# Global OTC Trading

### <mark style="color:blue;">Overview</mark>

OTC trading enables institutions and enterprises to execute large crypto transactions without causing significant price impact on public markets.

This liquidity layer plays a critical role in supporting **stablecoin settlement for international trade and enterprise payments**.
