Company mission
To build toward the next frontier in crypto infrastructure.
Our take
In recent years, cryptocurrencies have exploded in popularity, and Jump Crypto is one of the companies looking to take advantage of that fact. Its aim is to bring efficiencies to the crypto market, going beyond just trading to pursue an investors-as-builders strategy. (Half of its developer team actually ship code for protocols like Solana.)
The company has experimented with a variety of ways of deploying capital in the ecosystem, as part of its goal of staying ahead of developments in the market. Unfortunately, it has also been the centre of quite a bit of controversy.
This includes associations with Do Kwon's Terra/Luna project (that led to criminal charges again Kwon), and a suit from Fracture Labs for allegedly orchestrating a pump-and-dump scheme. We've yet to see how the company will fare under the weight of these controversies, but the departure of the firm's President certainly spells some changes on Jump's horizon either way.
