  In OTC trading, transactions are conducted directly between two parties, without the involvement of an exchange. This allows for greater privacy and flexibility in terms of pricing and negotiation. On the other hand, regular exchange trading takes place on a centralized platform where buyers and sellers trade with each other based on the exchange's order book. This provides more liquidity and transparency, but may also result in higher fees and less control over the trading process.

  OTC trading is often preferred by institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who require large trade sizes and customized terms. It allows them to execute large orders without causing significant price movements in the market. Regular exchange trading, on the other hand, is more suitable for retail investors and traders who prefer to trade smaller amounts and take advantage of the liquidity and price discovery provided by the exchange.
