Does the team really care about the token price? If they do, why continue massive airdrops and unlocks at such a low price? The airdrop revenue from $JUP is simply insufficient to offset the losses from the price drop. Continuous staking over the past two years has only resulted in continuous losses, except for those who participate in airdrops (who don’t have the token’s cost basis). $JUP has been inflating and has no practical use. Not every token is BTC. As a platform token, $JUP is inherently tied to your project, so stop spouting nonsense about 1JUP = 1JUP. Haven’t you noticed how slow the team’s delivery schedule is? Everything is being delayed again and again. Jupnet is also uncertain whether it will benefit $JUP. So far, we haven’t seen what this much-hyped product has actually delivered. $aster and $hype are small teams; look at how they operate. The whole team gives the community a very arrogant feeling, just self-promoting. Do they really care about the real money users are spending on them? Good products don’t need excessive promotion through working groups and catdet. Besides issuing more $JUP, what practical effect has it had? If you can make money, a large number of users will naturally come. If the price of $JUP continues to fall, this project will inevitably fail, regardless of its usability. Good products will have good prices, and vice versa, especially in the fast-paced environment of Web3, where new products can replace you at any time.
JUP’s setback likely came from a mix of internal and market factors rather than one single cause. Early investor selling or token unlocks may have created selling pressure, while high expectations around Jupiter’s ecosystem led to disappointment when growth or utility didn’t immediately match the hype. This shift hurt volumes, revenue, and sentiment. The token’s utility may still feel unclear to some holders, adding to uncertainty.
jupiter as a whole should have focused in key components to improvise merely trading not walking like a boss owning the street this will definitely invites unconditional fuds and anti-jup narratives, strategic partnership and if ecosystem as a whole find projects deemed loss in revenue will try coordinate against jup, Competitors in the DeFi space probably amplified negative narratives to push attention toward their own projects something common in crypto but this would have acted more as an accelerant than the core cause.
The core fix is giving the token clear roles such as with meaningful influence, staking with fair rewards based on real revenue, fee discounts, or revenue share to convert holders into active participants, and upcoming developments to rebuild confidence and reduce uncertainty, Increasing on-chain activity, every governance token is struggling with a stagnant price without clear outcome.
Overall, a stagnant token usually improves when utility deepens, communication strengthens, and the ecosystem grows in ways that organically require the token.
For Jupuary, the smart approach is to focus on 50-50 method, product and token whether that includes carrots or chewables should be long term future proof and not over loading one side, Don’t assume Jupuary automatically equals buy pressure or rallies, Sentiment spikes often reverse after announcements and sells the rumor.
The General Market is dipping and not just $Jup, and team always shipping and active too.
Join our Planetary this Wednesday, as Meow will also be Live to drop some alpha.
Comparing the token performance of $hype & and $aster, if BTC continues to fall, there’s a greater than 90% probability that $jup will break 0.1. Hopefully, there will be good news soon. No one is willing to wait another two years for you to hold onto something that’s just self-proclaimed hype. When your followers leave, the shipwreck isn’t far off.
Short answer yes.
They are the largest bag holders of JUP ofc they care. Meow fro example holds like 5-10% of the supply alone.
So why has so many unlocks? That was determined pre TGE, and that’s th benefit of hindsight. They aren’t ideal ofc but they was no way to predict the future or how the market would have reacted
From the outside, it feels like the JUP story is stalling and everyone’s sort of holding their breath. So the price is sinking with the rest of crypto as there are no real guardrails. Shipping products and fixing bugs is just business as usual, unfortunately. Where’s the spirit of a journey and growth story that makes JUP special? JUP is already the best DEX out there (IMO), so it should be easy to prove it? Remind people reasons to buy and speculate on JUP and bet on a future, just like any other company or organisation. Get a feature on Coindesk. Add a comments section to the DEX so traders and bagholders can talk about crypto. If JUP profitability is really good, maybe airdrops or burns need to step up even harder. In normal corporate terms, that’s essentially stepping up dividends and share buy backs.
Their recent actions are truly bizarre. Do they even have basic economics? Can’t they tell that $10 each is far better than $0.01 for a thousand? What’s the point of having so many $JUPs at increasingly lower prices? Buybacks and burns are necessary to empower $JUPs. Other token project teams use most of their profits for buybacks and burns. Stop just saying $JUPs are valuable; the long-term price decline reflects everything. They don’t seem to have learned their lesson from Mercurial Financial. If they continue to hype themselves up, then the previous $Mer will become the future $JUP. Wanting everything will ultimately lead to getting nothing. The biggest problem for investors is believing their nonsense. Don’t blame the market. Despite the recent decline, $BTC has risen significantly in the past year, while $JUPs have fallen by over 85% with no signs of bottoming out. The product and the token are severely misaligned.
I believe that a small percentage is interested in whether it will stay or disappear or be replaced by something else. The majority want a quick profit. No matter how hard the founders try, it will take another effort.
As we watch Aave go through there current governance changes Jupiter could end up in the same position in the future.
Currently the price looks like an opportunity to acquire more JUP.
Lots of new products shipping. Coinbase integration. New names getting involved.
This is not a quick flip but an investment in the future of defi. Jupiter has the most client friendly platform for new onboards and I believe we are just lucky to have such great entry points.
Besides. We should not be counting on centralization of JUP holdings by the top brass but getting new platform users involved and excited about JUP. Any ideas about how to grow the user base and how to return capital to users is more the appreciated.
Having more activity within the community always helps. Rewarding the community is the first step to get more engagement.
JUP team are about to remove the only reason to hold and stake the token, so no, the team do not care about the token price. They think they know better but will wind up ruining the protocol.
