Chicago-based trading giant Jump is ramping up its cryptocurrency operations in the U.S. after scaling them back due to regulatory scrutiny and uncertainty. The company has seen an increase in crypto trading volume in the U.S. and is looking to hire crypto engineers and fill policy and governmental liaison roles. The previous U.S. administration had tried to stifle the digital assets sector, but the situation has since reversed. Jump had faced regulatory scrutiny after the collapse of the Terra Luna stablecoin and FTX, leading to a pullback in the U.S. with the spin-out of its Wormhole project and a reduction in staff. Jump may consider participating in the U.S. crypto ETF space, and it has had involvement in the Solana ecosystem with projects like Firedancer.
