Jito Foundation is set to return to the U.S. with an event in Washington, D.C. on January 8, 2026. Founder Lucas Bruder cited clearer regulation and the passing of the GENIUS Act as key factors. Jito had moved offshore amid regulatory uncertainty, including the impact of 'Operation Checkpoint 2.0' and the FTX collapse. The foundation’s return aligns with global efforts like the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation and Countering the Financing of Terrorism measures. Other firms, including Coinbase and Ripple, had also expanded abroad in response to past regulatory challenges.
