Moonshot Targets 2M Users With 250x Crypto Leverage
On March 14, 2026, Moonshot International revealed a major expansion into derivatives, launching a mobile leverage trading product for its more than 2 million users. The new offering provides up to 250x leverage on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). By integrating fiat on-ramps like Apple Pay and Venmo, the platform allows users to initiate leveraged positions directly without needing a crypto wallet, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for onchain derivatives.
This move extends Moonshot's strategy of simplifying complex crypto products for a retail audience, following its success in making memecoins accessible. The perpetual futures contracts have no expiry date, allowing users to maintain positions as long as they are sufficiently collateralized. The product is designed to bring the high-volume activity of leverage trading, which has historically been confined to complex professional platforms, to a mobile-first, mainstream user base.
Jupiter's $264B Volume Underpins Strategic Integration
Moonshot International selected Jupiter Perpetuals as its execution layer, citing the protocol's deep liquidity and robust infrastructure on the Solana network. With over $264 billion in perpetuals volume in 2025 and more than $3.5 billion in total value locked (TVL), Jupiter commands over 75% of the market share for perpetuals on Solana. This scale ensures the platform can handle significant trading volume without performance degradation.
Beyond liquidity, Jupiter's non-custodial and deterministic execution model was a key factor. The protocol's architecture, which has undergone three independent security audits with no history of material exploits, provides a framework designed to hold up under regulatory scrutiny. This compliance-focused infrastructure is critical to Moonshot's strategy for expanding its consumer finance products globally.
The Moonshot team is amongst the smartest, most driven group of people I have ever met. What they’ve built is the kind of product that can bring millions of new users into DeFi — and we want Jupiter’s infrastructure to be the foundation they build on.
