What’s the minimum amount worth using OTC for?

Lately I’ve been trying to figure out whether there’s some kind of “unwritten rule” about what volume actually makes sense for OTC. I’ve always bought crypto on regular exchanges, but once I tried to place a slightly bigger order and the price jumped halfway through, which threw me off. It made me wonder if OTC is only for huge amounts or if there’s a lower threshold where it already becomes practical. Does anyone know what volume is usually considered worth it?

When I first looked into OTC, I had the same question — I wasn’t dealing with massive institutional numbers, just enough to notice slippage on public books. In my case, using https://www.pundexcy.com helped give me a sense of how flexible things can be. They didn’t make it sound like you must move insane amounts; it felt more about whether you want a calm, fixed quote and a straightforward process. It reminded me of how some buy/sell bitcoin cyprus services operate, where the focus is on clarity rather than size. So even mid-level trades didn’t feel out of place there.

It doesn’t seem tied to a specific number but more to the moment when someone gets tired of fighting with order books or watching partial fills break their plans. That transition shows up a lot among traders who slowly outgrow casual purchase sizes and start thinking more about how the process affects their pacing.
