Citadel Securities’ first-half net trading revenue slid 35% from last year’s volatility-fueled surge as the trading firm founded by Ken Griffin seeks to compete with the big banks.

The market maker generated $2.73 billion in revenue in the first six months of this year after a record $4.2 billion haul in the first half of 2022, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The figure has exceeded $1 billion for 14 straight quarters, the people said, asking not to be identified disclosing private information.
