Trading · OTC Desk

Trade size at a firm price, by phone, email or online

The Xchange360 OTC desk executes large crypto trades directly, with deep liquidity, price certainty and regulated settlement, so you move size without moving the market.

In brief

What is the OTC desk?

An over-the-counter desk lets you execute a large trade directly at an agreed price, instead of pushing size through a public order book and moving the market against yourself. The desk sources liquidity across venues, quotes a firm price for the whole order, and settles in crypto or fiat.

Why not just use an exchange?

One firm price, or a price that moves against you

Why the desk

Move size without moving the market

Deep liquidity

Pricing that holds at size

Backed by the group liquidity and market-making desk, the price you are quoted holds for the whole block, not just the first slice of the order.

Regulated settlement

Settled to your accounts, often same day

On acceptance the trade settles bilaterally to your whitelisted wallet or bank, in crypto or fiat, through Xchange360’s licensed entities — not left sitting on an exchange.

FAQ

OTC desk questions

How does the OTC desk work?

You request a price for a specific size by phone, email or online. The desk quotes a firm rate for the whole order — sourced across multiple venues — and on acceptance the trade is locked and settled bilaterally to your whitelisted wallet or bank account.

Why use a desk instead of an exchange?

A large order on a public exchange slips the price as it fills and signals your move to the market. The desk prices the full block at once, so you get price certainty and discretion without market impact.

What can I trade and how is it settled?

Major crypto assets, stablecoins and fiat pairs, settled in crypto or fiat on a defined timeline — often same day — to destinations you’ve whitelisted.

Is execution regulated?

Trades run through Xchange360’s licensed entities with KYC/AML. Availability depends on jurisdiction and eligibility.
