Kraken has partnered with Avelacom to give institutional clients faster access to its trading systems, aiming to appeal to firms using latency-sensitive strategies in digital asset markets. The deal connects Avelacom’s network directly to Kraken’s matching engine. The setup allows professional traders to receive market data and execute orders more quickly, enabling strategies such as cross-exchange arbitrage and liquidity aggregation. Low-latency connection for Kraken clients In an announcement on Monday, Kraken said clients using the integration can expect real-time price updates with minimal delay and improved execution consistency. The exchange called the upgrade part of its effort to meet the needs of institutions trading across multiple liquidity venues. Avelacom operates a global network linking major financial hubs, including London and Tokyo. Its fiber route between the two cities offers sub-138 millisecond round-trip latency, while hybrid routes combining fiber and wireless further reduce transmission time. Expanding institutional infrastructure The partnership strengthens Kraken’s institutional infrastructure as demand grows for faster and more robust trading systems in the crypto sector. Kraken offers access to the network through its institutional division for clients seeking enhanced trading performance. Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
