Published December 10, 2025 – TopNotch Research Team
You want to move ₦50M+ in crypto without crashing the market or getting scammed.
Exchanges like Binance charge insane fees and move the price against you.
P2P? Too slow and full of “send first” scammers.
There’s only one real solution: OTC (Over-The-Counter) trading.
What Exactly Is OTC Trading?
OTC is direct, private trading between two parties — no exchange, no public order book, no slippage.
You agree on a price → transfer Naira → receive crypto instantly. Done.
