Summary Financial Accountability & Market Fairness Advocates
This article reports on a lawsuit alleging insider trading by Jane Street during Terra's $40 billion collapse, emphasizing the alleged use of non-public information to front-run trades. The content strongly engages Articles 7-8 (equal treatment and effective remedy), Article 19 (free expression and information access), and Article 21 (democratic participation), with particular focus on accountability for alleged violations of market fairness. The article advocates for transparency and legal remedy as mechanisms for protecting economic rights, though structural privacy concerns (form tracking without visible consent) create a minor tension with Article 12.

And oddly, suddenly the daily 10 AM Jane Street BTC sells stop and suddenly crypto is able to rally...

Is there an article about this written by a human? The “it’s not X. It’s Y” is too distracting.
wuiheerfoj 2026-02-26 02:00 UTC link
10mins is a lifetime in capital and crypto markets - I find it hard to believe that trading 10mins after the Terraform Labs swap hit the chain constitutes insider trading.

The claim of artificial price inflation with Jump sounds more questionable but TFA doesn’t seem to put it front and centre

As always, Matt Levine has the best take on this:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2026-02-24/ai-...

"I am sorry. But if you go to Jump Trading and Jane Street and say “hello, I have an unregulated poorly designed mechanism that could lead to $50 billion of market value collapsing overnight, would you like to trade with me,” they are going to say yes, but their eyes are going to light up, you know? If at Time 0 you give them an extremely gameable system that can produce billions of dollars of profit, at Time 10 your system is going to be a smoking wreckage and they are going to have billions of dollars of profit. That’s their whole job, you know? I couldn’t tell you in advance what all the intermediate steps will be, and in fact in hindsight I cannot tell you what the intermediate steps actually were, how Jump and Jane Street made money off the collapse of Terra. But as a heuristic, I mean, come on. Terra was like “hello we have a balloon full of money, here is a pin, dooooooon’t pop the balloon.” Guess what!"

I'm unclear what insider trading means in the context of crypto. Inside what?

Probably coincidence - general market is up strongly too. Or, too hard to tell anyway.

This this this so much. Thanks for pointing it out.
