A major Wall Street trading powerhouse just reported some impressive numbers. Their trading desk pulled in 9% more revenue during Q3 compared to the same period last year. This uptick comes amid heightened market volatility and increased institutional activity across multiple asset classes.
The firm's performance reflects broader trends in the trading ecosystem—more sophisticated algorithms, tighter spreads, and expanded market-making operations. While many traditional finance giants are exploring digital assets, this revenue bump primarily came from equities, fixed income, and derivatives trading.
What's particularly interesting? This growth happened despite regulatory pressures and increased competition from both legacy players and crypto-native market makers pushing into TradFi territory.

9% increase? Sounds nice, but it's just benefiting from volatility.

9% rise? To put it bluntly, it means TradFi is still struggling to survive.
The Algorithm has indeed heated up, but market makers on the crypto side are pushing in, is traditional finance in a panic?
To still rise under regulatory pressure, this wave really has something going on.
The real big change is yet to come, I feel.

TradFi's old ways still work well, a 9% rise sounds good but isn't really surprising.
These old foxes on Wall Street really know how to pick their moments; they make even more when there's a lot of fluctuation.
They talk about being impacted by crypto, but in the end, they still feast on algorithms and spreads.

9% rise? That's not bad in this environment, but the real money should have been eaten by algo long ago.

9% rise? What does that mean in this market? My TradFi frens are all complaining that the algorithm is killing them.

A 9% rise isn’t much, it’s just the Bots eating the spread.
---
Wait, crypto market makers have entered TradFi? This is going to be interesting.
---
Even under regulatory pressure, the rise means suckers still need to be played for suckers.
---
Those TradFi folks are finally feeling what it’s like to get rolled, haha.
---
Algorithms are getting more intense, retail investors really have no way out.
---
It’s absurd, the higher the volatility, the more they earn.
---
That’s why you have to hold yourself, don’t expect anything from those people on Wall Street.

The TradFi system is making money again, it's just a game of Algorithm and Liquidity.
---
9% rise looks pretty high, but are you really willing to go all in...
---
Huh? Crypto natives are starting to get into TradFi, quite interesting.
---
Still able to grow under regulatory pressure, which shows that money is still easy to make.
---
The derivatives trading part is probably another story of leverage explosion, I'm used to it.
---
These old foxes on Wall Street will never really lose, they just change tricks to continue playing people for suckers.
---
What does tighter spread mean? It means retail investors have even fewer options.

ngl this 9% rise is quite good in this environment, but it mainly relies on traditional assets... it's really interesting that people from crypto are coming in to grab business.
