They’re buying this domain solely to use it for their wormhole network, which bridges blockchains together. So, in this context, they most definitely are “crypto people”.

I know it’s for a crypto related project, I read the article, but I’d argue that the average finance person adding another asset class that they trade is substantially different from the archetype that most would describe as “crypto people”.

They are absolutely "crypto people." They have had nigh the most crypto engineering power of any firm in the entire world for like 5-6 years now. They have literally hundreds of extremely smart people who have been in crypto since the beginning.

Ah ok, thanks for the context! The people I know in hedge funds are far away from being what most would think of as crypto people, but perhaps Jump is a bit of an exception.

Most crypto people are traditional finance people at this point, this is lost in a lot of conversation about crypto.

They seem to have since then moved to operating in crypto (tfa says they want the domain for their crypto business).
