US EditionIndian Regulator Bars U.S. Trading Firm Jane Street From Accessing Securities Market
- India’s market regulator has prohibited U.S.-based trading firm Jane Street from participating in the country’s securities markets and frozen approximately $566.3 million in alleged illicit profits as of mid-2025.
- The regulator took action after investigating manipulative trading strategies where Jane Street artificially influenced benchmark indices like the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty, despite previous warnings issued in February 2025.
- SEBI's order stated that Jane Street executed large-scale, intensive trading of index constituent stocks and futures around expiry dates, which distorted the true market conditions and breached fraud-related regulations.
- The interim order stated Jane Street's entities are prohibited from any market dealings and directed banks to ensure no debits occur without SEBI permission to secure Rs 48.4 billion pending further probe.
- This enforcement reflects SEBI's heightened scrutiny of foreign institutional investors operating in India’s expansive derivatives market, particularly in cases where sophisticated trading strategies may challenge the distinction between legitimate trading and market manipulation.
