Liquidity matters and JitoSOL shows why.
The Oct. 10th market crash was a perfect stress test for Solana LSTs. In the lead up, global open interest soared to ATHs making conditions ideal for a liquidation cascade. $19B was wiped out across crypto markets and a liquidity crunch hit LSTs.

During the crash, over 50% of JitoSOL trade volume was routed through incentivized pools. Deep and actively managed liquidity in these pools played a key role in maintaining the stability and protecting the jitoSOL/SOL peg.
Other LSTs didn't hold up nearly as well:
• BNSOL: Traded 300bps (-3.0%) below its redemption rate
• jupSOL: Traded 140bps (-1.4%) below its redemption rate
• INF: Traded 150bps (-1.5%) below its redemption rate
TL;DR: Deep, stable liquidity that holds up under pressure.
