Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Trading

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrency peer-to-peer without the involvement of central intermediates such as a bank or clearinghouse. Binance P2P, LocalBitcoins, and Paxful, among other online P2P trading platforms, offer a marketplace where buyers and sellers can meet, negotiate, and transact securely.

P2P trading platform features include acting as facilitators between buyers and sellers to make secured escrow services for trades. The process usually interests the buyer and seller agreeing on the price, the buyer transferring the funds through payment, and then releasing the cryptocurrency from the escrow account by the platform after ensuring the payment. Payment methods typically are diverse across the board from bank transfers to PayPal, cash payment, etc., to facilitate the different needs of customers.

Pros

P2P trading flexibly suits such plans with regard to price and payment methods. The main advantage of P2P is that it can be used in countries where centralized exchanges are inaccessible, such as through stringent limitations or, in fact, almost entirely unsupported local payment systems. Besides, P2P trading is usually less expensive than going to an actual exchange since it usually involves a more direct transaction by the users.

Cons

In addition to all these advantages, there are also some disadvantages of P2P trading. Such disadvantages can also include instant liquidity to say it cause delays. Meanwhile, a person may go through fraud cases or many disputes. Even, these threats are reduced somehow due to escrow services. But it does not eliminate. Moreover, this kind of trading is time-consuming and painstaking compared to trading automated centralized trading on all proved principles within automation.

P2P trading gives users power and financial inclusion and thus remains a keystone option for cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide.
