🪐OTC Trading

Trade tokens after they hit the market

What is an OTC?

Over-the-counter (OTC) trading refers to the direct exchange of assets between parties, without the supervision or involvement of a centralized exchange. Unlike traditional exchanges where orders are matched through an order book, OTC trading occurs directly between buyers and sellers. Galaxy offers a state of the art anonymous OTC platform on multiple chains.

OTC trading serves numerous crucial purposes:

Liquidity: OTC markets provide liquidity for large trades that might not be easily executed on traditional exchanges // DEXS without significantly impacting the market price. This is particularly important for institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who deal with large volumes of assets.
Reduced Slippage: Slippage occurs when the price of an asset changes between the time a trade is initiated and when it is executed. In OTC trading, prices are negotiated directly between buyers and sellers, reducing the risk of slippage compared to trading on exchanges with order books.
Flexibility: OTC trading provides greater flexibility in terms of trade size, settlement options, and counterparty selection. Participants can tailor transactions to their specific needs and preferences, without being bound by the constraints of exchange rules and regulations. Galaxy introduces a revolutionary change to the OTC space by incorporating smart contracts, which guarantee secure and transparent transactions for buyers and sellers. This innovation not only simplifies the trading process but also significantly reduces the risk of fraudulent activities leading to capital loss. Galaxy offers never seen before OTC features such as OTC Vesting trades and innovative features such as private settlements.
