.... high-frequency trading giant Jane Street, which has been accused of market manipulation by Indian authorities, has deposited $567 million in an escrow account so that it can resume trading in the country.
Even with the ban lifted (in future), the tussle with SEBI is expected to have a huge impact on its business in India, which is the world's biggest derivatives market.
According to a separate source with direct knowledge of the matter, Jane Street does not intend to trade in Indian options while the dispute is unresolved.
Options have been Jane Street's main line of business in India with its exposure to equity derivatives here roughly five to seven times its exposure to regular stocks, said the first source.
