Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder on why they built JTX — and who it’s for:
“There’s this class of crypto traders... they don’t really view themselves as crypto traders anymore. They’re traders. They want to trade narratives. They want to trade RWAs, perpetuals, prediction markets, and crypto assets via the same interface.
A lot of the front ends today, they target the average swapper or the meme coin sniper. The pro retail audience isn’t being served.”
