Australia’s most trusted crypto OTC desk

Our over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk offers deeper liquidity and a private, more personalised service for SMSFs, institutional investors, trust fund managers, and high-net-worth individuals who need to fill large orders that might be too price-disruptive on open markets at exchanges.

Whether you are looking to trade Bitcoin (BTC) or other cryptocurrencies OTC for $50,000, $1,000,000 or over $50,000,000, our industry-leading desk will provide you with seamless trade execution and settlement services that are discrete, secure and ultra-competitive.
