Case study #1

The problem

A European OTC desk serves institutional clients and HNWIs seeking large, discreet crypto trades. Their priority is sourcing tight spreads and deep liquidity for large-volume transactions without triggering price slippage or market impact.

Their existing providers lacked the ability to execute high-value trades quickly and reliably, particularly during periods of volatility or with illiquid trading pairs.

The solution

FinchTrade stepped in as a strategic liquidity partner, offering:

  1. Direct access to firm liquidity for major crypto pairs with minimal slippage
  2. Flexible execution models (GUI, API, Telegram) with tailored RFQ pricing for trades over $100K
  3. Non-custodial architecture to match OTC desks’ preference for asset control

Results

  1. IThe OTC desk reduced average execution time for large trades by 45%, with improved client satisfaction
  2. FinchTrade became the desk’s preferred liquidity provider for over 80% of its crypto-to-fiat volume
  3. Execution quality improved significantly: average spreads decreased, while fill rates and settlement reliability increased

Partnering with FinchTrade has transformed how we operate. They understand the urgency and complexity of OTC trades and deliver pricing and execution we can trust. Our clients now get better fills, faster settlements, and full confidence.

Head of Trading @ [Confidential]

for OTC desks is...

We value our reputation and pay thorough attention to AML policies and their practical implementation.

  1. KYC/KYB. We screen all directors and UBOs. Specialized software helps us to review companies.
  2. Constant KYT. A Top10 vendor assists us with transaction verification. All addresses get reviewed before trading.

Trade large volumes seamlessly with algorithms designed to deliver the best prices.

  1. Access deep liquidity from multiple sources
    • By sourcing prices from multiple exchanges, our algorithms deliver better execution than single-exchange solutions, using smart order routing to maximize value.
  2. Our algorithms secure the best bids and asks for optimal pricing.
    • The algorithms will pick the minimum ask and the maximum bid from the available sources and will combine the available volumes. This makes it possible to offer narrower spreads.
      Should Write Instead: "Our algorithms combine the minimum ask and maximum bid from multiple sources, creating narrower spreads and offering exceptional value for large trades.
  3. High volumes, low fees, better prices
    • High trade volumes reduce exchange commissions, enabling us to offer competitive prices directly to our partners.

We continuously innovate to ensure our pricing remains competitive and aligned with evolving market trends.

  1. Our team analyzes trading flows daily, identifying opportunities to refine spreads and enhance pricing efficiency.
    • Streamlined processes reduce hedging costs and optimize strategies, directly improving your final pricing.
    • Enhanced flow internalization ensures tighter spreads, maximizing value for our partners.
  2. Our team proactively engages with you to anticipate needs and adapt our products to emerging market trends.
    • Our product owners are readily available to address your requests and explore new opportunities.
    • Our development team prioritizes delivering your desired features with speed and precision.
    • We can onboard new coins within a single day, ensuring your portfolio stays ahead of market demands.
  3. High volumes, low fees, better prices
    • High trade volumes reduce exchange commissions, enabling us to offer competitive prices directly to our partners.

We value your time and thus provide you with the access to instant settlement.

  1. Flexible approach
    • No need to settle at the end of the day. Feel free to roll your positions if needed or settle multiple times during a day.
    • We work with multiple blockchains. For instance, USDT can be sent via ERC20, TRC20, OMNI and counting. Pick the one that suits you better.
  2. Our current custody provider is Fireblocks
    • Fireblocks is known for its secure infrastructure for the institutional digital asset investment community. It is also cost efficient.
  3. Main settlement principles
    • We exchange settlement addresses prior to trading (SSI, standard settlement instruction). All addresses get white-listed. A first transaction to a new address will always be a test settlement (e.g., $10 equivalent).
    • We will never send funds to third parties. We also do not accept payments from any party other than you. Addresses are validated automatically.
    • Settle 24/7 - Incoming crypto and fiat settlements are automatically reflected on your positions once received. Outgoing crypto settlements are automated, too.

We believe in an honest approach.

We have zero tolerance to front-running

Front-running is trading any asset based on insider knowledge of a future transaction that will affect its price. We will never front-run a flow of our trading partners. This is also prohibited by our internal policies.

We strive to eliminate market inefficiencies prior to showing the end price to our partners

Our algorithms enable opportunities which otherwise will not be seen or reachable. They aggregate best offers from multiple sources, so the market inefficiencies are filtered out.

No cross-venue arbitrage pocketing, better price is selected based on algorithms.

Our 24/7 automated systems minimize human error, ensuring maximum uptime and reliability

Automated systems allow engineers to focus on innovation and improvement.

  1. Our systems run 24/7, 365 days a year, with no downtime.
    • We rigorously select tech providers to ensure top-tier system performance
    • Automated monitoring and alerts prevent malfunctions before they occur.
    • Quotes are drawn from multiple liquidity sources, with automatic redirection if a source goes offline.
  2. Updates are rigorously tested in development before release.
    • Our automated testing and release processes minimize human involvement.
  3. Automated controls ensure seamless operational processes
    • Order execution and settlements are fully automated for efficiency.
    • Hourly trade verifications are fully automated for accuracy.
    • Real-time monitoring ensures balance and performance tracking.
    • End-of-day reconciliations are automated for accuracy and efficiency.

We analyse, monitor and proactively manage our risks in order to be well-equipped for such disastrous events as market turmoil, hacker attacks, defaults of trading partners.

Market risk is held in check

Risk exposure to price fluctuations of bitcoin and other assets is controlled and limited: our algorithms are tuned in a way to take only very short-term market exposure up to a certain threshold while remaining market neutral most of the time.

We control and constantly improve system latency to avoid any market risk due to delayed execution.

We react to market conditions swiftly by reviewing our risk limits.

Operational risks are limited

The algorithms have a system of various trading limits, that are dynamic and reactive to market and liquidity change.

We keep diversifying our liquidity sources and establish direct connectivity to them to improve robustness and decrease round-trip delays.

We implemented robust credit risk management

Each counterparty undergoes credit risk assessment to establish an appropriate limit.

Limits are monitored and updated regularly.

To maintain the limit the counterparty is required to keep the positive equity with us.
