🎯 What is off-platform trading (OTC) on Binance?
Off-platform trading (OTC) is a service that allows you to buy or sell large amounts of digital currencies directly with another party, without going through the open market order book (Spot Market).
The price is agreed directly between the two parties, and execution is often quick and confidential.
