What is P2P trading and how does it work?
Feb 06, 2026
P2P trading means buying and selling cryptocurrency directly between users on the platform.
Depending on the role in a trade, users may need to deposit cryptocurrency to their wallet in advance — for example, before creating a sell offer. Fiat transfers always take place directly between users outside the platform, while the platform facilitates the process and ensures that the exchange follows the agreed terms.
How P2P Trading Works on the Platform
P2P trading is built around offers created by users. The platform provides tools to create, manage, and safely complete these trades.
- Any user can create sell offers to sell cryptocurrency or buy offers to purchase cryptocurrency from other users.
- When creating an offer, the user independently sets all trade conditions, such as price, amount, payment methods, and time limits.
- Once published, the offer becomes visible in the general list and can be accepted by other users.
- Users interested in buying or selling cryptocurrency browse available offers, select one that meets their conditions, open a trade, and initiate the exchange process within the platform.
- Fiat payments are transferred directly between users via the selected payment method.
- To ensure trade safety, cryptocurrency involved in a sell offer is locked in escrow during the transaction and released only after payment confirmation.
- The platform monitors the process and provides dispute resolution if something goes wrong.
Example
- You want to buy 100 USDT with your local currency.
- You find a seller offering a rate that suits you.
- You click Buy, send the equivalent amount in your national currency to the seller’s payment account, and mark the payment as completed.
- The seller checks the account, confirms receipt, and releases 100 USDT to your wallet.
Our Recommendations for Safe Trading
- Double-check payment details before sending funds.
- Never confirm payment before you’ve actually sent it.
- Keep all communication related to the trade within the platform to ensure proper support if needed.
