OTC Trading
Institutional Crypto OTC for Companies
For corporates, family offices, funds, and treasuries that need clean, audit-grade execution under a Swiss regulatory framework.
Who This Is For
Operating businesses
Companies with crypto on the balance sheet converting at scale for operations, payroll, or investment.
Family offices
Allocating on behalf of principals, rebalancing positions, or managing multi-generational crypto exposure.
Funds
Hedge, crypto, and VC funds managing positions or processing token distributions.
Mining operations
Converting block rewards to operating cash on a regular cadence.
Project treasuries
Diversifying from native tokens into fiat or other crypto discreetly, off public order books.
Traditional financial entities
Building crypto exposure for clients or proprietary strategies.
Each profile carries different documentation requirements at onboarding; the execution and settlement infrastructure is the same.
How Execution Works
Two differences for entities: instructions come from authorized signatories, and confirmations are formatted for corporate accounting.
-
01
Quote
Authorized signatory requests a price; we surface the best executable price from our institutional liquidity panel; fee disclosed before confirmation.
-
02
Confirmation
Written instruction from an authorized signatory; trade executes.
-
03
Settlement
Crypto-to-fiat 24–48 business hours; crypto-to-crypto within one business hour; to corporate bank account or designated wallet.
-
04
Reporting
Audit-grade trade confirmation; year-end statement compiled across all activity.
KYB Onboarding
What's Different from Individuals
Framework: Swiss AML law (GwG/AMLA). We handle the process end-to-end.
Corporate documentation: certificate of incorporation; articles of association; recent commercial-register extract; financial statements where relevant; description of business activity and source of corporate funds.
Beneficial ownership: Swiss law requires identifying any individual holding 25%+ (directly or indirectly); for higher-risk profiles the threshold is functionally lower. We map ownership, identify UBOs, and run KYC on each.
Authority to trade: board resolution (or equivalent) authorizing the relationship; list of authorized signatories with sample signatures; specimen instructions in the agreed format.
Multiple signatories: single, dual, threshold-based, or category-based authorities all supported.
Timeline: clean entity profiles onboard in 1–2 weeks; complex structures take longer. Realistic timeline given after initial review.
Liquidity
Same panel, same standards
Same institutional liquidity panel as the private-client desk. We route to the best executable price as an agent, not a principal no risk-taking on your trades, no internalized flow, no quoting against you. Fee disclosed in writing before every trade; no hidden spread.
Common Use Cases
Operating businesses
Periodic conversion, treasury rebalancing, converting inbound crypto payments.
Mining companies
Mined coins to fiat for opex, often on a cadence.
Family offices
Allocation, rebalancing, partial liquidation.
Funds with token distributions
Timing-sensitive flows handled operationally.
Project treasuries diversifying from native token
Discreet, off public order books.
Why This Over a US-Based Institutional Desk
Swiss regulation
Swiss AML law, VQF supervision, BDO-audited, established 2017; a framework European banks recognize.
EU & Swiss bank settlement that works
Swiss-to-EU settlement on established correspondent infrastructure rather than flagged/held wires.
Discretion for sensitive flows
Treasury diversification, family-office rebalancing, fund distributions don't appear on public order books.
