Its technology enables clients to trade a broad spectrum of assets, including equities, ETFs, options, FX, futures, fixed income, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, while offering pre- and post-trade risk-management and compliance tools.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of approximately $2.5 billion, a net profit margin near 15 %, and an average daily trade volume exceeding $1.5 trillion, reflecting Virtu’s deep market penetration.
