One of the Wall Street's biggest high-frequency trading firm of Jump Trading with over 700 head count worldwide has been allegedly quietly accumulating on various Cryptocurrencies. The spotlight has been cast upon Jump Trading by a Messari Crypto researcher Mason Nystrom with revelations that the company is accumulating quite heavily on some alts.
- The Crypto Analyst has revealed that the discovery of the trading firm's Etherum based holdings were with help of nansen.ai a tool for helping analysis on tokens accumulations and distributions.
- Apart from Bitcoin, Etherum, Serum & BNB holdings the firm is allegedly in possession of eight ERC-20 based alt coins which include: Compound, Maker, Synthetix, Huobi Token, Numeraire, Orchid, Hxro & Keep Network.
