Jane Street's trading revenue reached a staggering $39.6 billion last year, surpassing its peers and many investment banks.

According to informed sources, Wall Street's top market maker, Jane Street, achieved a record $39.6 billion in net trading revenue last year, surpassing its largest high-frequency trading competitors and numerous investment banks including JPMorgan Chase. This latest performance firmly places Jane Street ahead of its closest competitors like Citadel Securities and Hudson River Trading. Against the backdrop of market volatility last year leading to record profits for market makers, this revenue solidifies Jane Street's leading position in the industry. According to informed sources, Citadel Securities achieved trading revenue of approximately $12.2 billion in 2025, a 25% increase from 2024. Hudson River Trading had trading revenue of around $12.3 billion last year. With 3,500 employees, Jane Street provides liquidity to the market by trading a range of financial products including ETFs, stocks, bonds, options, commodities, and currencies on major exchanges and trading platforms globally. Last year, Jane Street saw a significant increase in the equity valuation of several privately held high-value startup companies including AI lab Anthropic, further boosting company profits. Its capital markets division invests in companies from seed stage to IPO stage throughout their entire life cycle. In addition, Jane Street also has an operations department similar to a hedge fund, holding various asset positions for periods ranging from weeks to months and providing longer-term liquidity. Jane Street has never taken in external capital. Its capital structure allows the company to take on larger positions when providing liquidity and hold these positions during periods where the risk is rewarded. The trading profits of major Wall Street banks have also seen substantial growth in recent quarters. Market volatility tends to benefit the trading divisions of large banks and algorithmic trading companies as investors adjust their portfolios to hedge risks. JPMorgan Chase achieved $35.8 billion in trading revenue last year. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Wells Fargo & Company, and Citigroup also reported significant growth in trading revenue in the first quarter.
