"In just two months of 2026, we've already hit 25% of last year's total OTC volume. The institutional demand for deep liquidity and trusted execution is stronger than ever."
"Crypto buying from fiat and stablecoins also accelerated materially. A $105 million WBETH-to-ETH conversion completed within two hours illustrated how OTC desks can execute high-value trades with reduced slippage."
"Execution patterns reflect a preference for customized settlement structures and reduced market signaling among large participants. OTC desks facilitate complex conversions, cross-asset reallocations, and time-sensitive trades."
"Institutional analysis tied client behavior to bitcoin's interaction with the $60,000 level in early February, prompting a surge in inquiries about whether a cycle low had formed."
Binance's OTC desk is experiencing a surge in trading activity, capturing 25% of last year's total OTC volume in just two months of 2026. Institutional demand for deep liquidity and trusted execution is driving this growth. Capital inflows from fiat and stablecoins have also increased, with significant trades executed efficiently through OTC desks. These desks facilitate complex trades while minimizing market impact.
