BSO x Kraken: Lightning-fast Tokyo/London connectivity for institutional traders

Starting November 2025, BSO is partnering with Kraken to deliver a purpose-built ultra-low-latency (ULL) connectivity route between Tokyo and London. Designed for institutional clients and market makers, this new route provides a dedicated private connection with round-trip latency under 140 ms.

Built for those who live and breathe milliseconds, this solution enables cross-venue arbitrage, hedging and liquidity strategies with unmatched precision, speed and reliability.

Why this matters?

Kraken clients can choose the connectivity that fits their operational model.

• Physical data center access – Connect directly from Japan’s top financial hubs: AT TOKYO CC1/CC2 and Equinix TY2, TY3 and any Equinix Data Centers via cross-connect or metro loop.

• Cloud on-ramp – Join seamlessly from AWS Tokyo or other public clouds through BSO’s cloud interconnect.

Whether you’re trading on-prem or in the cloud, BSO and Kraken make it simple to reach our London trading engine (TE) with deterministic speed.

Experience sub-140 ms round-trip latency between Tokyo and London – up to 80 ms faster than standard internet routes.

• Dedicated private fiber backbone ensures minimal hops and near-zero packet loss.

• Deterministic latency gives traders confidence in every execution even during peak volatility.

With 99.99% uptime, automatic rerouting and SLA-backed performance metrics, BSO’s protected managed service ensures round-the-clock reliability.

As your strategies scale, extended connectivity options make it easy to reach additional global regions on demand.

Kraken and BSO offer joint provisioning that streamlines configuration and testing. Simply connect through your existing data center or cloud presence and you’re ready to trade with confidence.
