Online reports that Chicago trading giant Jump is returning its U.S. cryptocurrency business to full operations after the company scaled back the size of its operations in the past two years due to regulatory review and uncertainty. According to people familiar with the matter, although Jump has been maintaining digital asset trading and market-making activities in other regions of the world, the volume of crypto transactions in the United States is currently accelerating. Jump is planning to hire a group of crypto engineers and will begin filling U.S. policy and government liaison positions in due course. Against the backdrop of Donald Trump's administration's deregulation, Jump believes now is the right time to return U.S. operations to full operations.
