Ethereum Foundation stakes over 22,500 ETH in largest single deployment

Hyperliquid traders located in Tokyo have a speed advantage over their 
counterparts in Europe and the U.S, new data shows. A Timely Matter For 
Hyperliquid Traders Even the fastest growing derivatives DEX in the world 
needs its servers to be geographically located somewhere: in Hyperliquid’s 
case, it’s Amazon’s data centers in Tokyo. Latency probes and validator data 
from Glassnode show Hyperliquid’s 24 validators are clustered in AWS Tokyo. 
Spread across several availability zones inside Amazon Web Services’ 
ap‑northeast‑1 (Tokyo) region, the system’s API traffic is fronted by AWS 
CloudFront, but the validators themselves are all concentrated in a single 
Japanese cloud region. Glassnode data showing Hyperliquid&#8217;s API location in 
Tokyo. Source: Glassnode. Therefore, it’s not hard to understand why 
Tokyo‑based traders have a roughly 200 milliseconds advantage versus Europe 
and North America when hitting the matching engine. The raw network latency 
from Tokyo is only of 2–3 milliseconds. For an exchange processing more than 
$4 billion in daily perpetuals volume, that time gap compounds into real 
execution and P&amp;L differences. Related Reading: Ethereum Could Hit $40,000 And 
Beat Bitcoin, Standard Chartered Says Median order‑to‑fill times are around 
884 milliseconds from Tokyo versus roughly 1,079 milliseconds from Ashburn, 
Virginia. Most of the delay is server‑side processing, but in a time‑priority 
order book (the first orders to arrive get filled first at the best prices), 
geography still decides who gets to the front of the queue, tighter spreads, 
and better fill probability. Hyperliquid&#8217;s latency in Ashburn, Virginia. 
Source: Glassnode. The traders closest to the servers can grab the best bids 
and asks before farther located traders can even reach the exchange. Over many 
trades, that tiny time edge can turn into better average prices and more 
profit for the fast traders, and worse prices for everyone else. The Tokyo 
Dilemma It is worth noting that Hyperliquid is not the only exchange 
concentrating its fundamental infrastructure in AWS Tokyo: this is also the 
case for major CEX’s such as Binance and KuCoin. BitMEX migrated its data 
infrastructure from AWS Dublin to Tokyo in August 2025. As a result, the 
exchange saw liquidity (depth, tighter spreads, order‑book size) jump by 
roughly 180–400 percent only one month after the move. AWS Tokyo is a 
long‑running, well‑invested region with multiple availability zones, high 
bandwidth and lots of enterprise support, so exchanges locating its servers on 
it benefit of scaling quickly without running their own data centers. A huge 
share of crypto volume now runs through Asia trading hours, and putting 
matching engines in Tokyo means many of their most active users get very low 
latency. This strategy, however, concentrates technical risk. When AWS Tokyo 
hiccups, as it has happened in the past, multiple “independent” exchanges feel 
it at once. Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 
2022, But There Was A Silver Lining For traders, a cross‑venue arbitrage 
strategy seems to be a sensible decision. With Hyperliquid’s engine sitting in 
AWS Tokyo while many centralized exchanges also anchor core infra in the same 
region, spreads between Hyperliquid and major CEXs can open and close faster 
during Asia trading hours, rewarding desks that monitor and hedge across both 
stacks in real time. HYPE, Hyperliquid&#8217;s native token, trades for $38. Source:
