Move money, without moving the market
Move your trade off the public order book with our dedicated OTC trading desk, specifically designed to manage risks in real-time and minimize market impact.
MidChains' OTC desk executes institutional-size digital asset trades off-book, at an all-in price without slippage.
One fixed price quote, one settlement
Our desk provides you with one firm, all-in price for your specific trade. This won’t change once it’s given, so you have the certainty of the exact cost before you move forward.
Upfront inclusive quotes
Deep liquidity
Instant settlement
Discretion at every step
Trade large volumes without signalling the market. An authorised trader handles each order through a private channel, with fixed-price quotes, deep liquidity and settlement managed end to end.
Execute with discretion
Keep your trading activity discreet, helping reduce information leakage and the potential market impact associated with exposing large orders.
Price certainty
Receive competitive, fixed-price quotes tailored to your transaction. Lock in pricing before execution and trade with greater certainty.
Institutional-grade liquidity
Access deep pools of global liquidity 24/7, built to absorb large orders with minimal market impact.
Request, accept, settle
MidChains executes large transactions off-exchange to minimise market impact, ensure price certainty, and support your individual execution requirements. Request a quote for your trade size, receive one firm price, and accept within seconds. No negotiation, no partial fills. The trade settles at exactly the price you were quoted.
Liquidity when it matters most
Volatile markets are when liquidity counts. We've traded through severe conditions and kept our clients able to buy and sell.
Built for scale
Execute large block trades
Move significant size in a single transaction, without exposing your order to the public book or the slippage that comes with it.
Convert treasury holdings
Move between fiat and digital assets at a fixed, pre-agreed price, so your treasury function can plan with certainty, not estimates.
Rebalance portfolios at scale
Adjust large positions efficiently through a single counterparty, without working the trade across multiple venues or timeframes.
Move seamlessly between fiat and digital assets
Our on- and off-ramp services make it straightforward to move between traditional currencies and digital assets. Fund your account in fiat, or convert digital assets back into fiat, with a streamlined process designed to support institutional trading and settlement.
