    OTC trading, also known as over-the-counter trading, is a method of trading cryptocurrencies directly between two parties without the involvement of an exchange. It allows for large trades to be executed without impacting the market price. Unlike regular exchange trading, OTC trading is typically conducted off-exchange and involves negotiating the terms of the trade directly with the counterparty. This can be done through brokers or through peer-to-peer platforms. OTC trading is popular among institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who require liquidity and privacy for their large trades.

    In OTC trading, the prices are often negotiated between the buyer and the seller, which can lead to more favorable rates compared to exchange trading. Additionally, OTC trading allows for the execution of trades that may not be possible on exchanges due to liquidity constraints. However, OTC trading carries its own risks, such as counterparty risk and the lack of regulatory oversight. It is important for participants in OTC trading to conduct due diligence and establish trust with their counterparties.
