JUP up 7% on Tuesday and 4th day in a row. The rally got a boost after they announced a $150M USDC allocation to the DeFi lending ecosystem.

This allocation is going to Jupiter Liquidity Provider (JLP) loans. Users can borrow against yield bearing JLP tokens. In case of liquidation Jupiter avoids market wide selloff by burning these tokens to reclaim underlying assets – an approach to stabilize market behavior and investor confidence.

According to DeFiLlama, Jupiter’s TVL went from $2.81B to $2.97B in 24 hours. As TVL approaches $3B it’s a strong indicator of the protocol’s adoption.
