Los Angeles, United States, August 14th, 2026, FinanceWire

New global network backbone will provide high-performance connectivity between five of the world’s key financial markets; Gramercy Networks is now accepting pre-orders from financial institutions and trading firms seeking access to the network.

Gramercy Networks LLC, a global developer of enterprise-grade telecommunications and ultra-low-latency network solutions, today announced plans to develop a new Global Inter-Market Ultra-Low Latency (ULL) Network Backbone connecting major financial markets in New York, London, Dubai, Delhi and Singapore.

The new network is being engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of high-frequency trading firms, quantitative hedge funds, market makers, investment banks and other financial institutions whose businesses depend on fast, reliable and deterministic communications between global financial markets.

Gramercy Networks is also announcing the opening of its pre-order program, enabling prospective customers to reserve capacity and participate in the network’s initial deployment. Early customers will have the opportunity to work with Gramercy Networks to identify priority financial-market destinations, capacity requirements, interfaces and connectivity configurations as the network is developed.

“This project represents the next evolution of Gramercy Networks’ global ultra-low-latency strategy,” said Garret Byrd, Managing Director. “Financial markets are increasingly interconnected, yet firms operating between North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia continue to face significant differences in network performance, route efficiency and reliability. Our objective is to engineer these routes as a unified global network specifically optimized for the requirements of the financial community.”

Connecting Five Strategic Financial Markets

The planned backbone will create a high-performance inter-market network connecting five strategically important financial centers:

New York — Providing connectivity to the greater New York/New Jersey financial ecosystem and key financial data centers serving U.S. equities, fixed income, futures and other markets.

London — Connecting one of the world’s most important centers for foreign exchange, European equities, commodities and international financial services.

Dubai — Establishing a strategic Middle Eastern hub connecting European, Asian and regional financial markets and providing a critical transit point between Western and Asian liquidity centers.

Delhi — Providing connectivity into India’s rapidly expanding financial and digital infrastructure ecosystem and supporting institutional connectivity between India and international financial centers.

Singapore — Connecting a principal Asia-Pacific financial center supporting equities, derivatives, foreign exchange and regional trading activity.

Rather than treating these markets as individual point-to-point connections, Gramercy Networks plans to engineer them as components of an integrated multi-hub global financial network, allowing customers to connect multiple financial centers through a common high-performance infrastructure.

Engineered for Ultra-Low Latency

The network will combine optimized submarine cable systems, terrestrial fiber infrastructure and specialized Content Delivery Network (CDN) technologies to reduce unnecessary physical distance and network-processing delays.

Gramercy Networks will evaluate routes according to their actual physical characteristics rather than relying exclusively on conventional carrier routing. Engineering considerations include fiber distance, cable landing locations, terrestrial rights-of-way, optical regeneration requirements, equipment latency, network hops and the physical paths between major financial data centers.

Where technically and commercially appropriate, the architecture may incorporate dedicated fiber, optical spectrum, high-capacity wavelength services and specialized wireless technologies to further optimize individual network segments.

The objective is straightforward: move financial data between markets over the shortest, fastest and most predictable practical path, and place customer data as close to the customer premises as feasible.

A New Financial Corridor Between West and East

A central objective of the project is to create more efficient connectivity between established Western financial centers and rapidly expanding markets in the Middle East and Asia.

The London–Dubai–Delhi–Singapore corridor will be a particular area of network optimization.

Gramercy Networks believes that continued expansion of financial markets in India, the Gulf region and Southeast Asia is increasing demand for institutional-grade connectivity between these markets and established liquidity centers in London and New York.

The resulting network is intended to support applications including cross-market execution, global market-data distribution, foreign exchange trading, quantitative strategies, risk management, portfolio synchronization and other latency-sensitive financial applications.

