📌 When Does Loyalty Beat a Better OTC Quote? OTC trading has picked up pace in 2026: in Q1, spot OTC volume on Finery Markets grew 43% YoY, and the number of transactions jumped 160%. Trading activity is becoming much more transaction-heavy, but have you ever wondered how do companies organize their recurring $BTC trades? 📊 From an execution strategy perspective, there are 2 approaches: concentrating volume with one OTC desk for better terms or getting competing quotes from several providers. Let's see how they compare: 🔹 One Primary Desk Concentrate activity around one desk allows companies to build a consistent trading relationship and negotiate pricing based on their regular transaction volumes. It also simplifies operations, as the team works with the same counterparty for execution and settlement. WhiteBIT OTC, for example, combines flexible volume-based pricing with deep liquidity, real-time quotes and dedicated 24/7 support: https://institutional.whitebit.com/otc?utm_source=coinmarketcap&utm_medium=otc_maxine&utm_campaign=post 🔹 Several Competing Desks Working with several desks allows companies to compare quotes, negotiate better $BTC prices and access alternative liquidity when needed. However, spreading volume across providers may also mean losing access to better negotiated terms. So what influences the decision? ✅ Trading frequency, volumes, execution costs and negotiated terms all play a role. Companies with consistent, high trading volumes may benefit more from working with one primary desk, while those with varying trade sizes might prefer several providers. A 3-month comparison of quotes and actual costs can help companies understand which approach works better for their needs. Disclaimer: This is not financial or investment advice.
