That doesn't surprise me; doesn't Citadel keep the entire bid-ask spread for every transaction they facilitate? Presumably between that and arbitrage opportunities that pop up from option contracts alone, I have no doubt that market makers clean up pretty well.

They wouldn't hire me either!




Citadel has plenty of competition, eg from Jane Street. The markets for market making are some of the most efficient markets on the planet.
