<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

Jump Trading was founded in 1999 by two former pit traders, Paul Gurinas and Bill Disomma, who met in the Deutsche Mark pit at the <a href="Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange" title="Chicago Mercantile Exchange">Chicago Mercantile Exchange</a> (CME). While the firm got its start in the open outcry pits, Jump Trading does nearly all of its trading electronically.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

The company has made substantial investments in high-frequency trading and infrastructure, including a Belgian microwave tower once owned by NATO, purchased in 2013 by a U.K. affiliate.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

Following the <a href="2010_flash_crash" title="2010 flash crash">2010 flash crash</a>, Disomma, Gurinas, and COO Matt Schrecengost met with <a href="Commodity_Futures_Trading_Commission" title="Commodity Futures Trading Commission">CFTC</a> chairman <a href="Gary_Gensler" title="Gary Gensler">Gary Gensler</a> to discuss the definition of spoofing as a disruptive trade practice as well as transparency and access to <a href="Swap_Execution_Facility" class="mw-redirect" title="Swap Execution Facility">SEFs</a>. This meeting contributed to regulatory efforts to implement new market rules stemming from the <a href="Dodd%E2%80%93Frank_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Dodd–Frank Act">Dodd–Frank Act</a>.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

In April 2014, Jump was one of six high-speed trading firms subpoenaed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman regarding their trading strategies, as well as the special arrangements they may have with <a href="Exchange_(organized_market)" title="Exchange (organized market)">exchanges</a> and <a href="Dark_pool" title="Dark pool">dark pools</a>.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

Gurinas and DiSomma also founded a venture capital firm, Jump Capital, in June 2012. By January 2016, the firm had invested in 30 companies. Jump Capital also invested $5 million in The Small Exchange in May 2019, a start-up retail trading futures exchange.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lawsuit">Lawsuit</h2></div>

On May 9, 2023, a class action suit was filed against Jump Trading and the President of Jump Crypto, Forbes 30 under 30 alumni Kanav Kariya,<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> for violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, CFTC Regulations, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit alleges Jump Trading participated in market manipulation of the stable coin UST and aided and abetted Do Kwon, alleging, "Jump had made over $1.28 billion in profits from selling the LUNA tokens it received at a steep discount in exchange for artificially propping up the price of UST and aUST."<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> The lawsuit alleges Jump Trading used their acquisition of the wormhole bridge and investment in the Solana blockchain to artificially compel growth, as UST was one of limited stable coins offered in this ecosystem.

On December 20, 2024, Jump Trading's subsidiary, Tai Mo Shan, agreed to pay $123 million to the <a href="U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> (SEC) to settle allegations of misleading investors about the stability of UST.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>
