    In OTC trading, transactions are conducted directly between two parties, without the involvement of an exchange. This allows for greater privacy and flexibility in terms of trade size and pricing. On the other hand, traditional exchanges operate as centralized platforms where buyers and sellers come together to trade assets. These exchanges provide a transparent marketplace with order books, matching engines, and regulatory oversight. OTC trading is often used for large trades or for assets that are not listed on exchanges.

    Crypto OTC trading is like making a deal with a friend in a back alley, while trading on traditional exchanges is like buying and selling stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. OTC trading is more informal and less regulated, allowing for more flexibility in terms of negotiation and pricing. Traditional exchanges, on the other hand, provide a structured and regulated environment for trading, ensuring fair and transparent transactions. Both methods have their pros and cons, depending on the specific needs and preferences of traders.
