FAQs
Cardano OTC (Over-the-Counter) trading allows users to buy or sell ADA amounts, directly between counterparties, rather than through crypto exchanges. It is often used for large-volume transactions that might otherwise impact the market price on crypto exchanges due to their size.This approach helps secure competitive pricing, avoids price impact, and offers greater confidentiality and flexibility.
Unlike centralized exchanges where trades are matched publicly via order books, OTC trades are executed directly with counterparties. This helps avoid front-running and price impact, which are common on retail exchanges when executing large trades. It also offers greater flexibility in terms of negotiating terms and post-trade settlement.
Institutions and HNWIs value Cardano OTC setups for their deep liquidity, personalized execution, discreet handling of large trades, and reduced market exposure. With Finery Markets, you gain access to a wide pool of vetted liquidity providers through one secure, institutional-grade platform.
