Dear Readers, If you don’t think there are powerful institutions that want bitcoin to fail, I have a bridge to sell you. And it leads to a dark room on Buried Ostrich Head Street.
Have you heard of Jane Street? The Zerohedgers out there will have, but many people outside of the quantitative finance sphere might not have. It has for many months been a conspiracy theory that Jane Street is whipping crypto markets around at particular times of the day. This is not a new conspiracy, rather a standing one that goes back to 2024: Then, the conspiracy gained traction after India banned Jane Street from its stock market in 2025. Hopefully, you can start to connect the dots. These quantitative finance firms make their money in the high-frequency market, making the stock market, as a place for “investors,” unsafe, simply stated. India figured it out and booted Jane Street.
Yesterday, the big news dropped that Jane Street’s fingerprints were all over the 2022 bear market, and now we wonder how much crossover there was between Jane Street and FTX, even though it is clear that one led to the other, given the Terra collapse in mid-2022 and FTX going down later that year.
I won’t provide you a link to the WSJ or Bloomberg on the matter on principle. Instead, here is the Zerohedge article covering the breaking news in the spirit of them covering this story, even to the point of me thinking “please stop with this manipulation conspiracy stuff.” Alas, I should have paid more attention to them, just as I should have—but glossed over it—when they were writing about bitcoin in 2012. Now comes the fun part.
Bitcoin forces long-term thinking. Unchained is the leader in collaborative multisig custody and bitcoin-native financial services, securing over $12 billion in bitcoin for more than 12,000 clients — roughly 1 out of every 200 bitcoin sits in an Unchained vault. The model is simple:
This shared-custody framework blends institutional-grade security with the sovereignty of individual key ownership. From that foundation, Unchained offers services for long-term bitcoin strategies: trade directly from your vault, access dollar liquidity through bitcoin-collateralized commercial loans, open a bitcoin IRA while holding your keys, or create business and trust accounts for multi-generational planning. For elevated private-client service, Unchained Signature provides a dedicated account manager, discounted trading, exclusive events, and more. If you’re building a durable bitcoin position and want a custody partner designed for that responsibility, visit unchained.com and use code TBL10 for 10% off your new bitcoin multisig vault. Un-manipulation?Now that Jane Street is under extreme scrutiny regarding its crypto trading practices and activities, does this mean that Jane Street will stop engaging in its morning slams on bitcoin?...
