Institutional OTC
For transactions exceeding $50,000 USD, we recommend using our Institutional OTC (Over-The-Counter) desk. This service provides personalized support, deeper liquidity, and specialized settlement options.
When to use OTC?
- High-Volume Trades: Large tickets that would cause market impact on public order books.
- Custom Settlements: Requests for specific banking rails or same-day cross-border corridors.
- Privacy: Execute large trades without publicly broadcasting intent on-chain until the trade is finalized.
How it Works
1. Requesting Access
OTC access requires Institutional Tier Verification. If you are already at this level, you can request a quote via our API or dedicated chat channels (Slack/Telegram).
2. The Request for Quote (RFQ)
Submit a trade request defining your side (Buy/Sell) and the desired volume.
POST /v1/otc/quotes
{
"pair": "USD_USDC",
"amount": "250000.00",
"side": "buy"
}
3. Locking the Rate
Linka will return a firm quote valid for 60 seconds. Large trades require fast confirmation to lock in global market rates.
4. Settlement
Once confirmed, settlement instructions are generated. For OTC trades, we support:
- FedWire / SWIFT (USD, EUR)
- Local LatAm Rails (MXN, CLP, COP)
- On-chain Transfer (Any supported network)

- Fiat to Crypto: USD/USDC, MXN/USDT, CLP/USDC.
