The Solana-based MEV infrastructure project Jito, a nonprofit foundation, is relocating its headquarters to the United States. Jito Labs’ Lukas Bruder, the CEO, said the move was driven by the crypto industry’s banking-service bans that made operating in the U.S. difficult, but with the passage of the Genius Law and advancing legislation on crypto market structure, the organization decided to return as the digital asset regulatory environment becomes clearer. The Jito Foundation is currently the largest MEV infrastructure provider in the Solana ecosystem, having built a structure that automates the revenue sharing between block producers and validators.
