Jane Street Resumes Trading as Sebi Lifts Suspension

Sebi has lifted the trading ban on Jane Street, a US-based trading firm, after it deposited Rs 4,843.57 crore in an escrow account. The restriction was initially imposed due to accusations of market manipulation. Jane Street's trading activities will now be closely monitored by stock exchanges.

In a significant development, markets regulator Sebi has lifted the trading ban imposed on Jane Street, a US-based proprietary trading firm. The decision follows the firm's compliance with Sebi's directive to deposit Rs 4,843.57 crore in an escrow account.

The restriction was originally placed after Jane Street was accused of market manipulation, leading to significant gains between January 2023 and May 2025. With the deposit secured, Jane Street is now allowed to resume trading, and Sebi has emphasized the need for strict compliance and oversight.

Sebi underscored its commitment to the integrity of the securities market, directing stock exchanges to monitor Jane Street's activities rigorously to ensure no further manipulative activities occur during the ongoing investigation.
