Insider: Trading giant Jump is restructuring its US crypto business

Chicago trading giant Jump is in the process of resuming its US cryptocurrency business to full operational status, after scaling back related business operations over the past two years due to regulatory scrutiny and uncertainty.

Sources revealed that while Jump has been maintaining digital asset trading and market-making activities in other parts of the world, the volume of cryptocurrency trading in the US is currently accelerating. Jump plans to hire a group of cryptocurrency engineers and will begin filling US policy and government liaison positions in due course. Against the backdrop of the Trump administration's relaxed regulations, Jump believes now is the right time to fully resume its US operations.
