Jupiter, a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) has completed the second launchpad (LFG) vote to identify the two projects that will debut on its platform.

Jupiter Exchange's second LFG vote concludes

The Jupiter DEX completed its LFG vote on Monday, with two projects, Sanctum and UpRock, meriting the top slots for the next ecosystems to launch on the Jupiter platform.

Based on the report, the record voter turnout between Sanctum and UpRock has accounted for over 230 million in staked JUP in Votes, composed of 64% (146,758,089) votes in favor of Sanctum while 20% (45,463,495) went to UpRock.

Sanctum, which is committed to boosting the adoption of liquid staking across Solana, focuses on enabling greater DeFi participation. Its partnership with Jupiter is set to achieve and deploy JupSOL, with  Sanctum's technology allowing for deep liquidity integration. This would make it easy to swap into and out of JupSOL on Jupiter Exchange.

On the other hand, UpRock is an innovative DePIN network committed to simplifying how users earn and utilize crypto assets.

With the two projects launching atop Jupiter, the future of the LFG program looks bright, and explains the 5% surge in the JUP price. Based on an official report from Jupiter, the next round of LFG introductions will be held in the coming week. New and innovative projects have been invited to join the platform and contribute to the growth of the Solana ecosystem.

At the time of writing, Jupiter’s JUP token is trading for $1.1673. If the JUP bulls are able to hold the Jupiter token price above the 50% Fibonacci placeholder of $1.3029, it would entice more buy orders to catapult the price high. In the meantime, however, the likely play is a rejection below the 50% Fibonacci placeholder, which could see JUP price drop to the $1.0000 psychological level. 

An extended fall below $0.7542 would produce a lower low, solidifying the downtrend for the Solana-based token.

To confirm the ongoing uptrend, however, the Jupiter price must break and close above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of $1.4324. A strong move above this critical level could pave the way for for a continuation rally, flipping the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level into a support above $1.6168. In a highly bullish case, the gains could stretch all the way to the $1.8476 range high, around 56% above current levels.
