Xiao-Xiao J. Zhu

Xiao-Xiao J. Zhu spoke at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as president of Jupiter. He was a panellist on “Building Sustainable Yield in DeFi: Lending, Liquidity and Risk”, on the Taostats Stage from 13:35 to 14:05 on 3 June. Tuongvy Le and Travis Hayes were the other panellists, and Christine Lee moderated. The session placed Jupiter’s president in a discussion connecting the mechanics of lending and liquidity with the risks involved in generating yield. That programme record establishes his participation without assigning him a specific position from the panel.

His president title is supported by Securitize’s dated announcement of 5 May 2026 and independently corroborated by a BTC-ECHO interview published on 6 July. Both identify him with Jupiter, keeping the current role separate from earlier career material and from his June conference billing.

The May announcement described a collaboration between Securitize, Jump Trading Group and Jupiter for onchain trading of tokenised equities. In that arrangement, Jupiter supplied a user-facing distribution and access point, Jump supplied liquidity, and Securitize supplied the tokenisation infrastructure. The announcement gives concrete context for Jupiter’s work at the interface between financial assets and decentralised trading.

In the July interview, published from a fireside conversation at Solana Summit Germany in Berlin, Zhu explained Jupiter’s super-app ambition through the fragmentation users encounter in DeFi. He described separate applications for different use cases, repeated registrations and additional wallets as parts of that experience. He also said Jupiter did not want to become a technology gatekeeper, distinguishing its intended approach from interfaces that control customer funds or user data. Those are his documented public positions in the interview. They give the profile a clear account of his product focus without relying on personal career achievements or reconstructing what he said in Paris.
