Jane Street

Jane Street is a quantitative proprietary trading firm and liquidity provider that focuses on technology and collaborative problem solving. The company trades global financial products, including exchange-traded funds, equities, futures, commodities, options, bonds, and currencies. It also offers institutional brokerage and analysis services. It is one of the largest market making firms in the U.S. and has dominated the ETF space. It is one of a small group of firms that can create new shares of ETFs, working with the companies that issue them. Jane Street has also expanded into credit trading.
The firm has offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.
== History ==
Jane Street was co-founded in the early 2000s by Tim Reynolds, Rob Granieri, Marc Gerstein, and Michael Jenkins. Gerstein is a former IBM developer; the rest were traders from Susquehanna. The firm initially traded mostly options and American Depositary Receipts on the old American Stock Exchange (Amex). 
In September 2020 the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank added Jane Street to the list of companies through which it would implement its corporate bond purchases, alongside JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Citi.
The firm is one of several prop trading firms that made huge gains during the market turmoil that went along with the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. It saw revenue grow 54% to $10.6 billion during the year ended in March 2021. The wild market created a big opportunity for firms trading hard-to-price bonds, including Jane Street, which is particularly active in bond ETFs. 
Jane Street sold a $1.4 billion high-yield bond deal in early 2024 to expand cash on its balance sheet, which allowed it to continue to invest in the business, according to sources cited by Bloomberg.
In December of 2024, Jane Street Group and Millennium Management agreed to settle a legal dispute over two former traders' alleged theft of a "secret billion-dollar India options trading strategy," Bloomberg reported. In a filing in Manhattan federal court, the two firms said they had agreed to dismiss the case. The resolution ended a case that had raised the question of whether a trading strategy could be protected as a trade secret.

Japan's "lost decade"

The "lost decade" refers to a period in the 1990s during which Japan suffered from the collapse of a housing bubble. The bubble came at the tail end of a period of huge economic growth, when Japan had been flooded with cheap and easy credit and real estate prices soared. But the bubble burst in the mid-1990s, and real estate lost almost two-third of its value. Although Japanese banks were in danger of going under, the central bank was slow to intervene. It finally cut interest rates in 1995, but the damage had already been done. The Japanese economy still has not fully recovered from that ten-year period of stagnation.

The Japan Securities Depository Center had already assumed responsibility for settlement services from the exchanges in 1991, and the entry into force of the Securities and Exchange Law in January 2003 paved the way for the transfer of clearing business to the newly established JSCC on January 14, 2003.
The JSCC is capitalized at JPY1.7bn, with ownership based on the market shares of equity trading at the time of its creation. The TSE is the dominant shareholder, with 86.3 percent. The balance is owned by the Osaka Securities Exchange (9.5 percent); Japan Securities Dealers Association (3.4 percent) and the Nagoya Stock Exchange (0.7 percent), with the Sapporo Securities Exchange and the Fukuoka Stock Exchange each owning 0.05 percent.

The Japanese Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) is a self-regulation entity for the Japanese cryptocurrency industry.
