According to @tradingpsych on Twitter, executing large cryptocurrency trades quietly is critical for minimizing slippage and avoiding adverse price movements. Broadcasting big trades in advance can alert market participants and automated trading bots, leading to front-running and unfavorable fills. Traders moving significant volume are advised to use techniques like iceberg orders or OTC desks to reduce market impact and maintain execution efficiency. This approach is especially important for institutional and whale traders seeking to preserve alpha and mitigate risks in highly liquid and volatile crypto markets (source: @tradingpsych, Twitter, 2024-06-10).

According to AltcoinGordon on Twitter, the Bitcoin OTC (Over-the-Counter) balance has reached an all-time low as of April 29, 2025 (source: AltcoinGordon Twitter). This significant reduction in available OTC Bitcoin supply suggests a tightening liquidity environment, which historically precedes increased price volatility and potential bullish momentum, as fewer coins are available for large-scale off-exchange trades. Traders should monitor on-chain and OTC flows closely, as reduced OTC balances can signal heightened demand and possible upward price pressure in the near term (source: AltcoinGordon Twitter).

According to @bolsaverse, testnet $MON tokens are experiencing high demand in OTC markets, trading at $0.05 per token. This surge is reminiscent of the Telegram Open Network ($TON) scenario, where testnet tokens were converted 1:1 to mainnet tokens. Traders are closely watching to see if $MON will follow a similar path, potentially impacting its future valuation and trading strategies.

According to Crypto Rover, a $2 billion purchase of Bitcoin was executed without causing a price movement, suggesting the use of over-the-counter (OTC) trades or advanced trading algorithms to avoid slippage. This method is often used by institutional investors to enter or exit large positions without affecting the market price (Crypto Rover, February 24, 2025).
