Jumper to Launch JUMP Token Sale on Legion on September 29

Jumper is set to open its JUMP token sale on Legion next week, as the crosschain trading app pushes beyond bridging and swaps toward a broader suite of onchain financial products.

The sale opens on September 29 at 1:00 PM UTC and runs through October 2 at 1:00 PM UTC. Eligible participants will be able to submit pledges through Legion, though doing so does not guarantee an allocation. Pledge-based sales, in which demand is measured before allocations are finalized, have become a common feature of crypto token launch platforms.

The offering marks the first time Jumper has raised capital independently. The company is also becoming an independent business as it works to position itself as what it calls a "super-app for onchain finance" — an approach increasingly common among crypto platforms that began as single-purpose tools.

In a departure from the structure of many crypto projects, which divide ownership between equity investors and token holders, Jumper says there will be no separate Jumper equity. JUMP is intended to be the asset through which users, contributors and investors participate in the platform's growth.

The fundraising follows Jumper's buildout of its existing business around crosschain trading. According to the company, the platform has processed more than $40 billion in lifetime volume and serves more than 100,000 monthly active users.

Jumper is now seeking to extend that distribution into other areas of onchain finance. Alongside its core swap and bridging products, the platform is developing four newer verticals: yield, advanced trading, tokenized real-world assets and perpetual futures.

Jumper Earn offers one-click access to onchain yield strategies and recently surpassed $10 million in attributed total value locked. Jumper Advanced targets more active traders with tools including limit orders, time-weighted average price execution and dollar-cost averaging. The company has also launched an interface for trading tokenized stocks and other real-world assets, while Jumper Perps is expected to aggregate perpetual futures venues under the same interface.

For scale, the $10 million in TVL attributed to Jumper Earn sits well below the more than $40 billion in lifetime volume the platform reports across its products, a marker of how early these newer verticals remain relative to the bridging and swaps business that built Jumper's user base.

The strategy is designed to keep users inside Jumper for more of their onchain activity rather than having them move between separate applications for bridging, trading, yield and tokenized assets. Jumper says each additional product also gives the platform another potential source of transaction volume and revenue as it attempts to monetize the distribution it has already built through bridging and swaps.

The sale is not available to participants in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba and sanctioned regions of Ukraine. Access in the European Union is also subject to restrictions through Legion. Geographic exclusions of this kind are standard in token offerings, which often limit access where local rules complicate public sales of digital assets.

JUMP is expected to launch separately following the fundraising process, making the close of the pledge window on October 2 and the token's subsequent debut the next milestones for the platform.
