Jupiter Earn announced the discontinuation of its JUICED Loop product on September 3, 2026. The platform is phasing out the leveraged yield strategy to prevent a sudden market exit, providing users with approximately four weeks to manually close their positions.
The wind-down process consists of three stages. The first involved immediate caps on borrow limits to prevent new positions. The second stage removed specific incentives for the loop strategy. The final stage introduces a fee magnifier in the last week of September to increase costs for remaining users.
The JUICED Loop allowed users to deposit JUICED tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins, which were then reinvested to generate leveraged yields historically ranging from 10% to over 15%. Jupiter emphasized that positions will not be automatically unwound.
The retirement of the loop strategy does not affect the underlying JUICED tokens or the JupUSD vaults. Holders of JUICED who are not using the leveraged loop will continue to earn yields from lending activities and returns on US Treasury-linked products like USDtb and BUIDL.
