Request an over-the-counter quote, across a different settlement currency: confirm it, and review your OTC history.
1. Open the OTC tab
- On the Trading Service page, select a trading pair from the dropdown (for example USDT-NGN).
- Click the OTC tab in the top-right corner, above the order book, if it isn't already selected.
- The order book stays scoped to the selected pair, and the quote panel on the right switches to OTC mode.
2. Request an OTC quote
- In the OTC panel, click the Select Coin dropdown under From and choose the asset you're giving up (for example USDT).
- Enter an amount, or use the 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% quick-fill buttons next to the field. The Tradeable Balance shown above the field is how much of that asset you have available to trade.
- Click the Select Coin dropdown under To and choose the asset you want to receive. Unlike RFQ, OTC lets you pick a different settlement currency here (for example GHS instead of NGN).
- Use the swap-direction button between the two fields at any time to flip From and To.
- Click Get OTC quote.
OTC can cross currencies
OTC quotes aren't limited to the pair shown in the order book β you can request a quote into a different currency or asset than the one currently selected, as long as you hold a balance to trade from
3. Review and confirm the quote
- Review the exchange rate and inverse rate shown, along with a short countdown before the quote expires.
- Click Proceed to confirm the trade before the countdown ends.
Quotes expire fast
The rate is only locked in for a few seconds. If you see "Quote expired," click Refresh to get a new rate, then confirm right away.
What happens next
Once confirmed, the trade appears in the OTCs tab under Orders with a status of Filled. Your Total Asset Balance and Pending Balance update to reflect the trade, and the individual From/To wallet balances adjust accordingly.
4. Review your OTC history
- Scroll down to the Orders section beneath Settlement Health.
- Click the OTCs tab (next to RFQs, Ads, Pending OTC Orders, Open Orders, and Groups).
- A table lists every OTC trade you've placed, with the same columns as RFQ history:
- Sort any column, search by keyword, or filter using the icons in the top-right of the Orders panel. Use View History on the Settlement Health card for a broader, settlement-level view across all order types.
