The quick take

Price: $0.306, -5.2% ↓ in 24 hours and -11.5% ↓ over seven days (CoinGecko, 23:40 UTC).

Watch: Whether $JTO holds above its 24-hour low of $0.302.

What happened

$JTO traded at $0.306 at 23:40 UTC, per CoinGecko. Jupiter’s price feed read $0.3066 at the same time, a gap of just 0.07%.

Over the past 24 hours the token ranged from $0.324 to $0.302, per CoinGecko. Hourly closes on Binance’s JTO/USDT pair show a dip near 04:00 UTC, a short bounce by 08:00 UTC and a steady slide through the evening.

The bigger picture is weak. CoinGecko puts the 30-day change at -37.8% ↓. The token sits about 95% below its record high of $6.01 from Dec. 7, 2023, and above its record low of $0.218 from Feb. 5, 2026. Its market value was $166.5 million, with $19.0 million traded in 24 hours.

Why it moved

Jito’s blog shows no new post since Sept. 28, so no project-specific cause is confirmed. The drop matched a broad Friday sell-off across crypto.

Bitcoin fell 4.4% to $68,162 and Ethereum ($ETH) fell 4.5% to $1,924 in 24 hours, according to LiveCoinWatch at 23:41 UTC. Solana lost 4.4% to $77.93, per CoinGecko.

Jito’s staking pool felt the same pressure in dollar terms. DefiLlama shows Jito Liquid Staking at $802.5 million, down 3.5% in a day and 13.4% in a week. That figure moves with the price of $SOL, the coin held in the pool.

Who’s buying and selling

On-chain pool data gives a mixed picture. DexScreener’s top $JTO pool, an Orca JTO/SOL pair with $187,387 in liquidity, logged 730 buys and 632 sells in 24 hours.

GeckoTerminal’s top pool, Orca’s JTO/JitoSOL pair with $811,575 in liquidity, showed 372 buys and 424 sells. Both pools carry only a small slice of total trading, so they hint at mood rather than settle it.
