Hudson River Trading just wrapped up another strong year. Their trading revenue climbed to near-record highs in 2025, riding the wave of market turbulence that swept across global markets. Here's the thing—when prices swing wildly and liquidity gets tight, firms that bridge buyers and sellers? They clean up. These market makers thrive on volatility. The choppier the markets, the more opportunities they have to execute trades and capture spreads. It's counterintuitive but true: the chaos that makes retail traders nervous is basically free money for professionals who know how to play the game.

My goodness, it's that same excuse again—when the market is chaotic, some people are making a killing? I've seen through it long ago. When retail investors panic and try to buy the dip, these institutions have already finished off the market.

Haha, it's the story where the more chaotic the market gets, the more the manipulators profit. We all know this trick, right?
