Overview
Jump Trading is an American proprietary trading firm founded in Chicago in 1999 that trades its own capital across futures, equities, options, fixed income and cryptocurrency using automated strategies. It is unusually secretive even by the standards of its industry, publishes almost nothing, and competes on latency, research quality and infrastructure it builds itself, including its own microwave and fibre network routes. Headquartered in Chicago with offices in London, Singapore, Shanghai and elsewhere, it employs researchers, quantitative developers and low-latency engineers, and it also operates the crypto arm Jump Crypto.

Products
Jump Crypto
The digital asset trading and infrastructure arm, historically also a major contributor to blockchain protocol development. Its exposure to the 2022 collapses made it one of the few times the firm appeared in public reporting at all.
jumptrading.com
Quantitative Research
Signal research and strategy development carried out by internal research teams. The firm competes for the same mathematics and physics graduates as the largest quantitative funds and pays accordingly.
jumptrading.com
Low-Latency Infrastructure
Networks, hardware and systems built in house, including private microwave and fibre routes. Microseconds have measurable value in this business, so infrastructure is a research programme rather than a purchase.
jumptrading.com
Market Making
Continuous two-sided quoting that supplies liquidity across futures and options markets. Profits come from very small spreads at enormous volume, which makes execution cost and latency the decisive factors.
jumptrading.com
Proprietary Trading
Automated trading of the firm's own capital across global markets. Having no external clients means no reporting obligations or redemption pressure, which is why firms like this stay private and silent.
