How it works

  1. Signup

    Get started by simply emailing [email protected] with your inquiry. When you decide you want to buy or sell a large amount of digital assets over-the-counter, begin by approaching the Kraken OTC desk and completing the onboarding documentation.

  2. Onboard

    To become an OTC client you must go through the standard Kraken onboarding process, obtaining the highest level of verification, to enable large transactions.

    All OTC clients are required to provide various types of documentation such as a Government ID, Proof of Residence and Proof of Income.

  3. Communicate

    Open up a line of communication, via chat, text or voice call with the trade-desk about your preferred trade. It doesn’t have to be long, you can simply say:

    You: “I would like to buy 200 Bitcoin.”

    Our Trader: “I can sell you 200 BTC at a price of $7,000 USD per Bitcoin.”

  4. Confirm trade

    You choose whether or not you wish to buy at the price offered. If you agree, the trade is confirmed, and the trader will ask for a deposit address where they can send the purchased assets.

    After confirming the trade, wait for a confirmation of the transaction via email. In this email you’ll find wire instructions for the OTC bank account, where you will wire the funds.

  5. Complete trade

    Once the Kraken OTC receives the wire, our trader will send the assets to the specified wallet address, along with a confirmation email to your inbox, and the trade is complete.
