While the average user on SunCrypto engages in routine spot and futures trading, the Over-the-Counter (OTC Trade) Desk offers a premium, discreet gateway to the crypto market tailored for High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), institutions, and corporate treasuries.
The SunCrypto OTC Desk specializes in providing high-volume traders with customized products and solutions that minimize market impact, ensure price certainty, and deliver white-glove service.
Core OTC Trade Products
The essence of the OTC desk is to facilitate large block trades—transactions that would severely disrupt the price if executed on the public exchange’s order book.
1. Block Spot Trades (The Foundation)
This is the most common OTC trade product. It involves the direct buying or selling of massive quantities of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or major stablecoins (USDT, USDC).
- The Problem it Solves: If an investor sells ₹50 Crore worth of BTC on the public market, the sudden flood of sell orders would cause the price to rapidly fall, leading to high slippage and a poor average execution price.
- The OTC Solution: The SunCrypto OTC Desk sources the necessary liquidity privately from its network of counterparties, quotes the client a single, fixed price for the entire ₹50 Crore transaction, and executes it off-exchange, thereby preserving the public market price.
2. Fiat-to-Crypto and Crypto-to-Fiat Conversions
For institutional clients, the seamless and compliant conversion between traditional currency and crypto is vital.
- Product: The desk provides efficient, large-scale conversions from INR to Crypto (on-ramping) and Crypto to INR (off-ramping).
- Value Proposition: This solution is particularly crucial in the highly regulated Indian market, ensuring large transfers are handled with the necessary regulatory checks and minimizing settlement time.
3. Illiquid and Exotic Assets
The OTC desk often acts as the sole accessible market for assets that have low trading volume or are newly launched.
- Product: The desk can source or offload specific altcoins, DeFi tokens, or even tokenized real-world assets not listed on the standard SunCrypto Spot Exchange.
- Benefit: It connects specific buyers and sellers with specialized interests that cannot be met through general market liquidity.
Specialized OTC Trade Solutions for Institutions
Beyond simple spot transactions, sophisticated OTC desks offer tailored execution strategies and support services to manage risk and meet complex corporate needs.
1. Phased Execution (VWAP/TWAP)
Institutions often need to buy or sell a large position over a period of time without revealing their full intent.
- Solution: The OTC desk can employ algorithms like Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) or Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP).
- Mechanism: Instead of executing the entire order at once, the desk breaks the order into smaller, non-market-moving pieces and executes them algorithmically over hours or days to achieve the best possible average price.
2. Dedicated Relationship Management
The OTC trade is fundamentally a relationship business.
- Solution: Every client receives a dedicated OTC manager who provides personalized consultation, market insights, and real-time support.
- Benefit: This ensures complex trading instructions, custody solutions, and settlement preferences are handled accurately, providing a premium, “white-glove” service level required by HNIs and corporate clients.
3. Customized Settlement and Custody Options
Flexibility in settlement terms is a key differentiator.
- Solution: The desk allows negotiation on settlement mechanisms (e.g., immediate internal ledger transfer vs. external bank wire). For large trades, they can also coordinate with institutional custodians to ensure the secure and compliant transfer of assets.
- Security: Utilizing secure channels and internal settlement protocols minimizes counterparty risk and ensures transactions are completed quickly and safely.
