Understanding OTC Desks. What Are OTC Desks?
Over-the-counter desks are specialised platforms where buying and selling cryptocurrencies occurs directly between parties, bypassing traditional exchanges. Unlike public exchanges, over-the-counter desks facilitate off-exchange transactions, offering several advantages.
Privacy
OTC desks allow users to execute trades without impacting market prices or revealing their intentions publicly. OTC transactions shield personal information and trading strategies from public scrutiny. All CoinJar customers availing of this will need to be fully onboarded and verified (as well as complete an assessment and the 24 hour cooling off period).
Liquidity
These desks tap into globally sourced liquidity, ensuring swift execution with minimal slippage.
Personalised Service
Over-the-counter desks provide a concierge-like experience, guiding users through the process and tailoring solutions to their needs.
Large Trades
Over-the-counter desks cater to institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and businesses looking to transact substantial amounts of cryptocurrency.
Reduced Impact
By avoiding public exchanges, users prevent market disruption caused by large orders.
Price Control
Over-the-counter desks negotiate prices directly, allowing users the opportunity to obtain more favourable rates.
Multi-currency trading
Ability to trade BTC, ETH, and 50 other leading cryptocurrencies against GBP, EUR, USD, AUD and stablecoins.
