The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has initiated a lengthy investigation into the trades of Jane Street, focusing on instances of index manipulation.
SEBI's interim order examined 18 major instances of Bank Nifty index manipulation and three instances involving the Nifty index on expiry days.
The investigation's complete duration is uncertain due to the vast amount of trade data to be analyzed, with expectations that it could extend until the end of the calendar year.
SEBI will issue a show-cause notice to Jane Street after analyzing the data, allowing the US hedge fund to present its perspective before a confirmatory order is given.
