Citadel Securities Expands European Operations with New Amsterdam Office
Global market maker Citadel Securities has launched a new office in Amsterdam, establishing it as a European hub for its equity options business and enhancing client service.
Citadel Securities, a technology-driven, next-generation global market maker, announced the opening of a new office in Amsterdam. This expansion signifies the firm's continued investment in European capital markets and aims to better serve institutional clients across the continent.
The Amsterdam office will house integrated trading, technology, and quantitative research teams. These teams will support the growth of the firm's equity options business and contribute to increased liquidity in European exchange-traded derivatives markets. The city was chosen for its prominence as a key derivatives hub and its pool of technical and trading talent.

"We intend to continue investing in the people, technology, and infrastructure that enhance market resilience, improve liquidity, and support the continued growth of the European capital markets ecosystem."
