A basic difference between OTC trading and exchange trading is that trading on the exchange takes place anonymously and the counterparty risk is managed by the exchange, i.e. the exchange – or its clearing house - guarantees that the other side of the transaction performs to its obligations.
OTC and Exchange gas hubs trading: OTC is the favored trading method

Spot products are mainly used for physical portfolio optimization close to delivery, short-term price
arbitrage and/or balancing purposes. Other products not only assist the supply portfolio and risk
hedging over the prompt horizon, but also tend to attract most of the speculative trading as these
products tend to be more price-volatile as well as offer a good number of counterparties.
