If you are buying or selling crypto with cash in Hong Kong for the first time, the key is not only speed. You need a clear location, a clear quote, a clear wallet-address check and a clear in-store process.
This is Funshell's main Hong Kong OTC topic guide. Start here, then continue with the related articles and service pages below.
What is crypto OTC?
OTC means over the counter. Instead of placing an anonymous order on an exchange order book, the customer confirms trade details with staff and completes the process face to face or through a managed service workflow.
Common Hong Kong OTC use cases include:
- buying BTC / ETH with cash in store
- selling BTC / ETH for HKD cash
- asking for a larger quote before visiting
- checking wallet addresses with staff
- getting basic self-custody or cold-wallet guidance

Funshell in-store workflow
- Check the spot-rate page or ask on WhatsApp.
- Choose the Causeway Bay or Mong Kok branch; for larger trades, book ahead.
- Confirm the asset, direction, amount, network and wallet address in store.
- Staff confirm the final quote based on live market conditions and trade details.
- Complete cash and on-chain settlement only after both sides confirm.
Do not trade using wallet addresses supplied by third-party investment groups, strangers, fake support accounts or unknown apps. Confirm your own wallet address and trade purpose before settlement.
