Waypoint Trading Solutions Expands European Footprint with Launch in Equinix MD6 Data Centre

Subscribe to our newsletter

Waypoint Trading Solutions, a TNS business, is expanding its European exchange connectivity services by launching managed hosting and ultra-low latency Layer 1 connectivity at the Equinix MD6 data centre in Madrid. This expansion prepares for Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) migrating its matching engines from Las Rozas to MD6 in the second quarter of 2027. The move places trading firms closer to the core Spanish trading platform, reducing network latency.

The new deployment enables market data vendors and exchange members to access Spanish equities and derivatives markets for market data and order entry. Waypoint will also offer Layer 3 services within the facility. This project builds on the company’s existing European colocation services, which include access to major exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange, Euronext, Deutsche Boerse, and SIX Swiss Exchange.

By establishing a presence in MD6, Waypoint provides clients with direct access to a financial hub featuring over 85,000 equities, fixed income, and derivative instruments. As a registered data vendor and application service provider, the firm offers a managed alternative to in-house infrastructure, allowing trading firms to optimize internal resources.
