Jito Launches JTX Spot Trading Platform on Solana

The self-custodial platform combines professional trading tools, tokenized assets and Jito-powered execution, while a new governance proposal directs most platform fees toward JTO buybacks and burns.

Jito Launches JTX Spot Trading Platform on Solana

Jito has launched JTX, a self-custodial spot trading platform built on Solana that gives users access to crypto assets, memecoins and tokenized equities through a professional trading interface.

JTX is designed for active traders, offering limit orders, time-weighted average price execution and integrated TradingView charts. The platform runs on Jito’s execution infrastructure, which is intended to protect users against sandwich attacks and other forms of harmful maximal extractable value during trade execution.

What Is Jito JTX?
JTX is a self-custodial trading platform built by Jito to bring professional execution, advanced trading tools and a wider range of assets to Solana.

The launch represents an expansion into consumer-facing trading infrastructure for Jito, which is best known for products including the JitoSOL liquid staking token and its work on Solana transaction execution and block building.

JTX aggregates liquidity across multiple sources on Solana, including automated market makers, central limit order books, and other available trading routes with verifiable execution, making JTX a unified platform through which traders can access multiple asset categories without giving up custody of their funds.

The first 1,000 users on the JTX waitlist, ranked according to referrals, received access at launch. A second group is scheduled to gain access July 15, with the remainder of the waitlist expected to be onboarded throughout the week. Users can check their eligibility through the JTX website.

JIP-38 Governance Proposal

The launch was accompanied by JIP-38, a Jito governance proposal that has now passed and connects JTX trading revenue directly to the JTO token.

Under the proposal, 80% of fees generated by JTX are sent to the Jito DAO. That entire share would then be used for automated, onchain purchases and permanent burns of JTO for at least one year. The remaining 20% is retained to support the continued development and operation of the platform.

The system, called the Rev Splitter, creates a transparent connection between activity on JTX and demand for JTO. Buybacks and burns are executed programmatically onchain, allowing the community to independently verify how much revenue was collected and how the funds were used.

The mechanism does not require capital from the DAO’s existing treasury. Instead, purchases are funded by new revenue generated through trading activity on JTX.

JIP-38 makes JTX an important part of Jito’s broader effort to create more direct utility and value accrual for JTO. Rather than functioning only as a governance asset connected to Jito’s infrastructure businesses, the token is now economically linked to the performance of a user-facing trading product.

JTO is now up over 11% from its Sunday midday low of $.58.
