NEW WEBSOCKET

Dear customers,

We just introduced a new WebSocket solution, which will replace our existing WebSocket streaming service.

Our new in-house solution reduces latency by 250-270 milliseconds and significantly increases the speed of pushing order_book messages.

The new WebSocket has been in open beta testing for a month and is now available to all Bitstamp customers.

We recommend that all customers switch to the new WebSocket solution as the old one will no longer be supported after a two-month crossover period. We will let you know before we discontinue support for the existing streaming service.

More announcements coming soon.

Best,
The Bitstamp Team
