Feed latency at the 95th percentile: 288–590 ms

Order-book feed latency on 16 crypto exchanges: medians from 35.0 ms (Coinbase) to 111.5 ms (BTSE), a 95th percentile of 288–590 ms on every venue, and data in every minute of the day. Plus the coverage check that catches a feed that stays connected and stores almost nothing. Vultax measured the order-book feeds of 16 centralised crypto exchanges and asked two separate questions.

- Fastest median: 35.0 ms
- Slowest median: 111.5 ms
- Coverage check, one venue feed: 12 of 1,440 min
