Jupiter also secured a $35 million strategic investment from ParaFi Capital to ramp up on-chain financial infrastructure for the all-in-one DeFi platform built on Solana.

Jupiter is bringing Polymarket to Solana for the first time. This is a huge step in the development of on-chain prediction markets. Moreover, it indicates Jupiter’s ambition to become a prediction hub within the Solana ecosystem.

The decentralized exchange announced the integration on X, describing the move as a way to let users trade prediction markets “on one onchain platform” with what it called the best user experience on Solana.

Jupiter characterized Polymarket as “the biggest prediction market in crypto” and said the partnership is designed to make Jupiter the most innovative predictions platform on the network.

Prediction markets move onchain to Solana

The integration represents Polymarket’s first direct expansion to Solana, a network known for high throughput and low transaction costs. Until now, decentralized prediction markets have largely operated on Ethereum or Ethereum-adjacent infrastructure. But it often faces trade-offs between fees, latency, and user experience.

By integrating Polymarket into Jupiter’s existing on-chain trading stack, the project aims to unify swaps, liquidity routing, and event-based markets under a single interface. Jupiter said users will be able to trade prediction markets alongside other DeFi products without leaving the platform.

Neither company disclosed a rollout timeline or technical specifics around custody, settlement, or compliance. However, the messaging suggests prediction markets will sit alongside swaps as a first-class product.

“Jupiter Predict” becomes a strategic focus

Jupiter’s pseudonymous founder, “Meow” (@weremeow on X), said prediction markets will be a major area of investment over the coming year. In a post accompanying the announcement, he outlined several planned innovations. This included prediction market APIs, redesigned market discovery tools, richer data on individual markets, and new mechanisms for trading and communication.

According to Meow, Jupiter has assembled a dedicated team to build out these features and will work closely with Polymarket to push the category forward on Solana. The emphasis on APIs and data suggests Jupiter is also targeting developers and applications that may want to consume prediction market data programmatically.

The Polymarket integration was announced alongside a separate funding update.

The exchange confirmed on X it has secured a $35 million strategic investment from ParaFi Capital. This was settled entirely in $JupUSD, Jupiter’s dollar-pegged token.

The investment was completed at spot price and includes an extended token lockup, suggesting longer-term alignment between ParaFi and the Jupiter ecosystem. Jupiter said the capital will be used to increase development of “on-chain financial infrastructure,” with prediction markets now positioned as a major pillar of that strategy.

The use of $JupUSD for settlement also highlights Jupiter’s push to expand its native financial stack beyond trading into payments, stable assets, and protocol-level liquidity.

Riding a resurgent prediction market cycle

Prediction markets have seen renewed interest over the past year, particularly around elections, macroeconomic data releases, and major geopolitical events.

Polymarket has emerged as one of the category’s dominant players, capturing liquidity and attention even as parts of the sector face regulatory scrutiny in key jurisdictions.

Jupiter’s move suggests Solana platforms see an opportunity to capture that demand by offering faster execution and a better on-chain experience than Ethereum-based alternatives. With Solana’s infrastructure and Jupiter’s existing user base, the integration could materially expand access to prediction markets for DeFi users.

If successful, the integration could shift activity toward Solana and add to the rapidly expanding level of competition among prediction platforms.
