Can you explain how over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency exchanges work? I'm curious about the process and how it differs from regular cryptocurrency exchanges.

    In an OTC cryptocurrency exchange, buyers and sellers trade directly with each other, without the involvement of a centralized exchange. This allows for larger transactions and more privacy compared to regular exchanges. OTC exchanges typically have a network of buyers and sellers, and they match them based on their preferences and requirements. The exchange acts as an intermediary, facilitating the trade and ensuring the security of the transaction. OTC exchanges are popular among institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who want to trade large volumes of cryptocurrencies without impacting the market price.

    OTC cryptocurrency exchanges work differently from regular exchanges because they don't rely on order books or public order matching. Instead, they use a dealer-based model, where the exchange acts as a dealer and provides liquidity to the market. Buyers and sellers can negotiate the price and terms of the trade directly with the exchange, which offers more flexibility and customization. OTC exchanges also offer services like escrow and dispute resolution to ensure smooth transactions. However, OTC trading may involve higher fees and counterparty risk compared to regular exchanges.
