McKay Brothers Launches Lowest Latency Tokyo-London-Dublin Crypto Connectivity

Subscribe to our newsletter

McKay Brothers International has introduced the fastest connectivity between major crypto trading hubs in Tokyo, London, and Dublin, achieving sub-132ms round-trip latency. The new service links traders hosted in AWS Tokyo with those operating at Equinix LD4 in London and AWS Dublin, enhancing execution speeds for crypto markets.

This launch marks McKay’s first ultra-low latency infrastructure developed specifically for cryptocurrency trading, diverging from its previous reliance on traditional finance networks. The Tokyo-London-Dublin route complements the company’s existing ultra-low latency connections between Tokyo and other key trading centres, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Chicago, and Ashburn.

“Crypto trading increasingly demands low latency,” said Francois Tyc, MBI’s Managing Director. “We are pleased to leverage our many years of leadership in ultra-low latency connectivity for traditional finance to serve the fast growing low latency crypto market.”
