  OTC trading and exchange trading are two different ways to buy and sell bitcoin. OTC trading refers to transactions that occur directly between two parties, without the involvement of an exchange. This type of trading is often used for large transactions and offers more privacy. On the other hand, exchange trading takes place on a cryptocurrency exchange platform, where buyers and sellers trade bitcoin using the exchange's order book. This method provides more liquidity and transparency compared to OTC trading.

  When it comes to liquidity, exchange trading generally offers higher liquidity than OTC trading. This is because exchanges have a larger pool of buyers and sellers, allowing for faster and easier execution of trades. OTC trading, on the other hand, may have lower liquidity as it relies on finding a counterparty willing to trade at a specific price.
