Zerodha's Nithin Kamath praised SEBI's ban on Jane Street, warning of grim implications for the futures and options trading sector if allegations are true.
Kamath highlighted the potential negative impact of the crackdown on prop trading firms, stating a possible hit on retail activity and emphasizing the reliance on these giants for F&O volumes.
He pointed out structural differences between US and Indian markets, suggesting US regulatory leniency may have facilitated such behavior, not permitted in India.
SEBI alleged Jane Street manipulated the Bank Nifty index, earning over Rs 43,000 crore, leading to a ban on market access and impounding of unlawful gains, which Jane Street disputes.
