.
But we all know how this game works: it’s not about headcount, it’s about bag size.
Voting weight rules everything.
- Wallets with 1M+ $JUP sent 82% of their power to Net-Zero.
- Top 10 whales backing zero emissions = 22.5% of the entire vote weight.
No matter how much we close our eyes, crypto runs just like TradFi under the hood. Big stakeholders and aligned crews steer the direction. They put the vote out there, it looks democratic and open, but once the big bags are committed, it's mostly theater for optics. Massive proposals like this don't even make it to the floor unless the outcome's already lined up.
That doesn’t necessarily make the outcome wrong, but let's not pretend the "community" plays much of a part in any important decision making for most protocols.
DAOs, decentralization, etc was always just a manufactured narrative. These were just flashy crypto marketing terms that LARPed to "change the system." All this lost it's punch as the lights turned on in the club over the years.
The idea that governance tokens derive real value from the voting rights they grant starts to feel like hot air when you see how concentrated influence actually is. If a handful of big positions can consistently drive major decisions (as we've seen with the Net-Zero vote), it undercuts the pitch that every holder has meaningful say. To be clear, this is not specifically a crypto thing. It's just the way the world works.
It's no surprise why so many governance tokens trend to zero. The "governance premium" evaporates when people realize participation doesn't translate to control, and there's often no residual claim on equity or upside if the protocol pivots, gets acquired, or winds down.
If the project pivots tomorrow, or the team decides to restructure, you're typically left holding a token with no enforceable ownership rights, no dividends, and no guaranteed payout.
Clean exits are rare in crypto because it was built for fast upside, not for lasting stability. The mechanics that make generational wealth possible on the way up also make long-term planning almost impossible.

@notLugo Yah and that is why BTC and the rest of the crypto market is also down….🤦♂️
English

@worthtrippingg Anyone with real skin in the game voted for it and are good with the results. This is a long term investment not a farming strategy
English

The results are in: The Jupiverse has spoken 🪐
75% voted for Net Zero Emissions, while 25% wanted Jupuary to continue!
This means no airdrop for now, prioritising long-term sustainability over short-term plays.
It’s a bold move that defines the next era of $JUP. Are you okay with the outcome? 👇

English

@MikeTheGambler_ Key words being “long term” When the market improves JUP will as well. I suspect we have not seen bottom yet.
English

@oldhawksol In the pre-vote discussion, they said Jupuary would still happen, but it would be delayed (they also said the snapshot would be preserved)
English

@marinonchain I voted over 300k weight for zero emissions, but also left feedback that they should follow through with partial Jupuary to Fee payers and stakers….indef delay the rest
English

Is everyone really voting for Net-Zero Emissions in this Jupuary vote?
This breakdown by voting power is interesting:
✅ < $1K $JUP staked = 40% Net-Zero
✅ $1K – $10K = 60% Net-Zero
✅ $10K – $100K = 70% Net-Zero
✅ $100K – $1M = 80% Net-Zero
✅ $1M+ = 90% Net-Zero
The bigger the stake, the stronger the support for Net-Zero.
Whales are overwhelmingly in favor - but even low & mid-sized holders lean that way.
Only the smallest cohort is split.
Curious how you interpret this data? 👀

English

@marinonchain Long term value will be created when there is real economic alignment. Real revenue sharing is the way…
English

How should the Jupiter community move forward after this Jupuary vote? 🪐
It’s already been two years since the first Jupuary.
Back then, the excitement around $JUP was electric.
The first Jupuaries & ASR periods were genuinely rewarding for many of us.
Yes - a lot of things could’ve been handled better since.
I understand why some feel frustrated that Jupuary has now come down to a DAO vote.
No matter the outcome, part of the community will be disappointed.
So maybe the bigger question is:
✅ How do we actually unite once the results are in?
✅ How do we create long-term value for $JUP from here?
Genuinely curious to hear real perspectives from all sides! 👇

English

@Dutch_Solanian @marinonchain @JupiterExchange I voted zero emissions and left feedback stating I believe they should still do a partial Jupuary
English

Are you going for short term gains = Option 1
Or are you going for structural value = option 2
@marinonchain @JupiterExchange
English

800M+ $JUP will vote on the future of JUP tomorrow Feb 17th – Feb 21st.
Right now, there are 3 camps:
> Option 1 = Run the airdrop on Feb 28th.
> Option 2 = Bring JUP net emissions to zero.
> (We need Op3) = “Do the airdrop and stop team emissions + buy back Mercurial investor allocation”.
Which side are you on?
But let’s be honest…
🐬 Dolphins
🦈 Sharks
🐋 Whales
are the once to shape the future and they only want just one thing: Green JUP.

English

@marinonchain Why do they only give shitty options?
1.Status Quo
2. Freeze everything
How about a hybrid solution?
English

@oldhawksol I’m for a hybrid solution. Follow through with partial Jupuary (fee payers and stakers with 1yr staking bonus) and indefinitely suspend all others. Then option 2 with the following caveat, fund ASR through buybacks (Economic Alignment)
English

After months of posting about the need to curb $JUP inflation and end the monthly free token distributions to the team, we finally have the chance to vote on it.
We don't want 'free tokens'; we want a sustainable future for the Jupiter ecosystem.
I'm genuinely happy that @weremeow, @sssionggg, and the entire team share this vision for a healthier ecosystem.
Option 2 is the only logical solution. Not only will the team stop receiving monthly $JUP, but they will also be buying back tokens from Mercurial investors!
Plus, if any team member sells, the company will initiate a buyback, that’s incredible.
It’s vital that these buybacks continue. We should hold a vote before summer to push the buyback rate toward 90%.

English

@oldhawksol @jup_studio Bring actual value to the token…economic alignment is a must!!!
English

Two important things that will skyrocket $JUP revenue and could break $30M per week:
1.Add more perps
2.Make @jup_studio better and promote it more aggressively
What else am I missing?

English

@marinonchain @debridge HODL….the Gold/Silver run is far from over!!!
English

To keep trust in the platform, you can’t only share your wins…
So yeah - I panic bought the top of gold 😭
Couldn’t handle being sidelined, finally hit buy…
and the market drops into its strongest correction in 40+ years. Elite timing 🤝
At least the trade itself was smooth.
Order was filled cross-chain in under a minute via deBridge ⚡️

English

@0x_abu Use it to fund ASR = zero emissions and revenue sharing….this is the beginning of economic alignment
English

What should happen with the buyback $JUP on litterbox in the future?
As a JUP staker, you will be able to vote on that soon.
What would you like to see happen with it?
130M JUP was burn as the committee agreed on the last vote, 4% of circulating supply.
44M JUP siting on litterbox so far since after burn.

@sssionggg I use a CC like cash. Every month the statement balance is automatically paid in full. I pay zero fees & zero interest because I never carry a balance. The CC does not have an annual fee either. The card then pays me 1-5% for every penny I spend. It’s convenient & free (for me)