Designed for the Global Trading Community

The network is being developed primarily for organizations with demanding international connectivity requirements, including:

• High-frequency and proprietary trading firms
• Quantitative hedge funds
• Global market makers and liquidity providers
• Investment banks and financial institutions
• Global asset managers
• Foreign exchange and commodities trading firms
• Digital-asset market makers and institutional trading platforms
• Market-data and financial technology providers

Customers will be able to engage Gramercy Networks for individual inter-market connections or broader multi-market network configurations connecting several financial centers.

Pre-Orders Now Being Accepted

Gramercy Networks is now accepting pre-orders and expressions of interest for capacity on the new network.

The pre-order program is intended for organizations that anticipate requiring ultra-low-latency connectivity between two or more of the planned markets and want to participate during the network’s development and initial deployment phases.

Early customer engagement will help Gramercy Networks prioritize capacity, data-center connectivity, market destinations and route requirements. Customers with significant capacity or specialized network requirements may also work directly with Gramercy Networks on customized configurations.

Organizations interested in reserving capacity or discussing connectivity requirements are encouraged to contact Gramercy Networks.

Trading platform marks major client milestone with cash referral rewards, premium technology prizes and vacation experiences.

ARKBRIDGE has reached 50,000 clients, marking a significant milestone in the trading platform’s continued expansion and the next stage of its broader growth strategy.

To celebrate the achievement, ARKBRIDGE is launching a new Referral Rewards Program for eligible clients in permitted jurisdictions, allowing clients to invite friends to the platform and receive both cash rewards and milestone prizes.

The program follows a simple structure: clients share their personal ARKBRIDGE referral link, their friend joins the platform and completes an eligible first deposit, and the referring client becomes eligible for a cash reward and additional milestone benefits.

Under the program, eligible clients can receive 5% of a referred friend’s qualifying first deposit, up to $5,000 in cash, subject to the applicable program terms.

As referral milestones are reached, clients can also unlock premium rewards including:

• Android tablet or Apple iPad
• Flagship smartphone or ultrabook
• Weekend vacation for two

The referral dashboard is integrated directly into the ARKBRIDGE client area, allowing users to access their unique referral link, monitor successful referrals and follow their progress toward the next reward.

From a Limited Client Base to 50,000 Clients

ARKBRIDGE has been operating since 2020, initially serving a more limited client base before expanding broader access to new traders and investors in 2026.

The company’s growth to 50,000 clients therefore represents more than a recent platform launch. It reflects several years of platform development, client operations and trading infrastructure, followed by a broader expansion of the ARKBRIDGE offering.

The new referral program is designed to build on that growth by rewarding existing clients who introduce the platform to people within their own networks.

“Reaching 50,000 clients is an important milestone for ARKBRIDGE and for the team that has been building the platform since 2020,” said Richard Ashford, CIO of ARKBRIDGE. “Our next phase is about continuing to grow while maintaining the areas that matter most to clients: secure account access, clear handling of client-related funds and reliable access to deposits and withdrawals.”

Growth Built Around Client-Funds Handling and Account Security

As ARKBRIDGE expands, client-funds handling and account protection remain central components of its operating framework.

Client-related funds are recorded against individual trading-account balances and maintained separately from funds allocated to ordinary company operating expenses.

ARKBRIDGE also performs daily internal reconciliations covering client deposits, withdrawals, individual account balances, completed and pending transactions, payment-provider information, refunds and account adjustments.

Material discrepancies identified during reconciliation are assigned for investigation and corrective action by the relevant finance, payments or compliance personnel.

Account access is supported by additional security controls including:

• Two-factor authentication
• Device and session monitoring
• Verification of sensitive account changes
• Withdrawal authentication
• Identity-verification procedures
• Security notifications
• Controls for unusual account activity

Two-factor authentication can provide an additional verification step when clients access their accounts, use a new device, change sensitive information or request a withdrawal.

ARKBRIDGE has also published a dedicated Client Funds Handling and Account Security Statement, giving clients detailed information about these procedures and the operational controls applied to their accounts.

Secure Deposits and Reliable Access to Withdrawals

Access to funds is another major focus of the ARKBRIDGE client experience.

