London, 28 January 2021 –BEQUANT, the leading digital asset firm, announced today that it has signed a strategic partnership with the pioneering infrastructure and connectivity provider  BSO  to further bolster high speed trading capabilities across both the BEQUANT Exchange and BEQUANT PRO prime brokerage businesses.

BEQUANT and BSO  have been exploring a partnership since last year, and quickly realized similar goals for 2021, and made the decision to partner on a number of initiatives including additional strengthening BEQUANT's low latency offering through use of BSO’s backbone of more than 2400 co-located data centers across over  three dozen countries.

“BSO’s long standing expertise in financial markets  enables us to further improve on our industry best, institutional-grade digital asset trading offering,” said BEQUANT COO Sergiu Frasineanu. “We are eager to work together with them as we grow the business, and to explore additional strategic opportunities down the road.”

As digital and crypto asset markets continue to rapidly institutionalise, the need for a more robust, financial-grade infrastructure is becoming rapidly apparent. This partnership will enable both firms to collaborate to help meet those needs and create a global market infrastructure for the next generation of financial firms.

“This strategic partnership demonstrates our commitment to serving financial institutions engaged in digital asset trading,” said Michael Ourabah, CEO and founder of BSO. “We have witnessed an exponential growth and interest in cryptocurrencies and have responded with bespoke solutions for the sector. Using our low latency and deterministic network, we deliver our customers’ mission-critical data from traditional capital market data centres to the key crypto exchanges across the world. We are pleased that BSO customers can now access BEQUANT's exchange with the power of our global low latency network.” 

BSO  is a leading provider of network, cloud and hosting solutions with a heritage serving , banks, high frequency traders (HFTs) and algorithmic traders, exchanges, market data providers, and other markets participants as BEQUANT looks to further build out its industry-leading digital asset infrastructure.

“The decision to work with BSO was an easy one for us,” said Sunil Chauhan, director of marketing and partnerships at BEQUANT. “Their industry-leading low latency solution, and globally located data centers fit the bill for our institutional clients, and we couldn’t be happier to partner with them to start the new year.”
