A venue used to accumulate is not necessarily the right venue to realise a position through. The criteria differ.

## First: will they take the deposit and the size

A provider publishing its terms makes a long-term decision checkable, and [a licensed crypto exchange with corporate accounts](https://collectnexchange.cy/services/crypto-exchange) does.

Some venues apply deposit limits that a long-accumulated position exceeds.

Some will not price a sale of that size on the book, which is a depth question rather than a policy one.

Confirm both before moving anything.

## Second: depth in the asset

Sum the resting liquidity within half a percent of mid, at the times you would trade.

If your amount is a large fraction of it, the venue is the wrong tool regardless of its other qualities and a desk quote is the correct route.

## Third: settlement

Which currencies, to which countries, in which account name.

Matching the settlement currency to your bank account removes a conversion margin of typically half a percent to two percent, which on a large sale exceeds every other cost combined. At institutional scale the requirements multiply, which is what [a corporate crypto wallet](https://collectnexchange.cy/business-solutions/corporate-crypto-wallet) is structured for.

## Fourth: the verification tier you hold there

A large sale will exceed the cumulative ceilings that small regular purchases never approached.

Complete the highest tier, including source of funds, before moving the position rather than after.

## Fifth: records

An export containing quantity, timestamp, currency value at the time, the rate source and fees separated.

For a disposal of any size this is the document every subsequent calculation depends on.

## Sixth: authorisation

Which authority, which permissions, verified on the register.

Relevant here mostly for the period the position sits at the venue between deposit and settlement, which for a large sale should be as short as possible.

## The sequence that works

Complete verification. Do a small test deposit and withdrawal. Confirm the settlement route to your bank. Notify your bank. Then move the position and execute.

Each step removes a failure mode that would otherwise appear at the worst moment, and the whole sequence takes about a week of elapsed time with almost no active effort. To see all of this in an operating product rather than in the abstract, [the list of countries covered](https://collectnexchange.cy/company/supported-countries) publishes the terms.
