Avelacom has improved network latencies between European markets and key East Asian cities including Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

As a result, the latency on its London to Shanghai route is now under 125 milliseconds for a round-trip, compared to the previous industry standard of approximately 133 milliseconds.

These speeds were achieved by the company upgrading its technology and witnessing an increase in FX and cryptocurrency electronic trading volumes and greater participation from institutional traders.
