“market makers will offer a wider spreads than the ones offered by an ECN, thereby more favorable to themselves”

In the first category, ECN provided more direct access to the interbank market, where institutional foreign trading takes place. They keep their spreads thinner to remain competitive; usually, they make their profits from the fixed commissions per trade that they charge their clients.
