OTC Markets

OTC Markets are decentralized trading venues where securities such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives are exchanged directly between parties, rather than through a centralized exchange like the NYSE or Nasdaq. These markets often cater to smaller companies, foreign issuers, and niche financial instruments. Investors monitor OTC Markets for opportunities in less-regulated securities, though they may carry higher risks due to lower liquidity and transparency.
