Jupiter to Issue $612M JUP Tokens in Wednesday Airdrop
Jupiter, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, will airdrop 700 million JUP tokens to its community on Wednesday in what it is calling the “largest airdrop in history.”
The airdrop is a part of the project’s annual “Jupuary” event, which was voted into existence alongside another event in 2026 in a governance vote in December. It is scheduled to start at 15:30 UTC.
Initial concerns were raised about the sustainability of supply increase, prompting the proposal to be amended to include a token audit and burn schedule over the next month.
At the time of writing JUP is trading at $0.87 after sliding by 2% over the past 24 hours. The total value of the airdrop is set to be $612 million.
Bitcoin Mining Economics Expected to Be Stable, Profitable in 2025, Canaccord Says
Bitcoin (BTC) mining is likely to remain profitable this year with the economics of production holding steady, Canaccord Genuity said in a research report Tuesday.
The broker said mining fundamentals are strong, “with cost-to-mine sitting somewhere in the ~$26,000-$28,000 range per bitcoin for most leading players.”
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading around $105,000 at publication time.
Management and investor attention is also increasingly being drawn toward alternative uses for these companies’ sizable power supplies, especially artificial intelligence (AI) data center hosting.
Bitcoin miner Core Scientific (CORZ) signed a 12-year contract with AI hyperscaler CoreWeave in June last year. The deal was viewed as a game changer for the sector.
“Early demand forecasts point toward AI dwarfing the traditional cloud hosting market over time,” analysts led by Joseph Vafi wrote.
More co-hosting deals are expected to be announced early this year, with potential news from Galaxy Digital (GLXY) and Applied Digital (APLD), the report said.
Many of the larger publicly traded miners are using their access to capital to upgrade their fleets following last April’s reward halving event, and this is strengthening their competitive position and share of the network hashrate, Canaccord said.
The hashrate refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions on a proof-of-work blockchain and is a proxy for competition in the industry and mining difficulty.
