In a push to serve major financial firms, crypto exchange Kraken has partnered with network provider Avelacom to cut connection times for institutional traders.
The deal links Avelacom’s global infrastructure directly to Kraken’s trading engine. The move targets clients using speed-sensitive strategies—like arbitrage between exchanges—who will now get faster data and order execution.
Kraken called the upgrade key to its growing focus on professional traders. It follows the exchange’s recent partnership with Deutsche Börse Group, which blends crypto, stocks, and derivatives into a single access point for institutions.

Avelacom’s network connects major hubs like London and Tokyo with extremely low latency, often using hybrid fiber-wireless routes to shave milliseconds off transmission times.
Kraken’s institutional division will provide access to the enhanced setup as the exchange continues expanding its services for professional investors.
