What is the Kraken OTC Desk?
The over-the-counter (OTC) desk is ideal for Kraken clients who wish to conduct large orders and do not want to place them on the public exchange causing price disruption. By using the OTC desk, clients can directly interact with Kraken Traders and facilitate specific transaction prices and details. We offer deeper liquidity and a private, more personalized service to institutions and high net-worth individuals needing to conduct large orders. Whether you are trading blocks of $100,000, €10,000,000 or 2,000 Bitcoin, the Kraken OTC desk will provide you with execution and settlement services that are discreet, secure and ultra-competitive.
- Clients must be verified to the Pro level (personal or business) to conduct OTC transactions.
- Minimum trade size is 100,000 USD equivalent, however exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
- OTC trading is not available to residents of Japan.
As with all Kraken funding methods, the name registered on your bank account has to match the name registered on your Kraken account.
