BITmarkets Launches P2P Trading for Direct Crypto Buying and Selling

BITmarkets has launched P2P Trading, giving users a direct and flexible way to buy and sell crypto with other verified traders using supported payment methods.

The new service expands the BITmarkets trading experience by allowing users to choose who they trade with, compare available offers and complete payments directly with one another. Supported payment options can include bank transfers, online payment services, digital wallets and other supported methods.

Every trade is supported by built-in escrow, which holds the seller’s crypto until payment is confirmed, helping provide additional protection throughout the transaction.

At launch, P2P Trading supports USDC, with supported fiat currencies including EUR and USD.

A more flexible way to buy and sell crypto

P2P Trading gives users greater flexibility over how they enter or exit crypto. Instead of relying on a single payment route, users can browse available offers and compare factors such as price, payment method and trader profile before choosing the option that works best for them.

Traders can also create their own offers and set their preferred price and terms, giving them greater control over how they buy or sell.

Applicable fees and trade conditions are displayed before a trade is confirmed, helping users understand the terms before proceeding.

How a P2P trade works

Once a trade begins, the seller’s crypto is placed in escrow. The buyer sends payment using the agreed method, and once the seller confirms receipt of the funds, the crypto is released to the buyer.

Most trades settle within 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the payment method and how quickly both participants complete their side of the transaction.

The process is designed to keep the transaction straightforward while allowing buyers and sellers to agree on the payment method and terms that suit them.

Protection built into every trade

Every BITmarkets P2P participant must complete KYC verification before trading. Trader profiles also provide information such as completion rates, response times and feedback, giving users more context when deciding who to trade with.

During an active order, built-in chat allows buyers and sellers to communicate directly within the platform. This keeps important trade communication in one place and provides a clear record of the transaction.

If a dispute arises, the BITmarkets support team can review the case using payment evidence, chat records and transaction history.

Built for different ways of trading

For newcomers, P2P Trading provides a straightforward way to trade directly with verified users using supported payment methods. Everyday users can compare offers based on price, convenience and payment preference, while active traders can create their own offers, set their terms and move regularly between buying and selling.

That flexibility sits at the core of the P2P experience, giving users the freedom to choose the offers and payment options that suit them while BITmarkets provides the trading environment, built-in escrow and support throughout the transaction.
