OTC Trading
Institutional Crypto OTC for Private Clients
For traders and HNW individuals who already bank somewhere and need a Swiss-regulated counterparty to execute and settle clean.
Who this is for
Active traders
Taking large trades with banking already in place.
HNW individuals
With established Swiss or EU private-banking relationships.
Traders looking for frictionless on/offramping
Anyone looking to on/offramp or trade crypto at size with institutional pricing and liquidity.
Holders rebalancing
Moving meaningful positions periodically rather than daily.
If you don't have a bank yet, or need help opening one with crypto-origin wealth, that's a different service see Private Banking.
How execution works
-
01
Quote
We pull live quotes from our top-tier institutional liquidity panel and show the best price. Our fee is added on top, disclosed before you confirm.
-
02
Confirmation
You confirm in writing; the trade executes at the quoted price.
-
03
Settlement
Crypto-to-fiat in 24–48 business hours; crypto-to-crypto within three business hours; cash-in confirms next business day, then quotes and executes.
Liquidity
Top-tier institutional liquidity, transparently priced
We route to top-tier institutional OTC desks and surface the best executable price: genuine institutional pricing, size that doesn't move the market against you, and trade flow invisible to the broader market counterparties see a regulated Swiss intermediary, not your name. The fee is disclosed before every trade; there is no hidden spread. We are not a market maker we don't take principal risk and don't internalize flow.
Why alt.co over a large exchange?
Discretion
Your activity at a Swiss-regulated intermediary is subject to Swiss confidentiality law and isn't pooled with retail flow.
Settlement to European banks
US-based desks struggle with clean settlement to European banks; Swiss-to-Swiss and Swiss-to-EU settlement by a regulated Swiss intermediary runs on established correspondent infrastructure.
Personal relationship, not a ticket queue
You have a counterparty, not a support ticket.
