Solana’s decentralized exchange aggregator, Jupiter, has made a significant move in the crypto space by acquiring Ultimate Wallet, a self-custody crypto wallet firm. This strategic purchase is aimed at bolstering Jupiter’s mobile capabilities and expanding its user base by attracting millions of new users.
According to Jupiter’s recent announcement, the acquisition of Ultimate Wallet is just the beginning of its mobile initiative, which is slated to enter beta testing in May. By integrating Ultimate Wallet’s technology and team into its mobile platform, Jupiter Mobile, the company aims to accelerate its development and enhance user experience.
Ultimate Wallet also confirmed the acquisition in their announcement, assuring users that their funds are safe. They also provided details about the transition, including the sunset date for the current Ultimate app set for May 22.
This acquisition aligns with Jupiter’s goal of further expanding its user base and improving its mobile offerings in the decentralized finance (defi) space. Jupiter has already established itself as Solana’s top exchange, with a weekly trading volume exceeding billion. The addition of Ultimate Wallet will enable Jupiter to extend its product offerings into the realm of native mobile applications.
In a previous move earlier this year, Jupiter airdropped its JUP token to investors who utilized its aggregator tools. JUP has now become Solana’s primary decentralized exchange (DEX) coin, solidifying Jupiter’s position in the crypto market.
