"The Rise of Hudson River Trading",the publisher adds another leading proprietary trading firm - and recent entrant to the $1 billion+ trading revenue club (2020e) - to its library focused on the most secretive and consequential players in the global markets ecosystem.
Notable highlights include:

As if on cue, and apropos of the times, a tweet by Joe Gawronski, President of Rosenblatt Securities states that December 24, 2020 marked the first time ever that off-exchange trading represented the majority of US equity volume (50.38%).
Rewinding from there to a Reuters article dated January 16, 2018 entitled "Hudson River Trading to buy rival HFT firm Sun Trading", HRT's co-founder and director, Jason Carroll, said in a statement, "This acquisition combines HRT's expertise in on-exchange trading with Sun's expertise in off-exchange trading creating a stronger, more diverse firm."
