Two terms that often get conflated. They serve different purposes.
Bitcoin OTC Trading
OTC (over-the-counter) trading is for buying or selling large amounts of Bitcoin — typically $50,000+ — without going through a public exchange. Large trades on exchanges cause price slippage. An OTC desk matches you directly with a counterparty at better pricing.
1Bitcoin.ca offers OTC services for large Bitcoin buyers and sellers in Canada. FINTRAC-registered, non-custodial.
Bitcoin-Backed Lending
You are not selling your Bitcoin. You pledge it as collateral to borrow Canadian dollars. You keep your Bitcoin exposure. You repay and reclaim your Bitcoin.
This is what DWM Canada does.
