An OTC trading platform is a service that allows individuals or institutions to trade assets privately. These assets can include cryptocurrencies, stocks, or other financial products. Instead of placing orders on a public order book like a traditional exchange, OTC trading allows two parties to complete large transactions directly with the help of a broker or specialized platform.
This method is especially useful for investors who want to buy or sell large amounts without affecting the market price. In regular exchanges, large trades can move the price quickly, which may not be ideal for traders. OTC platforms help avoid this issue by arranging trades privately.
