Jito will launch the trading app JTX in July, entering the consumer market.

BlockBeats News, May 5 — The Solana ecosystem staking protocol Jito Labs plans to launch a consumer-facing crypto trading app called JTX this July, officially moving from the infrastructure layer to front-end trading services.

JTX will initially support spot trading based on Solana, with plans to integrate perpetual contracts and prediction market features later on, including access to perpetual products through the Solana ecosystem trading platform Phoenix.

Founded in 2021, Jito currently has about 39 employees and over $100 million in cash on hand. The company performed strongly in 2025, generating nearly $6 million in a single week from popular on-chain trading activities such as the Meme coin craze, and last year received a $50 million investment from a crypto fund under Andreessen Horowitz.

Jito CEO Lucas Bruder stated that the company is no longer content with just providing underlying infrastructure but aims to directly reach users through self-built applications and promote upgrades to on-chain trading experiences.
