Title: Dark Pool and OTC Bitcoin Trading
Post by: Finxflo(FXF) on August 03, 2020, 04:13:06 PM
For those traders looking to buy large volumes of Bitcoin, who do you use and do they provide OTC and or Dark pool trading? Is it available to everyone regardless of trading volume? and are you charged extra for these services?

How large volumes of Bitcoin you want to buy? Much better if you specify it, like an estimation only.
Also, which country is the buyer originally from? Because there are some countries that are so strict when it comes to buying Bitcoins, besides paying a huge amount of fees, you may also do such a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) Policy. I much highly suggest to use OTC to buy, much safe, especially the buyer don't have any idea.

Definitely, yes.
When such large sums of money are involved, I would always fall back on an institution with which OTC trading is conducted. In my opinion there are 2 options that come into question:
  • Exchanges like Bitfinex, Bitstamp and Kraken which offer OTC-tradings
  • Institutional OTC-brokers ... but I honestly don't know if there are brokers who offer bitcoin trading, too.

extra fees usually comes from the trading fees, as for the price some that i know offer a discount if you buy a large amount of bitcoin. you still have to take care of the fiat transfer fees too btw. i'm not sure about centralized services but some traders that i know of managed to deal over 100 btc in p2p trades.
