Jane Street Seeks SEBI Trading Data to Contest Market Manipulation Allegations
US-based hedge fund Jane Street has requested the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) to direct SEBI to share trading data underlying allegations of market manipulation involving Bank Nifty index trades. Jane Street argues that prior NSE and SEBI reviews found no evidence of price influence benefiting its options positions and that in over 90% of examined trading windows, the index moved contrary to the alleged manipulation strategy. The firm seeks access to detailed trading records to challenge SEBI's July 2025 interim order accusing it of manipulating index prices.
