Cryptocurrency Exchanges allow for the exchange of blockchain assets with monetary value. These assets could then be transferred to hard/cold wallets and held as investment stakes, or they are simply kept on the exchange to be traded for other cryptocurrencies for profit by traders.

Exchanges are very important tools/services in the crypto space because, without exchanges, there will be no liquidity and interoperability of blockchain assets and cryptocurrency.

What is Trade.io

Trade.io is a next-generation financial institution based on blockchain technology, providing the ultimate in security and transparency. By leveraging decades of experience in the investment banking, trading & FinTech sectors, and combining them with the power and transparency of the distributed ledger, trade.io has created a truly unique product that will revolutionize asset trading and investment banking.^src/

Trade.io provides blockchain services that range from a safe and secure cryptocurrency exchange to a full ICO program for blockchain startups.

On Trade.io's cryptocurrency exchange, traders enjoy a lot of benefits which includes a very minimal withdrawal fee and the option to take part in a $50 Million liquidity pool for passive income.

Trade.io introduces an OTC Trading Desk.

Recently, Trade.io introduced an OTC (Over-The-Counter) trading desk that will allow for an off-exchange cryptocurrency trading directly between people without supervision from the exchange itself.

In this case, as a registered Trade.io account holder, the OTC desk allows you to deal directly with the company without having to log in to the exchange to trade with the available orders from everyone else.

With simple communication channels established on Social Media (such as Telegram, Skype and Whatsapp and a direct phone call), buying and selling of cryptocurrencies can be done by just about anyone without having to go through the rudiments of setting a trade order on the exchange.

Clients simply ask for a price and they get a quote from the company, which is open to negotiations and discounts, given the quantity they are willing to buy. Once a price is agreed on, they transfer the money to Trade.io, and the provided wallet (an on-exchange wallet or an off-exchange wallet) will be credited almost instantly.

This is important because OTC trading is a very significant part of the world's global finance. And it makes the buying and selling of assets less-complicated than it seems and it is a welcome addition to an already complex crypto space. Just as OTC trading desks for stocks generate billions of dollars as revenues each year, I am convinced that OTC trading desks for cryptocurrencies will be even more utilized in the coming years than trading on-exchange.

Benefits of Trade.io's OTC trading desks to users.

Security and professionalism.

No technical knowledge required.

Since Trade.io's OTC trading desk does not require clients to be logged in on the exchange, users do not have to learn how to make or set up trade orders before purchasing cryptocurrencies. They simply need a wallet (either on Trade.io or a cold storage) to accept the cryptocurrency and then they can deal directly with the company.
