BSE Shares Rise 3% as SEBI Approves Jane Street to Resume Trading.

Published on July 21, 2025 | Rabbit Research Team  

Indian capital markets saw a significant increase today. BSE shares climbed over 3% during the day after reports that US-based high-frequency trading firm Jane Street got approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to start trading again.  

🔍 What’s Driving the Rally?  

According to a Reuters report, SEBI has removed trading restrictions on Jane Street after the firm deposited ₹4,844 crore. Two sources familiar with the situation confirmed that the regulator sent its decision via email on July 18, stating that the temporary restrictions no longer apply after the deposit.  

This news raised optimism across the capital markets. At 11:15 AM on July 21, BSE shares were up 3% at ₹2,526 each. Other brokerage and financial services stocks also reported gains:  

- Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (MOFSL): +2%  

- Angel One: +1.42%  

- CDSL: +1.31%  

The increase shows that investors believe the return of a major global liquidity provider could improve market depth and efficiency.  

🌐 Why Jane Street Matters  

Jane Street is one of the largest high-frequency trading firms in the world. It is known for its complex algorithmic strategies and deep liquidity support. Its involvement in Indian markets encourages more participation and better pricing—especially in areas like ETFs, derivatives, and arbitrage opportunities.  

The specific reasons for the initial trading restrictions have not been officially revealed. However, the firm’s large deposit and quick regulatory response suggest that both SEBI and Jane Street are eager to move forward positively.  

📈 Market Sentiment and Outlook  

Capital market stocks often reflect broader trends in investor participation. A 3% increase in BSE shares indicates confidence in the exchange and India’s regulatory and financial market system.  

This event may also signal a broader trend of international companies increasing their investment in India, especially as the country continues to attract foreign capital and strengthen its position as a key emerging market.
