USDT OTC pricing in the UAE: spreads, minimums, timing

One all-in spread by ticket size, 0.40% down to 0.08% for selling and 0.40% down to 0.15% for buying. No separate commission and nothing deducted at settlement: the quote you accept is the amount that reaches your account. Tickets start around 100,000 USDT.

Selling USDT for AED or USD

You send USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20) to your personal deposit address in the client portal; the desk pays AED or USD to a bank account in your own name.

Cost is shown on the smallest ticket in each band. Larger tickets price inside the band. Below about 100,000 USDT ask a dealer anyway: we will say plainly whether the desk is the right place for it, and an exchange is often cheaper for a small ticket.

Buying USDT with a bank wire

You send AED or USD from an account in your own name; the desk sends USDT to your whitelisted wallet. Buying is priced the same as selling up to 500,000 USDT and a little wider above it, because the desk has to source the coin.

Ticket size in USDT whichever currency you send. Above 10 million the dealer prices against the liquidity of the day.

What the spread includes

• The hedge: the desk covers your size in the market before it quotes, and that cost is inside the spread.
• Settlement: the outgoing bank transfer or the outgoing USDT transfer, including network fees on our side.
• The named dealer, the contract note and the trade confirmation in the portal.

Not included: your own bank's charges for receiving a transfer, and any conversion your bank applies if the account is not in the payout currency.

Settlement rails and timing

Firm quote from a dealer within the hour, around the clock, Sunday to Thursday 09:00 to 18:00 GST. A quote is valid for a set window shown in the portal; nothing moves until you accept it.

Where the reference price comes from

The quote starts from a mid price on the venues where the desk actually hedges, not from a single screen. For AED the central bank peg of 3.6725 dirhams per dollar applies to the USD leg. The spread widens with what it costs to hedge your size in the prevailing order book and narrows as size grows relative to that cost, which is why large tickets price better.
