CFTC Launches Investigation into Prominent Cryptocurrency Company
In a major development, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has initiated an investigation into Jump Crypto, a well-known cryptocurrency company. The CFTC is specifically looking into Jump’s trading and investment activities within the crypto industry.
Jump, a Chicago-based trading firm, has had a turbulent few years. Renowned for its expertise in algorithmic trading, the company was once highly active as a market maker and investor in the crypto market. However, it faced a series of hacks and crashes that led to a significant setback. As a result, Jump has scaled back its involvement in the crypto sector, canceling two prominent projects and withdrawing from the competition for a spot in the Bitcoin ETF market.
In addition to these challenges, Jump faced further controversy in February 2023 when the SEC filed a lawsuit against Terraform Labs and its founder, Do Kwon. Kwon, who created the failed TerraUSD stablecoin, was accused of fraud by the SEC. However, Jump was not charged in the lawsuit. After a trial held earlier this year, the jury ruled in favor of the SEC in April.
