Avelacom Expands Connectivity to AWS São Paulo, Enhancing Crypto Trading for Brazil’s B3 Exchange
April 8, 2025 – São Paulo, Brazil
In a significant development for cryptocurrency trading, Avelacom, a global connectivity infrastructure provider, has announced the addition of AWS (Amazon Web Services) connectivity in São Paulo. This strategic enhancement aims to bolster the capabilities of the B3 Exchange, Brazil’s largest financial market, as it expands into the realm of crypto derivatives trading.
Simplifying Access for Crypto Firms
The new AWS São Paulo setup allows crypto trading firms that use AWS to host their systems to achieve faster connections to both testing and production environments at B3. This improvement is particularly timely as interest in crypto derivatives surges, creating a demand for rapid and reliable connectivity solutions.
With the integration of AWS São Paulo, Avelacom now provides Direct Connect access to a comprehensive range of AWS cloud regions across Asia Pacific, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. This positions Avelacom as a single-source provider for ultra-low latency access to AWS-hosted trading venues worldwide.
Rapid Market Response and Efficient Routing
The growth of B3’s crypto derivatives offering has prompted increased demand from crypto trading firms for expedited connectivity between AWS São Paulo and other major AWS regions, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Dublin, London, and Frankfurt. These locations are critical as they host the matching engines of leading crypto exchanges.
Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, stated, “São Paulo is becoming an important location on the global crypto trading map. By adding AWS Direct Connect here, we’re helping bridge the gap between traditional exchanges like B3 and the crypto-native world — both of which depend on low-latency connectivity and maximum uptime. This expansion further strengthens our AWS inter-regional portfolio, offering clients a truly institutional-grade solution for multi-cloud, global trading. It also highlights our ultra-low-latency São Paulo <> Tokyo route, which cuts round-trip time by more than 25 milliseconds compared to standard network options that are not optimized for latency.”
Technical Details and Availability
The AWS Direct Connect point established by Avelacom has been deployed at the Equinix SP4 data center, which is linked to AWS’s South American region. Avelacom’s proprietary network is specifically designed to support institutional traders who rely on latency-sensitive strategies.
Key features of this new connectivity solution include:
- Direct Connect to AWS São Paulo for seamless integration with B3.
- A global portfolio of AWS cloud interconnections.
- Ultra-low latency with a commitment to 99.9% uptime.
- A one-week trial option available for all route selections.
