Jupiter launches Forecast, eyes 15-minute crypto bets on Solana

- Jupiter debuts Forecast, a native Solana prediction market with competing market makers - Launch follows notable price declines in JUP and SOL On June 4, 2026, Jupiter, Solana’s leading decentralized exchange aggregator, launched Forecast, which it described as the blockchain’s first fully native prediction market. According to CoinDesk on June 5, 2026, the platform aims to boost on-chain pricing and liquidity for ultra-short-term cryptocurrency price predictions by introducing a new competitive market-making model. According to CoinDesk on June 5, 2026, Forecast differentiates itself from standard single-pool platforms by allowing multiple proprietary market makers to post competing quotes, and this structure is intended to drive improved pricing accuracy and deeper liquidity for users. In addition, the platform integrates with Jupiter’s existing Jup Predict interface for seamless user access and issues native tokens for each new market. According to CoinDesk on June 5, 2026, Jupiter clarified that Forecast will complement, not replace, its ongoing partnership with Polymarket, and this approach is designed to let users tap a wider range of prediction markets while still benefiting from Jupiter’s native Solana infrastructure. According to CoinDesk on June 5, 2026, the launch coincided with sharp price moves, as Jupiter (JUP) fell 9.65% and Solana (SOL) declined 5.23%, based on CoinMarketCap data. As of June 5, 2026, 09:09 UTC, CoinMarketCap showed JUP trading at $0.164, down 7.09%, while SOL traded at $65.463, down 4.657%.
