Understanding OTC Crypto Trades
What is an OTC trade?
An OTC (over-the-counter) trade is a direct transaction facilitated by a desk rather than a public order book. It can help when you want clearer execution steps and settlement planning.
What you should prepare
Share the asset, amount, preferred settlement method, and timing. Confirm the network and wallet details carefully before transferring funds.
Execution & settlement
