Zürich, Switzerland; 20 May 2025 – RULEMATCH is happy to announce that it has partnered with Market Synergy, a leading provider of institutional-grade crypto connectivity services. Market Synergy’s institutional-grade low-latency colocation and proximity hosting with 24/7 support facilitate high-performance connectivity to the RULEMATCH trading venue, servicing the growing number of latency-sensitive firms that are deploying sophisticated strategies in the cryptocurrency space.
With substantial growth in the digital asset market over the last 18 months and the US Administration’s supportive digital asset stance, demand continues to grow for institutional-grade exchanges like RULEMATCH as trading firms look to leverage their capabilities from traditional finance in the crypto market using similar services and technical capabilities.
James Banister, CEO of Market Synergy said: “Judging from my experience in electronic trading for traditional finance, I believe that the low-latency capabilities of RULEMATCH will be attractive for active trading institutions that are expanding from FX and equity trading into cryptocurrencies.”

Their streamlined services and deep experience in connectivity and hosting will certainly be very helpful for our latency-conscious participants and their institutional clients.”
