Regarding the initial circulating supply of JUP, totaling 1.35 billion tokens, Jupiter’s team members have designated 74% for the airdrop, as disclosed by Jupiter’s pseudonymous founder known as “Meow” in a forum post.

Jupiter’s token airdrop coincides with the trading protocol achieving a milestone of over $71 billion in total trading volume, as reported on Jupiter’s website. Currently, Jupiter ranks as the second-largest decentralized exchange, boasting a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $657 million.
