Solana-based decentralized exchange Jupiter announced it will integrate the leading prediction market Polymarket onto its platform, marking Polymarket’s first expansion to Solana, while also securing a $35 million strategic investment from ParaFi Capital to accelerate its on-chain financial infrastructure.
Jupiter, a major decentralized exchange aggregator on the Solana blockchain, revealed plans to integrate Polymarket, one of the largest crypto prediction markets, directly into its platform, allowing users to trade prediction contracts within the Jupiter interface without leaving the application.
This marks the first deployment of Polymarket on Solana, broadening Jupiter’s product suite beyond traditional swaps and liquidity routing to include event-driven markets.
In tandem with the integration announcement, Jupiter confirmed that ParaFi Capital has made a $35 million strategic investment in its native JUP token, with the transaction settled entirely in Jupiter’s dollar-pegged token, JupUSD, and accompanied by an extended lockup period for the acquired tokens.
Jupiter says the capital will help accelerate development of its broader on-chain financial infrastructure, with prediction markets expected to play a central role in the coming year.
The move positions Jupiter to offer a more comprehensive decentralized finance experience, bringing event-based prediction markets — spanning politics, macroeconomic data, sports outcomes and more — into one unified platform alongside its existing swap functionality.
The aim is to make Jupiter a hub for on-chain predictions on Solana, attracting users who want diversified ways to engage with decentralized markets.
Prediction markets and institutional backing expand Jupiter’s on-chain offerings
Prediction markets have gained traction across the crypto space, with platforms like Polymarket recording billions in trading volume in recent months, reflecting growing interest from traders in markets tied to real-world events, not just price speculation.
The $35 million investment from ParaFi Capital, executed at spot price using JupUSD and including a token lockup commitment, reflects institutional interest in Jupiter’s roadmap and confidence in its strategy to build out an on-chain financial ecosystem that goes beyond simple exchange services.
While Jupiter has not provided a detailed timeline for the full rollout of Polymarket’s integration, it has outlined plans to build supporting infrastructure, including prediction-focused APIs, enhanced market discovery tools and new trading mechanisms, to underpin the new feature set.
Market observers note that combining prediction markets with Jupiter’s existing DEX and liquidity infrastructure could attract new users and trading activity, especially those interested in event-driven strategies that differ from traditional asset swaps or yield generation.
Overall, Jupiter’s Polymarket integration and strategic investment boost signal a broader push to expand the scope of decentralized finance on Solana, enhancing Jupiter’s role as a foundational platform for next-generation DeFi products and on-chain financial innovation.
