In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Kash Dhanda, COO of Jupiter, breaks down how Jupiter is evolving from Solana’s leading DEX aggregator into a full DeFi super app. He explains how Jupiter helps users get the best trading routes, why Jupiter Lend is growing through its partnership with Bitwise and Ethena, and how the platform is prioritizing security after recent DeFi exploits. The conversation also covers Jupiter Mobile, stablecoin payments, tokenized equities, prediction markets, and why Solana is becoming a major hub for real financial activity beyond meme coins. Kash also explains how meme coin mania stress-tested Solana and helped strengthen the network for more serious DeFi, payments, and tokenization use cases.
