Jupiter JUP$0.258+1.0% expanded Universal Deposit to Robinhood Chain and BNB Smart Chain on September 14, bringing two new source networks into its cross-chain onramp for Solana SOL$69.76-6.9%. Assets from either chain automatically convert to USDC on arrival, the same mechanism that governs the four chains already supported by the product.
"Two more roads lead to Solana," Jupiter wrote in its announcement on September 14.
How Universal Deposit Routes Cross-Chain Assets to Solana USDC
Universal Deposit generates a chain-specific deposit address for each supported network. Users send tokens from their source chain to that address; the protocol handles bridging and conversion, delivering USDC to the target Solana wallet. Deposits that do not meet a minimum threshold accumulate until they clear the processing floor before converting.
Jupiter launched Universal Deposit on September 2 with Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Sui already live. The September 14 update adds Robinhood Chain and BNB Smart Chain, bringing the total supported source chains to six.
Why BNB Smart Chain and Robinhood Chain Extend Jupiter Onboarding Reach
BNB Smart Chain, the Binance-operated network, holds some of the largest stablecoin and altcoin liquidity outside Ethereum and Solana; its users can now move funds into Jupiter's aggregator without a separate bridging step. Jupiter processed $5 billion in swap volume in the seven days ending September 13 per Solana Compass analytics. Wrapped BNB (WBNB) is already tradeable on Solana via Wormhole W$0.00877-7.4%, but Universal Deposit removes the manual step from the process entirely.
Robinhood Chain has built a consumer-facing DeFi user base and attracts retail participants who may not hold Solana assets. Its inclusion gives Jupiter a direct deposit path from a network that competes with Solana for consumer DeFi activity, connecting those users to Solana-native applications without requiring a separate bridging workflow.
