OTC is the acronym for Over The Counter, which is the markets where it is possible to trade various financial instruments (shares, bonds, currencies, swaps, etc …) outside the official and stock exchange financial circuits.
In OTC markets, the price is decided only by the meeting of supply and demand, regardless of the prices on the underlying ones.
Examples of OTC markets are the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market of FIAT currencies, that of cryptocurrencies and that of derivatives such as options.
In this type of markets there is no central office, but there is a decentralized network of clients and dealers, in which the latter act as market makers, offering quotes with a buy (bid) and a sell (ask) price.
Exchanges can be made over the phone, via email, via text message or via websites, through which a contract is stipulated in which the price, quantity and method of payment are fixed.
Discover all the characteristics of the OTC markets here.
You can buy using OTC by requesting a quote through our portal. Once you have received the quote we will carry out the necessary AML / FT compliance checks and then the exchange will take place.
P2P is effectively a method of buying and selling cryptocurrencies directly between users without using intermediaries or third parties within the process.
This is very convenient compared to the traditional cryptocurrency exchange: in the latter case, in fact, you do not have the ability to directly transact with another user.
P2P trading allows you to have more control over:
- Users who buy your cryptocurrencies
- The users you buy cryptocurrencies from
- The sale and purchase price
- Settlement times
This trading method uses specific market charts and aggregators to determine the best time to sell, buy or hold cryptocurrencies.
