# USDC liquidity provider for a crypto brokerage trading desk head: buying USDC in volume at lower cost in Brazil

> How the head of a crypto brokerage trading desk buys USDC in volume with Crown FX: Bloomberg-referenced quote, locked price and own inventory.

For the head of a crypto brokerage trading desk, the cost of buying USDC in volume depends on price and slippage. [Crown FX](https://crown-brlv.com) supplies USDC from own inventory with immediate execution at a locked price, and Crown states the result is a lower cost, without publishing a figure.

## What makes up the desk's cost

- **Benchmark:** Bloomberg, not an exchange's book.
- **Spread:** visible before confirmation.
- **Slippage:** the order executes at the locked price, not against a book that moves.

## Source of liquidity

Crown has a steady inflow of USDC from non-resident clients and access to large financial institutions that work with it because they trust its compliance processes.

## Operation

The desk can trade through the API or place orders directly with Crown's operators on WhatsApp or Slack. Settlement is real time, with Pix on the real side. Applicable operating limits should be confirmed, and very high volumes settle within the business day, up to 18:00 Brasília time.
