Jane Street, Terra, and the “10AM Flush” Rumor: What’s Really Going On?


Listen Later

Welcome to the CryptoTwits Podcast. This episode is all about Jane Street — because there’s been “some crazy” stuff going down.

We start with the Wall Street Journal reporting tied to the Terraform Labs collapse (UST in 2022), the contagion that followed (Three Arrows, Voyager, Celsius, and eventually FTX), and why this isn’t just “crypto people suing crypto people.” The suit is tied to a court-appointed bankruptcy figure (Todd Snyder) going after Jane Street Group, including allegations around timing, backchannels, and a major UST liquidity event at Curve in May 2022.

From there we dig into the rumor mill that’s taken over X: the “10 a.m. flush” theory, claims about Jane Street deleting things, and the idea that an authorized participant in BlackRock’s IBIT could create/redeem shares to move exposure at scale. We also connect the dots to FTX and Jane Street overlaps (SBF’s time at Jane Street, the alleged $300M loss, and the broader network of former Jane Street people around FTX/Alameda).

Finally, we walk through the alleged strategy: depressing BTC via ETF activity, triggering liquidations, and positioning into leveraged proxies like MSTR — while stressing what’s rumor vs what’s verified.

Thanks for watching — and next week’s episode teases a “pretty big deal” interview in the real world asset space.
