On a P2P marketplace you trade with another person rather than the platform. The platform's job is to connect you and hold the crypto in escrow until the payment is settled.
Your first trade
- Pick an offer. Compare price, limits and payment methods, and check the trader's completion rate.
- Open the order. The seller's crypto locks in escrow automatically.
- Pay. Send the exact amount from an account in your own name, using the details in the order.
- Mark as paid. Only do this once the money has actually left your account.
- Receive. The seller confirms the payment and the crypto lands in your wallet.
Start small
