Integral and StoneX have expanded their partnership through a new deployment at Equinix's SG1 facility in Singapore, enabling StoneX to access liquidity hosted locally across foreign exchange and precious metals markets. The expansion reduces cross-region latency and improves execution performance for clients operating throughout Asia-Pacific. Singapore is strengthening its position as a global liquidity hub as banks, brokers, and trading firms increase infrastructure investment in one of the fastest-growing financial markets.
StoneX Expands Infrastructure Access Through Equinix SG1 Deployment
StoneX already connects to Integral's infrastructure in Equinix's NY4 facility in New York and LD4 facility in London. The addition of SG1 allows the firm to access liquidity directly within Asia without routing activity through other regions.
Gerard Melia, Global Head of FX Sales at StoneX, said: "By extending our infrastructure in Singapore, we are improving our ability to serve clients in one of the world's fastest-growing financial markets. In a region where speed and access to liquidity are critical, our partnership with Integral enables us to deliver the low-latency performance, agility and reliability our clients depend on."
The deployment allows StoneX to access liquidity for foreign exchange and precious metals markets hosted locally in Singapore, reducing the physical distance market data must travel between venues, liquidity providers, and clients.
Singapore Attracts Growing Financial Infrastructure Investment
Major banks, asset managers, trading firms, and financial technology providers have expanded operations in Singapore over the past several years. The city-state's regulatory environment, geographic position, and role as a gateway to broader Asian markets have driven infrastructure buildout across FX, commodities, digital assets, and multi-asset markets.
Integral recently expanded its presence at Equinix SG1 and tripled capacity at the facility to support growing demand. The infrastructure currently processes more than one million tickets per day while supporting a broad regional client base.
Integral Triples Capacity at Singapore Facility
Integral has increased its operational capacity at the Equinix SG1 facility in response to rising regional trading volumes. The company's infrastructure at the facility now processes more than one million tickets per day.
Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral, said: "This expansion is a deepening of our longstanding relationship with StoneX, which spans over 15 years, and reflects the trust that global institutions place in our solutions. Extending its presence in Singapore will multiply the benefits that connectivity to Integral's platform brings across StoneX's FX and precious metals operations, facilitating faster, more streamlined access to regional liquidity."
The partnership between Integral and StoneX has operated for over 15 years across multiple global facilities.
Regional Liquidity Access Becomes Competitive Priority
Firms are building infrastructure closer to regional trading activity to reduce latency, improve market data delivery, and enhance execution efficiency. Physical distance continues to affect how quickly market data travels between venues, liquidity providers, and clients in foreign exchange and precious metals markets.
Institutions increasingly require liquidity positioned closer to where they operate and where their clients trade. Local deployments create stronger relationships with regional institutions while making liquidity networks more attractive to global participants.
