Jumper Unveils Independence and Token Sale as it Aims to Become Onchain Finance Super-App
British Virgin Islands – September 28, 2026 – Jumper, a leading consumer application for onchain asset movement and trading, today announced its transition to an independent company and plans for its inaugural JUMP token sale via Legion. The move marks a significant growth phase for the platform, which has already facilitated over $40 billion in lifetime volume and boasts more than 100,000 monthly active users, establishing itself as the top aggregator by bridging volume.
Expanding Ambitions Beyond Bridging
Initially gaining traction through cross-chain trading, Jumper is now broadening its scope with the ambition to become the definitive super-app for onchain finance. This envisioned platform will serve as a single destination for users to execute a wide range of financial activities, including swapping assets, bridging between blockchains, trading perpetual futures, accessing tokenized stocks and other real-world assets, and exploring yield opportunities. Ultimately, Jumper aims to provide access to any asset available on the blockchain.
“Bridging was the starting point for Jumper, and we’ve grown into the #1 aggregator by bridging volume with more than 15% market share,” stated Marko Jurina, CEO of Jumper. “As more financial assets move onchain, the opportunity gets much bigger than bridging. We want Jumper to become the application users open whenever they want to trade, invest, or move value onchain.”
New Products and Strategic Spin-off
Jumper has already expanded its offerings to include advanced trading and real-world assets. Its upcoming major launch, Jumper Perps, is set to aggregate perpetual futures venues into a unified trading experience and is expected to go live in the coming weeks. Each new product is designed to generate fresh volume and revenue for Jumper while enhancing the value proposition for its existing user base by consolidating onchain activities within a single application.
Originally incubated within LI.FI, Jumper is now being established as a standalone venture with its own dedicated capital, leadership, and strategic roadmap. The two entities will focus on different aspects of onchain finance growth: LI.FI will concentrate on orchestration infrastructure, while Jumper will serve as the consumer-facing application.
JUMP Token Sale and Token-First Ownership Model
The upcoming Legion sale will represent Jumper’s first capital raise. The proceeds are earmarked for accelerating product development, user acquisition, and expanding distribution across Jumper’s evolving product suite. The JUMP token is slated for a separate launch following the fundraising process.
This fundraising structure underscores Jumper’s commitment to a token-first ownership model, aligning stakeholders through a single asset. “Jumper is not conducting a separate equity financing round alongside JUMP token, reflecting a deliberate decision to align the key stakeholders,” Jurina explained. “Users, contributors and investors will hold the same asset. We believe the token should be the only way to have ownership and exposure to the value being created by Jumper. There shouldn’t be one group holding equity and another group holding a token.”
Jurina further elaborated on the company’s philosophy: “Getting here has meant pushing against a lot of incumbent processes and thinking that still treat the token as something separate from the underlying business. We think that model needs to change. If crypto is serious about creating new forms of ownership, the people who use, support, and build these businesses should be able to participate directly in the value they help create. We want Jumper to be at the forefront of that shift. We believe token-first ownership should become an industry standard, and we want to help lead that change.”
