Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has launched its new fiat Over-the-counter (OTC) platform for block trade. The service initially supports Euros (EUR), Pounds (GBP) and US Dollar (USD), soon to be extended to Turkish Lira (TRY), Brazilian Real (BRL), and South African Rand (ZAR) for fiat to crypto and vice-versa settlements. This new offering caters to institutional investors and professional crypto traders, ensuring enhanced privacy, broader liquidity, and expedited settlements for large-order trading.
Over-the-counter trading, or OTC trading, is essential for those looking to avoid the market impact of blocked trades. It provides personalized, secure services, ensuring that large transactions do not influence open market prices. Bitget’s OTC service stands out by offering professional execution, secure clearing, and competitive quotes throughout the transaction process, irrespective of the order size.
Bitget Fiat OTC utilizes leading Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to create an advanced security firewall, protecting clients’ assets. Transaction data remains private and is not publicized, ensuring a high level of privacy for clients. Bitget Fiat OTC does not hold custody of fiat or crypto assets for its clients, maintaining an additional layer of security and trust.
“Bitget’s Fiat OTC service is one of our milestones in providing traditional finance like security and seamless services to crypto pro traders on the platform. With enhanced security and advanced infrastructure for trading, there’s significant growth in participation from pro-traders and crypto influencers. Our compliant OTC desk will ensure that our most valued users receive exceptional customer support and trading solutions,” said Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Bitget
In strict adherence to global regulatory standards, Bitget OTC follows Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to combat money laundering (AML) and terrorism financing (CFT). Advanced algorithm models are used to monitor real-time client transactions, and any suspicious activities are flagged accordingly.
The OTC users have access to aggregated liquidity pool sourced from leading exchanges and market makers. Bitget OTC ensures competitive prices close to the spot rate, irrespective of the order size. Notably, there are no fees for account opening, maintenance, or processing, making the service cost-efficient for large-scale traders.
