Ultra-low-latency cross-Region crypto trading with Avelacom and AWS

This article demonstrates how AWS Direct Connect combined with Avelacom's ultra-low-latency network reduces cross-Region crypto trading latency by up to 49% compared to standard VPC peering.

• Avelacom's proprietary fiber network optimizes physical routes between AWS Regions for latency-sensitive trading
• Tokyo-EU routes show largest gains: Frankfurt 39.1%, London 33.5%, Stockholm 49.3% improvement
• TCP benchmarks measured P50 and P99 latencies across five routes with sub-90µs jitter
• No packet loss observed on either path; P99 latencies track closely with P50 for predictable performance
• Best suited for cross-exchange arbitrage, market making, and multi-Region strategies where milliseconds impact profitability
• Requires AWS Direct Connect port fees plus Avelacom route-specific bandwidth pricing

For crypto trading firms where cross-Region latency directly impacts execution speed and profitability, this dedicated infrastructure approach delivers measurable performance gains over standard AWS connectivity options.
