What is P2P Trading?

P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer trading, which means you trade directly with another user without a middleman.

There is no automated market price, the buyer and seller agree on an individual price.

It is the opposite of spot trading where you trade against the market. It is available for crypto to fiat and crypto to crypto.

How does Binance P2P work?

With P2P trading Binance acts as an escrow, meaning it holds the crypto until the payment is confirmed.

The buyer and seller agree on a payment method.

The seller transfers the crypto to Binance escrow.

The buyer then pays the agreed amount and Binance confirms the payment and releases the crypto.

This method is secure because Binance acts as a neutral party.
