It's only unusual if you make the mistake by thinking about it in terms of US $320 million hard fiat currency.

That's probably NOT what's going to happen.

It's most likely going to be 320 million USDT (Tether) or an equivalent amount of ETH (which was most probably purchased with Tether).

Even if you can get cheap USDT, that's is still real money that can be exchanged.

Are you implying this startup can somehow get free Tether? Are they affiliated at all?

Ah I wasn't aware of that. So Jump Trading has a relationship with Tether..?
