Jupiter Exchange, a Solana-based DEX aggregator, is facing criticism after Q4 ASR stakers were asked to export their seed phrases into the Jupiter wallet to claim rewards on mobile and desktop.

For the Jupuary 2026 airdrop, the project reduced its planned JUP token distribution from 700 million to 200 million following a community vote over dilution concerns.

On Friday, Jan. 23, 2026, crypto market cap hovered near $3.1 trillion as Bitcoin traded around $89,200 and Ethereum at $2,930.
