Furthermore, Jupiter is incentivizing long-term staking as part of its broader strategy to create sustainable growth within its ecosystem. Around 75 million JUP tokens are reserved exclusively for staking investors. 
To encourage active staking, Jupiter has introduced a reward structure where users will receive 0.1 JUP for every 1 JUP token they stake. This approach not only boosts investor confidence but also fosters a robust staking environment on the platform.

Looking beyond January, Jupiter has laid out an even more ambitious plan for 2025. The platform aims to distribute a staggering 4.25 billion JUP tokens over the year. 
Out of this total, 4.175 billion tokens will go directly to participating users and the community, while 75 million tokens will continue to reward staking investors. Since the announcement, the price of the JUP token has been on an upward trend, currently trading at $0.857. This marks a 2.6% increase within a single day.
