Avelacom Expands Low-Latency Connectivity to Argentine Capital Markets

Subscribe to our newsletter

Avelacom, the global provider of low-latency network solutions, has expanded into Argentina to provide financial institutions with direct access to the country’s equities and derivatives markets. The company is launching a new Point of Presence (PoP) at the Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) data centre in Buenos Aires.

The expansion includes new low-latency routes across the east and west coasts of Latin America via Brazil and Chile. These routes are designed to provide resilient connectivity between Argentina, the US, and other global markets. This move follows Avelacom’s entry into the region in 2021 and responds to increased trading activity on the BYMA exchange, which saw a 45% year-on-year increase in trades and a 58% rise in orders during 2025.

By establishing this presence, Avelacom aims to support arbitrage and market-making strategies across Argentina, Brazil, and the US. The company plans to further interconnect markets in Chile, Colombia, and Peru over the coming year. This development addresses a growing demand for sophisticated trading infrastructure in Argentina, where the market remains underpenetrated compared to the broader Latin American average.
