# Private OTC Settlement

Enables **anonymous OTC transactions** between institutions or high-net-worth individuals, protecting trading strategies and portfolio allocations.

Through Singularity, the buyer and the seller can settle their OTC trades without counterparty risk or an on-chain footprint.

This is a non-custodial solution without the need for a third-party escrow service.

* Users agree the price and terms offline, then settle atomically via Singularity with full transaction confidentiality.
* No transaction data (asset, price, amount) can be seen on explorers or on-chain.

**Benefits:**

* Secures trading strategies and token allocations
* Prevents market impact from on-chain visibility
* Maintains regulatory compliance without revealing sensitive information

**Example:**\
An investment fund wants to sell a large amount of tokens to another investor without affecting market prices. The transaction is executed **off-chain** but can settle on-chain if necessary, remaining **anonymous**.
