According to Cryptopolitan, the Solana ecosystem's decentralized aggregator Jupiter has launched the prediction market Forecast, which is the first native prediction market on Solana. Unlike traditional models that rely on a single liquidity pool, Forecast allows proprietary automated market makers to quote independently, and the system matches users with the currently most competitive quotes.The product will be integrated into Jupiter's existing Jup Predict interface, initially launching a short-term cryptocurrency price prediction market with a 15-minute window, with plans to expand to other types in the future. Jupiter stated that Forecast is not in competition with its partner Polymarket, but rather provides supplementary infrastructure for additional liquidity. Each prediction market created through the Forecast platform will issue its own native token to simplify integration.

Bernstein reiterated its "Outperform" rating on Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) and maintained a target price of $67, implying about a 72% upside from the current stock price of $38.97. Figure's Q1 2026 performance was strong: loan issuance reached $2.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 113%; adjusted revenue was $167 million, a year-on-year increase of 92%, exceeding market expectations by 6%; adjusted EBITDA was $82.7 million, with a profit margin of about 50%, slightly above market expectations. However, the GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18, about 9% below expectations, primarily impacted by $26 million in equity incentive expenses.Bernstein's analysis suggests that this performance should reshape the market's perception of Figure, as it is not a traditional credit company, but rather a "tokenization-driven capital market platform," with core profits coming from network fees and operational leverage, and it maintains a pricing model based on a 25x EBITDA valuation for 2027. Additionally, the tokenization ecosystem continues to expand: the yield-bearing security token YLDS reached $598 million (up 80% quarter-on-quarter); the balance of stock lending products was $368 million (up 79%); and the small business loan segment contributed $6 million in revenue. Figure's current stock price is still not far from the 2025 IPO issue price of $36, but there remains a significant gap from the historical high of $78.

The decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter announced the launch of the Token Verification API (VRFD), allowing Launchpads, DEXs, and AI agents to directly integrate verification functions into the token creation process, achieving programmatic verification.The API uses a three-step process: developers create and sign a transaction to burn 1,000 JUP on Solana, then submit the verification request along with the token metadata update. This transaction does not require Gas fees, and developers do not need to hold SOL to pay transaction fees; they only need to hold at least 1,000 JUP in their wallet to submit. Jupiter is positioning VRFD as the standard infrastructure for all projects on Solana.
