Siong1987 tells Blockhead that Jupiter is "doubling down on Solana" as the dev hires will help the protocol build more CEX features for the DeFi ecosystem as they continue to scale up.

He also said that the demand for CEX features has been validated as over 15,000 wallets use their services to facilitate US$15 million to US$20 million in trade volume daily.

On the question about his move to hire despite the market outlook, his decision remains grounded in data. "Bull and bear markets happen all the time, but you can see from our daily active users, Solana is widely used. So we will keep building."
