I'm curious to understand the key differences between a Stock Exchange and an Over-The-Counter (OTC) market. Can you explain the primary distinctions in terms of trading mechanisms, liquidity, regulations, and the types of securities traded in each? I'm also interested in knowing how investors and traders benefit or face challenges in either of these markets.

These exchanges not only facilitate trading but also help to establish a market price for cryptocurrencies. The trading activity on exchanges creates a more liquid market and can drive up prices as demand increases.

Cryptocurrencies, unlike traditional securities, often trade over-the-counter (OTC) with less liquidity and price transparency. However, the increasing popularity of cryptocurrency exchanges has led to greater accessibility and trading volumes.

Companies seeking to list their securities on a stock exchange undergo a rigorous process to meet financial and listing requirements. These requirements vary depending on the exchange and are designed to protect investors and maintain market integrity.

Similarly, cryptocurrency exchanges have their own listing requirements for digital assets. These requirements may include factors such as market capitalization, trading volume, and technical security measures.