Clients can fund their accounts through supported:

• Bank transfers
• Payment cards
• Digital-asset payment channels

Withdrawal requests can be submitted directly through the ARKBRIDGE client area, through the supported trading application or with assistance from customer support.

Before funds are released, ARKBRIDGE may verify the client’s identity, ownership of the trading account and ownership of the receiving bank account, card or digital wallet.

Additional verification can be applied when a new withdrawal destination is added, payment information changes, an unfamiliar device is used or unusual account activity is detected.

These controls are designed to combine efficient access to client funds with protection against unauthorised withdrawals and payment fraud.

Verified bank withdrawals can be processed on the same or following business day and normally reach the receiving account within one to three working days. International transfers and certain card withdrawals may require up to five working days, while individual banking networks can occasionally require additional processing time.

Standard bank and card withdrawals generally do not carry an ARKBRIDGE withdrawal fee, although third-party banks, intermediaries or payment providers may apply their own charges.

A Referral Program Built Into the Client Experience

The new referral program has been integrated directly into the ARKBRIDGE private client area.

Participating clients receive their own unique invitation link, which can be shared directly with friends through messaging, email or social channels.

The process works in three stages:

1. Share a personal invitation link

Every participating client receives a unique referral link through the ARKBRIDGE dashboard.

2. Friend joins and completes an eligible deposit

Once the referred client successfully creates an account, completes the required verification and makes a qualifying first deposit, the referral becomes eligible under the program terms.

3. Earn cash and unlock milestone rewards

Eligible referring clients can receive 5% of the qualifying first deposit, up to $5,000 in cash, while successful referrals also contribute toward additional milestone rewards.

Those rewards include an iPad or Android tablet, a flagship smartphone or ultrabook, and ultimately a weekend vacation for two.

Clients can monitor their referral count and progress directly from their personal ARKBRIDGE dashboard.

More Than a Growth Campaign

The referral launch comes as ARKBRIDGE continues to expand its trading ecosystem across account security, payments, trading technology and risk-management functionality.

The platform combines web and mobile trading technology with account-balance monitoring, stop-loss and take-profit functionality, margin controls, analytical tools and human client support.

For ARKBRIDGE, the 50,000-client milestone represents both growth and a larger responsibility to maintain the operational standards that clients rely on.

“Growth only matters if clients continue to trust the infrastructure behind the platform,” Ashford added. “Whether someone is making their first deposit, managing their account or requesting a withdrawal, the experience needs to be clear, secure and dependable.”

Looking Ahead

ARKBRIDGE plans to continue expanding its client services and platform functionality as it enters its next stage of growth.

The company’s priorities include continued development of account-security controls, payment and withdrawal infrastructure, trading technology and tools designed to help clients monitor portfolio and market risk.

The new Referral Rewards Program is available to eligible ARKBRIDGE clients in permitted jurisdictions and is subject to the full program terms, qualifying-deposit requirements, reward availability and applicable local restrictions.

About ARKBRIDGE

ARKBRIDGE is a multi-asset trading platform that has operated since 2020 and expanded broader access to new traders and investors in 2026.

The platform combines trading technology, risk-management tools, account-security controls and client support with access to global financial markets through web and mobile trading.

ARKBRIDGE has now reached more than 50,000 clients.

Risk Warning: CFDs are complex leveraged instruments and carry a substantial risk of loss. Account-security, payment-verification and client-funds handling controls do not protect against losses resulting from trading or adverse market movements.

Referral Program Notice: Availability, eligibility, qualifying deposits, cash rewards and non-cash rewards are subject to the ARKBRIDGE Referral Program Terms and applicable jurisdictional restrictions. The program is not available where prohibited.

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, August 13th, 2026, Chainwire

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its July TradFi trading data. Monthly trading volume in Stock and Index Futures increased by 64%, while the number of available instruments exceeded 285. Storage-related Futures volume rose by more than fivefold and accounted for nearly 20% of total TradFi Futures volume for the month, making storage the largest contributor to growth in July.

