Jupiter wanted a piece of the stablecoin market, hence the creation of $JupUSD.
After reviewing the logic, it essentially involves channeling the yields from RWA (like US Treasury interest) into the Jupiter ecosystem and its users. The pegging mechanism uses 90% USDtb reserves and 10% USDC as a buffer to ensure stability.
👉Interlude: You can exchange Jupiter for JupUSD and deposit it into the Lend pool, earning an annualized interest of approximately 6.06%.

The market capitalization of tokenized US Treasury bonds has now reached $7.5 billion, a 50-fold increase since 2024.
These assets are tokenized money market funds primarily backed by US Treasury bonds.
They offer real-world yields, are highly stable, and easy to use on-chain.
Therefore, they are increasingly widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Main uses in DeFi ↓
➥ Lending Collateral
- Users deposit tokenized Treasury bonds to borrow stablecoins or other assets and earn yields simultaneously.
- Examples: Aave Horizon RWA, Morpho Vault, Euler Strategy
➥ Liquidity on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)
- Used for liquidity pools to earn trading fees and rewards.
- Examples: Uniswap, Curve, Balancer
➥ Yield Strategies and Structured Products
- Yields can be split or optimized.
- For example: Pendle, Convex, and other aggregators
➥ Stablecoin Backing
- Some stablecoins are backed by tokenized treasury bonds.
- For example: USDtb issued by Ethena, primarily backed by BUIDL.
➥ Tokenized Treasury Bonds in Perpetual Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)
Yes, some of these assets are used in perpetual trading.
- Helix launches BUIDL index perpetual contracts
- JupUSD (backed by BUIDL + USDtb)
Used as collateral/underlying asset for perpetual contracts, generating yield for DUSD positions like @StandX_Official
A major trend in 2026
- More RWA-focused perpetual contract platforms are coming, such as @OstiumLabs
- Tokenized Treasury bonds will become standard collateral for perpetual contracts
- Strong demand from institutions like @rails_xyz
- More regulatory compliant than more volatile crypto assets
Tokenized US Treasuries bring real yield and stability to DeFi and perpetual contracts.
By 2026, they will transform from "icing on the cake" to core infrastructure.
