Colt unveils ULL DCA service which delivers ultra-low latency cloud-to-cloud connectivity for crypto trading firms.
Colt Technology Services announced the upcoming launch of Colt ULL DCA, a new connectivity solution designed for latency-sensitive digital asset trading environments.
Scheduled to go live in September 2025, the service merges Colt’s Ultra Low Latency (ULL) and Dedicated Cloud Access (DCA) technologies into a single offering that enables high-speed, region-to-region data movement across cloud platforms.
Purpose-built for crypto exchanges and trading firms, Colt ULL DCA eliminates common latency bottlenecks in cloud-native infrastructures, offering a cloud-to-cloud alternative that rivals traditional on-premise connectivity without requiring physical hardware or complex configurations.
Colt’s network backbone includes more than 275 cloud Points of Presence (PoPs) and connects to over 80 trading venues globally. The service also integrates with Colt’s PrizmNet, giving users seamless access to market data and liquidity sources through a single platform.
In proof-of-concept tests between AWS regions in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan, Colt ULL DCA showed latency improvements of up to 15% over standard AWS backbone routing, highlighting its edge for high-frequency trading applications.
“The cloud has become the new trading venue, especially for digital assets, but the network infrastructure hasn’t caught up,” said Wesley Edler, Product Director, Capital Markets at Colt Technology Services.
“Colt ULL DCA is a breakthrough that brings the performance of traditional market connectivity into the cloud era. It’s everything firms need to trade faster, with lower risk and greater reach.”
As crypto trading evolves toward cloud-native infrastructure, Colt’s new service is positioned to meet the growing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity in the digital asset markets.
