P2P Trading
P2P crypto trading cuts out the exchange middleman. You trade directly with another person – fiat for crypto, crypto for fiat – using the platform's escrow to hold funds until both sides confirm. Deep liquidity, matching payment methods, and rare disputes make it work. Thin order books, unclear escrow rules, or counterparties who ghost after "I paid" make it messy.
This category covers tested reviews of P2P platforms: Binance P2P, Remitano, Paxful alternatives, and regional options. We compare escrow protection (release rules, dispute handling, fund locks), liquidity (order depth, spread size, trade limits), fees (maker/taker splits, currency conversion costs), payment methods (bank transfers, cards, mobile money by region), verification requirements (KYC friction, trading limits before and after verification), and platform performance during disputes.
You'll find comparisons, safety checklists, and updates when platforms change fee structures or exit jurisdictions. We test as both buyers and sellers – placing orders, completing trades, testing escrow, and simulating disputes.
