Kraken partners with Avelacom to deliver ultra-low-latency connectivity for institutional traders

We’re proud to announce a new deal that further builds out our offering for institutions engaging in latency-sensitive trading strategies.

Avelacom, a global provider of ultra-low-latency network solutions, is now providing high-performance connectivity to our 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.

Faster access to our markets

Starting today, institutional clients can connect to our 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 especially valuable for firms operating across multiple regions and liquidity venues where microseconds can impact performance.

Global routes engineered for speed

Avelacom’s network spans major financial hubs around the world, delivering best-in-class 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.

Strengthening institutional market infrastructure

This partnership enhances our growing suite of institutional-grade solutions, reinforcing our commitment to providing clients with world-class access, performance, and global market connectivity.

Looking ahead

As the digital asset market continues to mature, institutions are demanding the same level of technological sophistication found in traditional finance. Kraken is proud to partner with providers like Avelacom to support that evolution.

Firms interested in exploring connectivity options — including access through Avelacom’s network — can reach out to their Kraken representative or contact us through Kraken Institutional.
