Jupiter Exchange has launched native staking as collateral on Jupiter Lend, allowing users to borrow against instant stake $SOL without converting positions into liquid stake tokens.
$30 billion of it $SOL is naturally expanded.
The largest pool of capital on Solana, which produces returns but does not have access to DeFi.
That changes today.

The feature unlocks more than $30 billion in native stakes $SOL for decentralized finance. So far, $SOL holders who had staked directly with validators were effectively locked out of the credit markets unless they first switched to liquid staking derivatives such as jitoSOL.
With the update, Jupiter Lend automatically detects supported staked positions and represents them as on-chain nsTOKEN vaults.
Users can borrow up to 87% of the value of their staked position, with a liquidation threshold of 88%. Staking rewards continue to increase in the background.
Six validators will be supported at launch: Jupiter, Helius, Nansen, Blueshift, Kiln, and Temporal. Each validator has its own vault, represented as nsJUPITER, nsHELIUS, nsNANSEN, nsSHIFT, nsKILN, and nsTEMPORAL respectively.
Jupiter said the rollout is intended to make native staking $SOL liquid for DeFi while remaining completely onchain and non-custodial.
