Kanav Kariya, the head of Jump Trading’s crypto unit, said he is leaving the company, a departure that follows a difficult two years that saw both Kariya and Jump at the center of one of crypto’s largest collapses.

“Today marks the end of an incredible personal journey for me. It’s my last day at Jump,” Kariya said in a post on X, without elaborating on his reasons for leaving the firm. “As for what’s next, I plan to stay engaged with the portfolio companies I’ve been most involved with and hopefully take some time to process the unbelievably eventful few years we’ve had.”
