Summary

Jito, once the largest protocol on the Solana blockchain by total value locked (TVL), has fallen to fifth place as its TVL dropped below $1 billion for the first time since February 2024. The decline from $3.77 billion to under $1 billion represents a loss of approximately $2.77 billion, or about 73%. This sharp fall signals reduced capital allocation in Jito’s ecosystem and a reshuffling within Solana’s decentralized finance (DeFi) leaderboard.
