📢 WHO IS JANE STREET
And Why Has Crypto Not Pumped Like 2017 or 2021?
Crypto investors keep asking one uncomfortable question:
Why has this cycle felt different?
Why no explosive altseason like 2017?
Why no euphoric vertical run like 2021?
Let’s talk about the firm that keeps appearing at the center of major market events.
🏦 Who Is Jane Street?
Jane Street is one of the largest quantitative trading firms in the world.
They operate in: • Stocks
• Options
• ETFs
• Futures
• Crypto
They are also an Authorized Participant in major Bitcoin ETFs — meaning they sit inside the creation and redemption mechanism of ETF flows.
That’s not a small role. That’s structural positioning.
⏰ The 10 AM Bitcoin Theory
For months, traders observed something strange:
Bitcoin would often drop sharply around 10 AM ET.
A pattern repeated.
The theory circulating on crypto Twitter:
• Spot selling pressure at specific windows
• ETF shares accumulating
• Futures hedges hidden from public view
No official proof.
But patterns raised eyebrows.
💥 Terra (LUNA / UST) Collapse
A new lawsuit alleges that Jane Street used non-public information during the 2022 Terra collapse.
The claim suggests: • Stress on UST was accelerated
• Reserve deployment became faster
• BTC reserves were accessed under pressure
These are allegations in an active case.
But the timing continues to fuel debate.
🔗 FTX Connection
Sam Bankman-Fried worked at Jane Street before founding FTX.
FTX later collapsed in one of the largest financial disasters in crypto history.
FTX had invested heavily in Anthropic. During bankruptcy, that stake was sold. Jane Street later acquired part of it.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
But the same name keeps resurfacing.
🇮🇳 The India Derivatives Case
India’s regulator alleged expiry-day index manipulation involving a massive options strategy.
A $1B+ profit engine.
Large sections of that strategy were redacted in court filings.
The mechanics remain hidden.
📉 Why This Cycle Feels Different
Unlike 2017 and 2021:
• ETFs now dominate flows
• Institutional liquidity providers control creation/redemption
• Derivatives markets are larger than spot
• Hedge structures are invisible to retail
If a firm can: • Move size in spot
• Hedge through futures
• Layer options exposure
• Sit inside ETF plumbing
Surface data may never show the full picture.

1/ 🧵MAJOR MILESTONE: ValueChain Mainnet is LIVE on @Bybit_Official! 🌐
Why build a new L1?
Because for high-frequency trading, "good enough" wasn't enough. We hit a wall with existing chains—they couldn't handle Nasdaq-grade throughput or Visa-level concurrency.
So we built ValueChain: Infrastructure designed for speed, not just consensus.
