Susquehanna International Group started in May 1987. Jeff Yass and six poker playing friends founded it and named it after the Susquehanna River. The Black Monday crash hit soon after launch, and the firm grew fast. It is based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, with over 3,500 staff worldwide, and reported about 7.2 billion dollars in 2024 revenue.
SIG trades options with its own money as a market maker, not client money. It is not a retail forex or CFD broker. It has no sign up page, no minimum deposit, and no trading app for the public. SIG also holds an early stake in ByteDance, owner of TikTok, and gained a board seat in the 2026 TikTok spinoff deal.
Susquehanna Investment Group, its founding broker dealer, paid the SEC 7.64 million dollars in 2009 for trading ahead of clients. Exchanges fined its market making arm for breaking position limits in 2019 and 2020. In 2026, SIG sued 100 unknown traders after losing over 70 million dollars as an alleged insider trading counterparty.
