Zcash OTC Desk
Private ZEC execution outside public order books — structured, discreet, direct.
What an OTC desk does (in plain terms)
OTC (over-the-counter) execution coordinates a transaction outside public order books. Instead of placing visible bids/asks, the workflow is structured: size, settlement method, timing, and quote window are agreed before execution.
If you want the deeper breakdown: what is a Zcash OTC desk.
When OTC typically matters for ZEC
- • You want to avoid public order book signaling
- • Size-sensitive execution where slippage matters
- • Settlement constraints (fiat/crypto rails, timing, structure)
- • Privacy-sensitive coordination and controlled communication

Execution structure
For complex orders, execution may be split into tranches. This reduces visible impact and gives better control over timing. The goal is to coordinate a clean outcome, not to “spray” a large order into a public book.

FAQ
What is a Zcash OTC desk?
A Zcash OTC desk coordinates ZEC buy/sell transactions outside public exchange order books. The workflow is structured: size, settlement preference, timing, and a quote window are defined before execution.
Why use OTC instead of an exchange?
OTC can reduce public signaling of intent, help manage slippage on size-aware orders, and allow defined settlement coordination—especially when public order books are thin or timing constraints matter.
How does the quote process work?
You share an approximate size range, settlement preference, and constraints. You receive a confidential quote framework (or execution plan) and decide whether to proceed—no obligation.
Do you ever ask for seed phrases or wallet access?
Never. You should never share seed phrases, private keys, or remote wallet access. Any request for these is fraud.
What is tranche execution and when is it used?
Tranche execution splits an order into planned segments to manage timing and reduce market impact. It can be used when size is large relative to available liquidity or when execution needs tighter control.
