About DRW

DRW is a team of innovative and ambitious individuals who use the power of free markets to solve challenging problems, capture opportunities, ​​​​​​​and pursue positive change. We are active on exchanges on five continents, trading a wide variety of products and asset classes. In each of these, we are a significant source of liquidity, and we take very seriously our role in ensuring vibrant two-way markets that are efficient, fair and transparent.

We work at the intersection of trading and technology.

Over 30 years later, the combination of these three areas has made DRW one of the leaders in global markets and has created significant runway for the growth of our firm. We still trade for our own account and the absence of outside investors enables us to be innovative and nimble in capturing opportunities.
