Jito has announced the launch of JTX, a self-custody trading platform for Solana, set to debut in July 2026. JTX aims to provide a professional-grade trading experience akin to centralized exchanges while allowing users to maintain full control over their assets. The platform integrates charting tools, multiple order types, and features like perpetual contracts and prediction markets into a single interface, targeting advanced traders who seek more than simple swap interfaces. Jito, known for its foundational infrastructure in the Solana ecosystem, leverages its deep understanding of on-chain transaction mechanics to enhance execution quality on JTX. The platform's self-custody model ensures that users' assets remain in their wallets, addressing the risks associated with centralized exchanges. JTX's launch is part of Jito's strategy to bridge the gap between on-chain and off-chain trading experiences, offering a comprehensive solution for professional traders on Solana.
