  Off-market crypto trading, also known as over-the-counter (OTC) trading, involves direct transactions between two parties without the involvement of an exchange. It is typically used for large trades and offers more privacy and flexibility compared to on-market trading. The prices in off-market trading are negotiated between the buyer and seller, which can lead to better pricing for both parties. However, off-market trading may have lower liquidity compared to on-market trading, as the trades are not visible on the order book of an exchange.

  On-market crypto trading refers to trading cryptocurrencies on an exchange's order book, where buy and sell orders are matched automatically. It offers higher liquidity and transparency compared to off-market trading. The prices in on-market trading are determined by the supply and demand on the exchange, which can result in more competitive pricing. Additionally, on-market trading allows traders to take advantage of various order types and trading tools provided by the exchange.
