Digital assets platform Kraken has recently announced a new deal that further builds out their offering for institutions engaging in latency-sensitive trading strategies. Avelacom, a provider of ultra-low-latency network solutions, is now providing high-performance connectivity to their matching engine. This integration gives trading firms the ability “to tap into optimized routes for both real-time market data and ultra-fast order execution, enabling strategies that depend on microsecond-level precision.”
Starting now, institutional clients can “connect to their markets via Avelacom’s purpose-built low-latency network.”
This upgrade allows market participants to:
- Receive real-time price updates with minimal delay
- Submit and execute orders at industry-leading speeds
- Support advanced latency-sensitive strategies, including multi-venue liquidity aggregation and cross-exchange arbitrage
- Improve execution quality through more consistent and reliable connectivity
These capabilities are valuable for firms “operating across multiple regions and liquidity venues where microseconds can impact performance.”
Avelacom’s network spans financial hubs around the world, “delivering performance for institutional traders.”
Their London–Tokyo route “achieves sub-138ms round-trip latency over fiber.”
Hybrid routes — mixing fiber and wireless connectivity — “can reduce latency even further for access to major Tokyo-based exchanges.”
The network is designed for consistency, “supporting the demanding workloads associated with complex, cross-regional trading strategies”
With 99.9% uptime and dedicated 24/7 support, Avelacom provides the type of operational resilience institutions “expect in traditional markets — and increasingly required in digital asset markets.”
This partnership enhances their exiting suite of “institutional-grade” solutions, reinforcing their commitment to “providing clients with world-class access, performance, and global market connectivity.”
As the digital asset / web3 market continues to evolve and mature in the coming years, institutions are said to be “demanding the same level of technological sophistication found in traditional finance.”
Kraken added that it is eager to partner with providers like Avelacom to support that evolution.
Firms looking to enhance connectivity options — such as access through Avelacom’s network — can work with Kraken to improve product their offering and functionality.
