Virtu Financial has disclosed preliminary second-quarter results showing anticipated net income of $285 million and adjusted EBITDA of $437 million for the period ending June 30. The global market maker and brokerage technology provider expects trading income of $857 million, with adjusted net trading income reaching $718 million or approximately $11.6 million per trading day. Projected earnings per share stand at $1.63 basic and diluted, with normalised adjusted EPS at $1.82. These unaudited figures precede the formal earnings release scheduled for July 30.
Concurrently, Virtu has commenced marketing efforts for a $400 million incremental first-lien term loan, which would expand its senior secured credit facility to a total of $1.93 billion. The company has not specified how the financing proceeds will be deployed. The strong preliminary results follow an impressive first quarter where Virtu nearly doubled year-on-year net income amid heightened market volatility.
The performance demonstrates how elevated trading activity continues benefiting market makers and technology providers serving the brokerage sector. Earlier this year, Virtu secured a MiCA licence through its Irish entity, enabling regulated digital asset operations throughout the European Union.
For brokers and fintech firms, Virtu’s results underscore the revenue potential during volatile market conditions and the strategic value of diversified technology infrastructure supporting both traditional and digital asset trading venues.

Virtu’s simultaneous capital raising and strong earnings signal confidence in sustained volatility-driven opportunities, suggesting brokers should evaluate whether their technology stack can adequately capitalise on similar market conditions.
