Jump Resumes Full U.S. Cryptocurrency Operations After Regulatory Challenges
Jump Trading is resuming full-scale U.S. cryptocurrency operations after a period of reduced activity due to regulatory challenges. Key points include:
- Jump has continued trading and market-making in digital assets globally while U.S. crypto trading volume is increasing.
- The firm plans to hire crypto engineers and fill U.S. policy liaison roles.
- Regulatory scrutiny intensified following the collapse of Terra Luna and FTX, leading to a reduction in U.S. operations, including staff cuts at Jump Crypto.
- Jump has not participated in the U.S. crypto ETF space but may consider involvement, particularly with an anticipated Solana ETF.
- Jump is actively involved in the Solana ecosystem, contributing to projects like Firedancer aimed at enhancing blockchain transaction throughput.
Jump declined to comment on these developments.
