Jito to Launch Consumer-Facing Trading App JTX, Expanding from Solana Infrastructure

ChainCatcher reports that Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs, said the crypto market is entering a “new phase”: an increasing number of on-chain users no longer see themselves as “crypto traders,” but simply as ordinary traders looking to trade various assets. Jito Labs plans to launch JTX, a trading terminal targeted at “professional retail” users, this summer, supporting spot, futures, and prediction markets. This means Jito will extend beyond Solana’s underlying infrastructure into consumer-facing products. Bruder believes Solana has already demonstrated its capacity to handle large-scale trading activity following the 2024 memecoin boom, attracting new users with its low costs and high speed. He also noted that as Wall Street assets gradually come on-chain, Solana is poised to become a primary entry point for mainstream traders entering the on-chain market.
