A leading OTC desk in digital assets
A dependable, efficient way to access liquidity through OTC supply and demand across global crypto markets.
Who we are
At SBZ, our goal is to give every investor a dependable, efficient way to access liquidity from OTC supply and demand across global crypto markets. As a crypto-native company, we were founded by traders, developers and entrepreneurs who are passionate advocates for decentralisation and the future of digital assets.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of operational and legal governance, with transparency, trust and commitment to our clients at the centre of everything we do. Our team of industry professionals is here to guide you through the complexities of the digital asset ecosystem.
The desk in numbers
Protecting your funds is our #1 priority
No commingling of client funds. We keep your assets 100% separate from our own.
1:1 reserves
We maintain a full 1:1 reserve of all client fiat and digital assets. Any client assets we hold during settlement are kept in secure offline cold storage, protected with maximum security.
Segregated funds
We do not commingle client funds. Every client’s assets are fully segregated, so when you want to make a withdrawal, you can. Keeping your assets safe is our pledge.
Independently reviewed
Our books are balanced and we carry no debt on our balance sheet. Our holdings and financial statements are reviewed independently, so what we tell you can be checked.
Single-purpose use
We never lend, borrow against or rehypothecate client assets. Your assets are used solely to complete your transactions with us.
Why trade with SBZ
What you get from a dedicated OTC desk that an exchange can’t offer.
Increased privacy
OTC orders are never visible on, or reported to, the open market. Your trade won’t signal your intentions or move the price away from you.
Reduced slippage
Lock in your whole order, whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or stablecoins, at one agreed price instead of watching it fill at worse and worse levels.
Deep global liquidity
From USD 100,000 to USD 25 million, we execute your order through a network of six leading global liquidity providers.
Market insights
Our seasoned traders share the reporting and market colour that global institutional investors value. SBZ does not provide financial advice.
Professional traders
You get direct access to our experienced traders at every step, from onboarding through to trade and settlement.
White-glove service
End-to-end support from your first consultation to execution, 24/7. We answer every question along the way, because trust is built one trade at a time.
Our mission
To guide clients through the digital asset ecosystem with trust and transparency, backed by a team that holds itself to the highest standards.
Crypto can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be. Our client service team has handled clients’ crypto transactions since 2018, and we hold ourselves to a demanding standard on every one of them.
With SBZ, you work with genuine digital asset experts. Beyond our experience in crypto, our team brings more than 25 years of experience in trading, brokering and administering sophisticated financial markets.
You always deal with a real person. We never rely on anonymous customer service bots.
We serve clients worldwide, and privacy is at the heart of how we work.

Your keys, your assets
SBZ does not custody digital assets after purchase and payment by you. We deliver digital assets to you, and our experts can help you set up your own secure storage and best practices.
We teach you how to be your own bank.
Compliance
Every client completes onboarding before trading: KYC for individuals and KYB for companies. Fiat can only be sent to or received from a bank account held in the same name as the client’s SBZ account.
SBZ is an exempted company limited by shares domiciled in the Seychelles. Our anti-money-laundering measures are set out in our AML policy.
