P2P Trading
Direct crypto purchase from users — without exchange intermediary.
P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading is the direct exchange of cryptocurrencies between users, without an exchange intermediary setting prices. Exchanges like Binance P2P and OKX P2P serve as platforms and guarantee safety through an escrow system.
How it works: 1. Buyer selects seller (by price, payment method) 2. Exchange locks seller's crypto in escrow 3. Buyer sends fiat payment (bank transfer, PayPal, cash) 4. Seller confirms receipt, exchange releases crypto to buyer
P2P advantages:
•No fiat deposit fees
•Payment via local method (bank transfer, cash)
•Accepting local currency directly
•Anonymity (some sellers don't require KYC for small amounts)
Region tip: Binance P2P is the most popular option for buying crypto with local currency in the Balkans.
