Here's the article from Bitcoin Magazine:

A quartet of financial giants consisting of market makers Citadel Securities and Virtu Financial Inc. and retail brokers Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab Corp are developing a cryptocurrency trading platform, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Citadel Securities is a subsidiary of Citadel LP, which currently has hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin at the helm who, just last year, referred to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as “a jihadist call” against the U.S dollar.
