The OTC Desk
This article is for clients located in Germany. If you are not based in Germany, please visit this article.

What is the OTC Desk?

The over-the-counter (OTC) desk offers a premium service that allows traders to execute orders off the our trading platform. We offer deeper liquidity for tighter spreads as well as a more private, personalized service for institutional clients and high net-worth individuals needing to fill large orders. Kraken’s OTC desk provides execution and settlement services that are discreet, secure and ultra-competitive.
Eligible clients can trade OTC from Kraken Pro. If you are not an OTC client and would like to trade OTC, click the button below to complete the form:
