Avelacom, the global provider of ultra-low latency network and infrastructure solutions, is expanding its presence in Argentina, enabling banks and other financial institutions to connect directly to Argentina’s equities and derivatives markets for real-time market data and order execution.
As part of this expansion, Avelacom is launching a new PoP at BYMA’s data center in Buenos Aires and adding new low latency routes across Latin America’s west coast (via Chile) and east coast (via Brazil), providing fast and resilient access to the US and other global markets.
Avelacom has operated in Latin America since 2021, initially supporting global market making firms in expanding their trading activities on the Brazilian Exchange (B3). The new Buenos Aires PoP and expanded regional routes further strengthen Avelacom’s connectivity footprint and open access to Argentina’s rapidly developing capital markets.
Comments Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom: “Argentina is our natural next step in strengthening our presence in the region. Our clients are showing increasing interest in arbitrage and market making strategies involving Argentina, Brazil and the US. With our new PoP at BYMA and expanded regional routes, we are enabling the lowest latency to BYMA’s matching engine and supporting the growth of cross-market trading across the region. Our goal for the next year is to interconnect Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru, giving even more opportunities to expand their trading strategies using our ultra-low latency infrastructure.”
In recent years, trading volumes on the BYMA exchange have risen significantly, showing increased investor engagement and liquidity. In 2025, fresh daily records were hit in number of trades (+45% yoy) and number of orders (+58% yoy) on the exchange. At the same time, the S&P Merval Index (Argentina's flagship equity index) has seen strong nominal gains, up over 1300% in the last three years. The Argentine capital market is still significantly underpenetrated. In 2024, the market cap-to-GDP ratio was 14%, half of the Latin American average (28%).
Comments María José Del Boca, Chief Product & Client Officer at BYMA: “Avelacom’s arrival into our ecosystem supports a new wave of international clients interested in trading Argentina’s securities, as well as local participants seeking to enhance their strategies across Latin America. This partnership aligns with our long-term vision to position Argentina as a market equipped with sophisticated infrastructure, including low latency connectivity and co-location solutions.”
