There is a viral assertion circulating in crypto markets that links Jane Street, the Terra Meltdown and AI firm, Anthropic. The storyline indicates a grander institutional plan of what has occurred in the market history. It is however a mix of both proven facts and speculation, and thus it is critical that investors be able to tell the difference between proven evidence and speculation.
🚨 THIS IS TRULY SHOCKING.

If you think the Jane Street story is limited to just Luna and "10AM manipulation," you are wrong.
What if Jane Street's intention to crash Luna and UST was something different?
In April 2021, FTX bought an 8% stake in Anthropic for $500 million.… pic.twitter.com/Amk4pcaIfp
Adherents of the theory point out that some companies wanted to make a profit not only due to the volatility of cryptocurrencies. Their attributed causes of the collapse of TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA are strategic equity positions in the AI sector. The argument points out how FTX bought approximately 8 percent of Anthropic in 2021 and subsequently sold the shares at a much higher price during its bankruptcy. This turn of events has made some observers speculate that some players have positioned themselves ahead of the game on a long-term basis and beyond crypto market interests.
