Merger of cryptocurrency companies

​The decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter, built on the Solana blockchain, has announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Moonshot, an app that allows users to purchase memecoins using Apple Pay.

On January 25, Jupiter's founder, known by the pseudonym Meow, shared the news on X:“I’m excited to announce that Jupiter Exchange has acquired a majority stake in Moonshot. The team behind this app is one of the smartest and most dedicated groups of people I’ve ever worked with.”

Currently, Jupiter ranks third among Solana’s DeFi protocols, with a total value locked (TVL) of $2.83 billion, according to DefiLlama. It follows only Raydium and Jito in the rankings.

In addition to Moonshot, Jupiter has also announced the acquisition of SonarWatch and the integration of its portfolio tracking tool into Jupiter’s platform.
