Why do big traders switch to OTC? - fevolk - 12-10-2025
Over the past few months I’ve noticed that a lot of people who handle bigger volumes don’t even bother with regular spot trading anymore and just move straight to OTC. I’m used to doing everything on normal exchanges, so I never really paid attention to that side of the market, but a coworker mentioned he switched because the charts kept jumping the moment he placed larger orders. Now I’m curious what the real reason is. Why do so many big traders prefer OTC instead of the usual spot setup?

Back when I tried to move a sizeable amount for the first time, the price impact on regular spot surprised me — even splitting orders didn’t help much. That’s when someone pointed me toward pundexcy com at https://www.pundexcy.com, which works in a more direct, off-book way. The experience felt closer to dealing with a structured desk, almost like how a Cyprus Crypto Exchange handles larger clients: one quote, one conversation, no jumping candles while you think. The calm pace and fixed negotiation made it easier to avoid the weird spikes that happen when liquidity is thin on public markets.
