Jane Street posts $15B loss, first in a decade, due to AI fund woes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Jane Street, a major market maker, experienced its first monthly loss in approximately a decade, amounting to $15 billion in July. This downturn was primarily attributed to its investments in the AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness, which faced significant margin calls. The losses also impacted Jane Street's direct investments in AI ventures, including stakes in Anthropic PBC and CoreWeave Inc. Despite this setback, Jane Street has generated over $40 billion in trading revenue year-to-date and has taken steps to reduce risk exposure in affected strategies. AI
