I imagine a easier solution. Use a random number generator in both sides, with the same seed. Then use a slower way to send "packets re-sync" that will contain the delta from the generated number, to the real actual number.

Congrats. You've just re-invented the crytpo method called "xor with a pseudorandom bitstream". And no, it doesn't minimize your round-trip latency at all.

I suppose this speeds are needed for some "fast speed transaction", that are leeching money from the background noise on the market.

Unfortunately, you are correct on that point.
