💫OTC Market

The term OTC, or "over-the-counter", is frequently used in financial markets to describe a decentralized marketplace where financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, and currencies, are directly exchanged between two parties without the intervention of a formal exchange. OTC markets are typically composed of large financial institutions and high net worth individuals, who conduct trades in substantial quantities and can directly negotiate prices with each other.

In contrast to a centralized exchange, an OTC market lacks a physical trading floor or a centralized clearinghouse. Instead, trades are carried out via phone, email, or online platforms. The absence of the same regulations and reporting requirements that exist for trades on formal exchanges can make OTC trading less transparent and riskier.

While OTC trading is most often associated with the buying and selling of stocks and bonds, it also encompasses the trading of other financial instruments, including derivatives, commodities, and foreign currencies. As an integral component of global financial markets, the OTC market plays a significant role in the global economy.
