Investing.com -- Citadel Securities, a high-speed trading firm, has seen a significant rise in profits in the first quarter of 2025, with a nearly 70 per cent increase to $1.7bn, according to a report by the Financial Times on Tuesday. This success is largely attributed to a surge in volatility across financial markets following the inauguration of Donald Trump.

In the first three months of 2025, the company reported net trading revenues of $3.4bn, marking a 45 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024, as per a document reviewed by the Financial Times. Both the revenues and profits achieved in this period set new records for the market maker.

This surge in trading activity is not unique to Citadel Securities. The firm, founded by billionaire Ken Griffin, is part of a larger trend seen across Wall Street. This trend began following a series of executive orders signed by Trump after his inauguration on January 20, 2025, which caused upheaval across financial markets.
