“We’re excited to share that Ultimate and our mobile team has been acquired by Jupiter, Solana’s leading exchange,” Ultimate Wallet confirmed in the announcement.

The company assured users that funds were safe and provided details about the transition, including the sunset date for the current Ultimate app, May 22.

The acquisition of Ultimate Wallet aligns with Jupiter’s goal of expanding its user base and enhancing its mobile offerings, signaling further growth in the decentralized finance (defi) space.

Back in February, Jupiter airdropped its JUP token to many investors who have used its aggregator tools. JUP is now Solana’s main decentralized exchange (DEX) coin.
