Coinbase has launched its new over-the-counter (OTC) crypto trading desk for institutional investors.

The platform is a key part of the company’s plan to attract $10 billion of Wall Street capital sitting on the sidelines.

It allows investors with deep pockets to make large trades at a fixed price, which often happens between an investment bank and its clients. As reported by Cheddar, the trading desk currently offers BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, ZRX, BAT and ETH.