Storage Emerges as the Main Growth Driver in Futures Trading

Trading trends across AI-related instruments on MEXC diverged sharply in July. Storage-sector volume increased by 575% month over month, while computing-chip volume declined by 18%, indicating a shift in trading interest from computing chips toward data storage.

Growth within the storage segment was concentrated among leading names. SanDisk (SNDK) recorded a 1,573% month-over-month increase and ranked first by trading volume among Stock and Index Futures. Micron (MU) trading volume rose by 130%, placing it third, while SK Hynix (SKHYNIX) increased by 1,274% to rank fifth, and Samsung (SAMSUNG) climbed by 1,406% to rank ninth. By contrast, NVIDIA trading volume declined by 38%, ranking it tenth.

The shift may reflect growing market attention beyond AI computing chips toward the storage layer of AI infrastructure. As AI training and inference require greater data capacity and more high-bandwidth memory, segments such as HBM and NAND are attracting increased interest.

Trading interest in the AI sector also expanded beyond individual stocks to sector and regional market instruments. The leveraged semiconductor ETF SOXL posted a 912% month-over-month increase and ranked seventh, while the leveraged South Korea ETF KORU rose by 3,044% to rank eighth, the largest increase among the top 10 instruments.

Beyond U.S. and South Korean stocks, MEXC has also listed Japan’s Kioxia and China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies. Through individual stocks, industry ETFs, and regional market ETFs, users can access different parts of the global AI value chain with USDT from a single account, without switching between multiple regional brokers.

Trading activity also increased in AI application-layer instruments. Volume in robotics and automation rose by 129% month over month in July. However, the segment remains relatively small, and market participation is still at an early stage. On July 31, MEXC listed Pre-IPO Futures for Unitree Robotics, enabling users to participate in trading before a potential public listing. With the continued addition of related instruments, MEXC TradFi Futures now span multiple parts of the AI value chain, including models, chips, storage, energy, and robotics.

Outside the AI segment, U.S. stocks with close ties to the crypto market also gained traction in July. Trading volume across the group increased by 66% month over month, led by Strategy (MSTR) at 85%, followed by Coinbase at 59%, Circle (CRCL) at 48%, and Robinhood at 35%.

Tokenized Stocks Account for 62% of TradFi Spot Volume

Tokenized stocks became the largest category within MEXC’s TradFi spot market in July, accounting for 62% of total spot trading volume. The number of available instruments increased by 11% month over month.

Unlike the more concentrated trading activity in Futures, spot-market activity was distributed across a broader range of themes. SpaceX (SPCX), the most actively traded tokenized stock, accounted for only 1.7% of tokenized-stock volume, while the top 10 instruments together represented less than 9%.

The top 10 covered nine categories: commercial space, stablecoins, storage, electric vehicles, semiconductors, Bitcoin-related equities, software, index ETFs, and AI servers. The distribution reflects more diversified trading demand in the spot market.

MEXC now offers a stock-related product suite spanning Pre-IPO Futures, Stock and Index Futures, tokenized stocks, and RealStocks. The platform provides more than 285 Stock and Index Futures, over 200 tokenized U.S. stock instruments, and access to more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs through RealStocks. Users can access these different forms of stock-related trading using USDT from a single account.

On August 8, MEXC launched its first annual brand campaign, MEXC 0808: Stock Season. During the campaign, users can trade Stock Futures, tokenized stocks, and RealStocks with 0 trading fees, alongside a total prize pool of $500,000. The campaign runs through August 28.

MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, “Interest across the AI value chain and global equity markets is evolving at an unprecedented pace, as investors look beyond traditional asset boundaries for the next generation of opportunities. At MEXC, we believe access should evolve with them. By combining 0-fee trading, USDT settlement, two-way Futures, and broader asset coverage, we are reducing the friction of moving between markets and building a more connected trading experience where investors can discover opportunities, express conviction, and manage exposure from one platform.”

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets.
