I just noticed that many people are still confused about the difference between regular trading and over-the-counter trading. Let me explain it more simply.

In short, OTC or over-the-counter trading is direct buying and selling between the buyer and the seller. It doesn't go through a centralized exchange like traditional markets, which makes it more decentralized. There are no middlemen like in the past, and it's much more convenient.

What's interesting is that OTC trading isn't limited to digital assets or Forex. It can be used in stock markets, commodities, and many other markets. The exchange terms are agreed upon by both parties, offering high flexibility.

The advantages of OTC are clear — 24-hour market access, no need to wait for market opening hours, access to securities not available on standard markets such as bonds and derivatives, fewer regulations, lower fees, and higher profit opportunities.

However, you should be cautious about the risks. OTC trading isn't as tightly regulated by financial institutions. The risk of fraud is relatively high. Some companies registered through OTC don't meet international standards, and prices can be very volatile. Transparency in transactions can also decrease.

In fact, OTC trading carries higher risks than genuine markets because of relaxed reporting requirements. Anyone interested in trading this way should study thoroughly beforehand to see if it's suitable for them. Don't jump in without understanding, as the risks are significant.
