Jito will launch the consumer-facing trading application JTX, moving from the Solana infrastructure to the forefront

Jito Labs co-founder and CEO Lucas Bruder stated that the crypto market is entering a "new phase": an increasing number of on-chain users no longer see themselves as "crypto traders," but rather as ordinary traders who simply wish to trade various assets.

Jito Labs plans to launch a trading terminal called JTX for "professional retail" traders this summer, supporting spot, futures, and prediction market trading. This means Jito will extend from the Solana underlying infrastructure to consumer-facing products.

Bruder believes that Solana has proven its ability to support large-scale trading activities after the memecoin market in 2024, attracting new users with low costs and high speed. He also stated that as Wall Street assets gradually move on-chain, Solana is expected to become the entry point for more mainstream traders to enter the on-chain market.
