Trending Tokens on Juejin

JUP Jupiter (+ 2.50%, circulating market cap 1.438 billion USD)

According to Gate's market data, the current price of JUP token is 0.504 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 2.5%.

Jupiter (JUP) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregation platform built on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, aimed at addressing the pain points of liquidity fragmentation and low trading efficiency in decentralized exchanges (DEX). Its core vision is to become the leading DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem, providing users with optimal trading paths, minimal slippage, and efficient asset exchange experiences by integrating multiple DEX protocols, on-chain data, and AI optimization algorithms. Jupiter addresses industry challenges such as high trading costs, complex user experiences, and market fragmentation through its core products (such as Jupiter Aggregator, Limit Order, and DCA tools).

On the news side, Jupiter tweeted that it has integrated the aggregation time tokenization platform time.fun for trading. time.fun supports the buying and selling of the time of creators, influencers, and experts, and all tokens can be traded instantly on Jupiter.

ADA Cardano (+ 1.63%, circulating market cap 27.146 billion USD)

According to Gate's market data, the current price of the ADA token is $0.751, with a 24-hour increase of 1.63%.

Cardano (ADA) is dedicated to building a secure and scalable third-generation blockchain platform that provides efficient and sustainable infrastructure for decentralized applications (DApps), smart contracts, and digital assets through a layered architecture and academically driven research and development approach. Its core vision is to promote the inclusivity and transparency of global financial and social systems, addressing pain points in traditional blockchains related to scalability, interoperability, and governance, such as high energy consumption, low transaction throughput, and community fragmentation.

In terms of news, Cardano developer EMURGO published an article explaining the redemption process for unclaimed ADA vouchers. It stated that although the vast majority of presale ADA vouchers have been successfully redeemed, there remains a small portion that has not been redeemed by the original holders. To assist these participants in redeeming their vouchers, IOG has conducted a detailed seven-year process, including multiple redemption events, to locate all participants and submit their registration information and related KYC documents. Given that most initial voucher holders are in Japan, EMURGO supports IOG in contacting these holders to facilitate redemption. Although in some cases holders have been successfully located, there are still some holders who could not be found. The Shelley hard fork has rendered the ongoing voucher redemption process for ADA unusable, necessitating a transfer to continue the redemption process. The identification process is carried out by local third parties, using various investigative methods, including home visits. EMURGO acknowledges the community's expectations for transparency and supports IOG in conducting independent audits.

Alpha Interpretation

SOON supports Camp Network launching CAMP SVM, focusing on on-chain autonomous IP.

The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Rollup project SOON announced via social media its collaboration with Camp Network to support the launch of CAMP SVM, the first SVM chain based on the SOON Stack, focusing on on-chain autonomous intellectual property (IP). This collaboration marks an important step for the Solana ecosystem in promoting the integration of blockchain technology and intellectual property. CAMP SVM, as a Layer 1 blockchain, aims to provide creators with instant IP registration, AI-driven collaboration tools, and a transparent user ownership mechanism, leveraging Solana's high performance and low-cost characteristics.

This collaboration has profound significance for the Web3 ecosystem and the creator economy. CAMP SVM, by combining AI and blockchain technology, offers new possibilities for the creation, management, and monetization of autonomous IP, attracting widespread attention from the community and developers. Discussions on the X platform show that the industry is optimistic about the potential of this innovation, believing it may bring breakthroughs for AI-driven decentralized applications and the creator economy. However, as an emerging project, the actual effectiveness and market acceptance of CAMP SVM still need time to be validated, especially as it may face challenges in the legal and practical application aspects of on-chain IP management.

Sahara AI launches SIWA developer testnet

Sahara AI announced the official launch of its SIWA testnet, a blockchain platform focused on the on-chain verification and traceability of AI assets, marking an important advancement in the decentralized AI ecosystem. The first phase of the SIWA testnet allows developers to register datasets through ERC-721 NFTs, creating verifiable and transparent ownership records. This mechanism provides an innovative solution for the intellectual property protection of AI data and models, addressing the issues of opaque data sources and unfair compensation for contributors in traditional AI development. Through the immutable nature of blockchain, Sahara AI ensures that the source of datasets is traceable, enhancing trust among developers and users.

This development is of great significance for the decentralized AI economy. The SIWA testnet lays the foundation for on-chain management and trading of AI assets, potentially reshaping AI development models and promoting fair distribution of data and models. However, challenges remain, including data privacy, legal compliance, and the cost of large-scale on-chain computation. Discussions on platform X reflect the community's optimism about Sahara AI, believing that its leading position in the integration of AI and blockchain may bring long-term value, but the actual performance of the mainnet and ecological expansion still need further observation.

The US SEC has postponed its decision on the Solana ETF application.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a delay in its decision regarding the Solana spot ETF proposals submitted by 21Shares, Bitwise, VanEck, and Canary Capital, citing the need for more time to assess relevant legal and policy issues. This decision aligns with the SEC's consistently cautious approach, especially concerning the approval of financial products involving encryption assets. According to the SEC's statement, this delay does not indicate the likelihood of final approval or rejection, but rather reflects the regulator's in-depth consideration of complex issues such as the classification of Solana (SOL) as a potential security and the compliance of ETF products.

The recent delay involves four asset management companies that had previously submitted a 19b-4 application through the Cboe BZX exchange, attempting to launch a Solana spot ETF in the U.S. Earlier, these applications were withdrawn in 2024 due to regulatory concerns from the SEC, but in early 2025, Cboe re-submitted an updated application, demonstrating the issuers' continued optimism about the Solana ETF. The market's expectations for the Solana ETF are partly fueled by the high performance and rapid growth of the Solana blockchain, whose price has surged over 2,500% in the past year, with a market capitalization exceeding that of traditional companies like Starbucks and Nike.
