  OTC trading, also known as over-the-counter trading, refers to the process of trading cryptocurrencies directly between two parties, without the involvement of an exchange. This type of trading is often done off-exchange and is typically used for large trades or for trading illiquid assets. On the other hand, trading on traditional cryptocurrency exchanges involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies on a centralized platform, where buyers and sellers place orders and the exchange matches them. OTC trading offers more privacy and flexibility, as it allows for customized deals and avoids the price fluctuations seen on exchanges. However, trading on exchanges provides more liquidity and transparency, as prices are determined by the market and there is a wider range of trading options.

  When it comes to OTC trading, it's like making a deal directly with another person. You negotiate the terms, agree on the price, and make the trade happen. It's more like a peer-to-peer transaction. On the other hand, trading on traditional cryptocurrency exchanges is like buying and selling stocks on a stock exchange. You place an order, and the exchange matches your order with someone else's order. The exchange acts as an intermediary and ensures that the trade is executed fairly. OTC trading is often used by institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who want to trade large amounts of cryptocurrencies without affecting the market price.
