According to Miles Deutscher, the $PUMP token airdrop is strategically planned to occur weeks or months after its Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This approach is designed to prevent massive sell pressure that would likely occur if both ICO and airdrop supplies were released simultaneously. Deutscher suggests that delaying the airdrop incentivizes speculative platform usage from users aiming to qualify before the snapshot, potentially using a laddered model similar to the strategies employed by $HYPE and $JUP to reward sustained activity.

According to KookCapitalLLC, there are individuals on the platform who have chosen to accumulate $JUP instead of $BTC, a strategy they criticize as unwise. This statement highlights a trading perspective favoring Bitcoin over newer or less established cryptocurrencies like Jupiter ($JUP), suggesting a preference for the stability and proven track record of Bitcoin in the volatile crypto market.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Jupiter has initiated its first buyback of $JUP tokens, purchasing 4,885,370 tokens at an average price of $0.683 over the past 17 hours, totaling $3.33 million. All transactions were conducted on-chain via the Jupiter: Litterbox address, and the buyback is still ongoing.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Jupiter plans to allocate 50% of its protocol fee income to buy back $JUP tokens. In 2024, Jupiter generated $102 million in revenue, ranking 7th among Solana DApps, with Jupiter Perps being the main income source, holding an 84% market share in Solana PerpDEX. Revenue in December 2024 was seven times higher than in January, with a two-week spike due to $TRUMP, reaching $35.86 million, nearly 40% of last year's total. Based on last year's revenue, approximately $50 million will be used for $JUP buybacks, equating to 2.4% of its current $2.04 billion market cap.
