Trading demand handled by the platform’s 4 data centers also increased significantly. January’s total volume jumped by 13 percent from the cyclical dip in the previous month and a solid 34 percent growth year-over-year.

As always, the London data center , LD4, handled most of the trades with $923.07 billion in notional trading volume, which was 8.35 percent higher than the previous month. Tokyo remained in the second position, handling $143.10 billion, while the New York data center processed $118.20 billion worth of trades.

The Singapore data center, which PrimeXM deployed in July 2021, is still in its infancy stage and handled trade volumes worth only $1.85 billion, but the figure is steadily growing.
