OTC Trading Desk

Blacksheep's OTC desk serves clients requiring large-value cryptocurrency transactions starting from $10,000 AUD with no upper limit (subject to enhanced due diligence for very large amounts). The service is designed for institutional trades, corporate treasury operations, and significant personal investments requiring professional execution.

Competitive Spreads: Reduced spreads compared to retail on/off-ramp services, with pricing that improves for repeat customers and larger order sizes. Negotiated pricing available for high-volume clients establishing ongoing relationships.

Deep Liquidity Access: Direct market access to institutional liquidity providers, ensuring large orders can be filled efficiently without significant slippage or market impact.

Personalized Service: Dedicated support from Blacksheep's Australian-based team with deep expertise in crypto markets, payments regulation, and large-value transaction processing.

Client Types

The service accommodates diverse institutional needs:

• Institutional Investors: Crypto funds, family offices, and institutional portfolios executing large allocations or rebalancing positions
• Corporate Treasuries: Businesses managing cryptocurrency holdings as part of treasury operations, converting between fiat and crypto for operational or strategic purposes
• High-Net-Worth Individuals: Personal investors making significant crypto purchases or liquidations that exceed retail platform limits
• Crypto-Native Businesses: Blockchain companies, exchanges, DeFi protocols, and Web3 startups requiring large-value fiat/crypto conversions

Execution and Settlement

Self-Custody Maintained: OTC trades maintain client self-custody throughout the process. Crypto is delivered directly to client-specified wallets, and fiat is remitted directly to client bank accounts.

Flexible Settlement: Support for same-day settlement when time-critical, or scheduled settlement to align with client cash flow requirements.

Multi-Asset Support: Trade major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, stablecoins (USDC, USDT), and other supported digital assets against AUD and other fiat currencies.

Multi-Currency Infrastructure: Bridge between 20+ fiat currencies and digital assets, supporting AUD, NZD, SGD, EUR, GBP, USD, with automatic FX conversion using transparent spreads.

Compliance and Due Diligence

All OTC transactions are processed under Blacksheep's AUSTRAC DCE registration (DCE100860053-001) and Independent Remittance Dealer license, ensuring full regulatory compliance. Enhanced KYC/KYB requirements may include source of funds verification, beneficial ownership documentation for corporate clients, purpose of transaction disclosure, and ongoing transaction monitoring for high-volume clients.

Unlike traditional exchanges requiring custody surrender, clients maintain full self-custody throughout the trading process. The service addresses systematic challenges faced by crypto-native businesses and institutional investors, including restrictive banking policies and the need for fast, borderless settlement infrastructure.
