McKay Brothers has unveiled a new private transport network connecting London and Singapore with a round-trip latency of under 137 milliseconds, positioning it as the fastest available route for crypto and FX trading between the two financial hubs.
The network links Slough’s LD4 data centre—home to leading crypto platforms such as Deribit, LMAX, and Kraken—to Singapore’s AWS cloud infrastructure, which hosts platforms including Bybit. The service is designed for trading strategies where microseconds can influence risk management and execution.
McKay Brothers’ “Level Playing Field” policy ensures that all subscribers can access the same low-latency infrastructure, a move aimed at providing equal opportunity for digital asset firms regardless of size. The company highlighted that the London–Singapore route has been optimised for cloud-based trading environments while maintaining the reliability and resiliency standards applied across its traditional financial market networks.
The launch extends McKay’s portfolio of ultra-low latency routes across Asia, Europe, and the US, including connections between Tokyo, Hong Kong, Chicago, and Ashburn, Virginia. The firm will showcase its services at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore.
