OTC operations, from English Over The Counter, they do not occur in the same way as other market operations. These types of operations do not leave public record or alter the market price. It is usually used for large-volume purchases and sales, being the gateway to cryptocurrencies for institutional money.
What are OTC Trades?
CWhen we talk about OTC operations u Over-The-Counter, we mean transactions that do not operate or trade within a formal exchange.
Traditional purchases / sales are limited to market conditions. The purchase and sale orders are based on a public order book in which the open orders are reconciled with those that are published.
In OTC operations, conditions are negotiated bilaterally. The agreement between the two parties is private and the exchange takes place outside the public eye, resulting in an invisible operation for the market.
The key to understanding OTC trades is that they are mutually beneficial. In less "liquid" markets, large volume purchases or sales would do 2 things:
- Large increases (if it is a purchase) or decreases (if it is a sale) in prices, resulting in an alteration in the market and the sentiment of its participants.
- Large losses of money, since when you buy against the market order book, your operations raise or lower the price of the next orders you want to execute.
Of course, we want to emphasize that OTC operations are not illegal operations nor are they used to avoid paying taxes.
Advantages of OTC operations
If a person wants to buy or sell a large quantity, make an operation OTC The following main advantages can be provided:
- Saving money: One of the most important advantages. In OTC operations, money is saved by agreeing on a price that is beneficial for both parties, which does not have to correspond to the market price. This generates a WIN-WIN scenario for both parties.
- Privacy: The market will not see variations, hiding its entry or exit intentions. Furthermore, with a trusted intermediary between the counterparties, they do not need to reveal their identities to each other, the intermediary being the only one who knows both parties.
- Great limits: An OTC exchange is not tied to participating in an exchange under fixed rules. This gives participants the ability to trade securities more widely and without the low limits of traditional platforms.
OTC and cryptocurrencies
Despite Bitcoin being the cryptocurrency with the largest market capitalization, its capitalization is ridiculously small compared to those enjoyed by other types of fiat currencies, precious metals and the rest of traditional financial markets.
This is why, in the cryptocurrency sector, an OTC solution is so important.
Example: Let's imagine that you are someone who wants to buy bitcoin worth 100 million euros. Doing it through a traditional trading market would mean that only the first million euros were purchased at the Bitcoin price of that moment. The rest would be paying more and more expensive for each of the bitcoins. You yourself are raising the price of the bitcoins you want to buy.
On the other hand, if someone wants to sell 100 million euros in bitcoins, they would be lowering the price of each bitcoin, obtaining a lower profit for each one.
This is due to order book, and the depth / liquidity of the market.
