💬 The available over-the-counter (OTC) Bitcoin offer has hit a historic low of 142,000 BTC, according to analyst with the nickname Darkfost. In September 2021, the figure was 550,000 BTC.
OTC services are typically used by professional investors and institutional players, allowing them to conduct large transactions privately without affecting the asset's price. But in a supply shortage scenario, these players will be forced to turn to the open market, Darkfost suggested.
He also warned that due to the closed nature of OTC trading, such signals should be treated as supplementary.
