What is OTC trading?
Over-the-counter or ‘OTC’ trading is commonly referred to as
off-exchange trading and is not specific to crypto. OTC deals can
involve a broad range of assets from commodities to financial
instruments such as stocks and derivatives. Generally, OTC markets
and deals are done via dealer networks where an agent or broker
brings buyers and sellers together. This differs from exchange
trading where buyers and sellers trade peer to peer by posting their
own price levels on an open order book.
OTC vs exchange trading
For most people looking to buy Bitcoin or crypto, trading on a
secure and reliable exchange like Independent Reserve will satisfy
all trading needs. However, if you are looking to buy or sell large
amounts of cryptocurrency(50,000+ NZD), executing a full order at
once on an open exchange may negatively impact your entry price as
the order gets filled. This negative impact is referred to as
“slippage” and can make the Bitcoin price go up due to shallow
liquidity.
