SushiSwap Taps Jupiter For Solana Liquidity; Native Swaps Go Live Feb 9
The DeFi veteran integrates Jupiter’s aggregator to enable seamless SOL-EVM cross-chain trading and memecoin access directly from the Sushi interface.
SushiSwap is finally listing Solana on its menu. The multi-chain veteran confirmed a full integration with aggregator Jupiter, set to go live tomorrow, Feb 9. The update enables users to execute cross-chain swaps between Ethereum (EVM) networks and Solana directly within the Sushi UI, effectively treating Solana as just another chain in its aggregator stack.
The Jupiter Route
Rather than bootstrapping its own liquidity pools from scratch on Solana, a capital-intensive graveyard for many EVM ports, Sushi is routing order flow through Jupiter. This allows immediate access to Solana’s deep liquidity for memecoins, tokenized stocks, and RWAs without the friction of fragmenting liquidity.
The integration specifically targets the user experience gap in bridging. Instead of juggling a bridge interface and a DEX, users can swap ETH → SOL (and vice versa) in a single transaction flow.
This brings the entire Solana ecosystem, from blue chips to the trenches, to Sushi’s interface, powered by Jupiter’s routing.
Market Reaction
Despite the functional expansion, the market treated the news as a “show me” event. SUSHI failed to catch a bid, drifting to $0.21 (-1.2%) as volume remained thin. In contrast, JUP saw a slight uptick, trading firmly at $0.17 (+4.5%) as the integration reinforces its dominance as Solana’s liquidity gatekeeper.
This move aligns with Head Chef Jared Grey’s broader strategy to pivot Sushi toward high-performance chains, following the earlier announcement of the Susa perpetual DEX. By leveraging Jupiter, SushiSwap effectively outsources the execution layer while attempting to retain the frontend user relationship, a critical battleground as aggregators continue to commoditize the underlying AMMs.
