As part of the agreement, Citi will also become a liquidity provider in a number of new Tradeweb markets, including interest rate swaps. Citi is already an active participant in 12 of Tradeweb's online markets.

Tradeweb said in October it planned to sell a minority stake in the business for $180 million to nine securities dealers, including Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs & Co. and JPMorgan. Citi makes the 10th dealer investor.

Thomson shares rose 18 cents to $35.97 in morning trading.
