Bullish
Jupiter Ultra V3’s launch introduces significant performance and cost improvements to Solana’s DEX ecosystem. In the short term, traders may increase activity on Jupiter due to lower execution fees, positive slippage, and stronger sandwich attack protection, boosting SOL network transaction volumes and potentially driving SOL demand. The expansion of gasless trading and lower minimum trade size further incentivizes retail participation, reinforcing positive momentum. Over the long term, Ultra V3’s institutional-grade features and improved user experience could attract larger trading volumes and capital inflows to Solana-based DeFi, strengthening market confidence in SOL. These factors combined suggest a bullish outlook for SOL, as enhanced platform utility often correlates with increased token demand and network adoption.
