P2P Trading
P2P trading is the act of buying and selling cryptocurrencies directly between users, without any third party or intermediary. When you buy or sell cryptocurrencies using a traditional exchange, you don't get to transact directly with the counterparty. Instead, you use charts and other market aggregators to determine the optimal time to buy, sell, or hold cryptocurrencies. The exchange organizes the transaction on your behalf, and the market price determines your final price at the time of the transaction.
P2P trading gives you more control over who buys your cryptocurrencies and who you buy from, the pricing, and settlement time. While P2P trading gives users finer control over the process, it is vital to note that peer-to-peer transactions carry some risks when there is no third party to broker the deal. This is where an exchange like LYOTRADE P2P becomes essential for risk-conscious users.
There are many ways to trade cryptocurrencies. The most common practice is to use centralized exchanges like LYOTRADE.com and buy or sell crypto at certain price points against another cryptocurrency or a local currency supported on the platform. Alternatively, you can transact with your fellow crypto holders and swap your assets without needing to track charts and orders.
Among the many P2P solutions offered across the crypto market, the LYOTRADE P2P Bitcoin exchange offers several competitive features and benefits:
While traditional cryptocurrency exchanges attract a fixed fee or percentage per trade, LYOTRADE P2P allows traders to connect and perform transactions with zero fees. Not all P2P exchanges offer this feature, so be sure to check the terms and conditions when choosing a peer-to-peer exchange. You don’t have to worry about that when it comes to LYOTRADE P2P, You get what you pay for, with zero fees.
When you trade on traditional exchanges, you may not get as many payment options compared to P2P exchanges like LYOTRADE. LYOTRADE has many payment methods available, you can choose your favorite way to send or receive money for your trades either by Bank Transfer or WorldRemit.
3. Escrow Service
As stated above, LYOTRADE has an escrow service to protect buyers and sellers. LYOTRADE P2P has a holding mechanism for crypto funds that are involved in any pending transaction. This mechanism prevents incidents of theft or scam by adding another layer of trust, thus preventing malicious actors from stealing your money or crypto without completing their part of the trade. When opting to secure a transaction with escrow, funds are held by LYOTRADE and only released when the terms of the deal are met by both parties involved. LYOTRADE P2P transactions must be completed within a certain timeframe: If either party cannot meet the terms of the deal, the cryptocurrencies or fiat will be returned to your wallet.
4. High Liquidity
As the official P2P channel exchange platform with higher trading volume, LYOTRADE P2P was able to secure large volumes for both buy and sell transactions. The platform has already processed many transactions, which indicates a high level of liquidity.
5. Integration with the LYOTRADE Ecosystem
LYOTRADE P2P’s benefits extend beyond trading. As a major feature of the LYOTRADE ecosystem of services, you get direct access to LYOTRADE’s products and services as soon as you buy crypto via P2P. Most of the other P2P platforms operate separately from major exchanges and crypto services.

As a global platform, LYOTRADE is always on the lookout for opportunities to grow LYOTRADE P2P and make it available in as many areas in the world as possible. This will increase the trading volume and add more trading opportunities for P2P traders for easy trading.
1. Slower Trading Speeds
While P2P transactions can be conducted near-instantly once both parties have confirmed the transaction, one party might delay the transaction for various reasons. With traditional trading, you don't need to wait for the buyer or seller to confirm before you can move on from the transaction. With P2P, the buyer or seller can change their minds halfway through the transaction and decide to end it.
2. Low Liquidity
P2P exchanges are still relatively new and have lower liquidity than centralized exchanges. For this reason, larger traders who need to complete major transactions may prefer to use OTC (over-the-counter) trades or buy/sell using the standard exchange.
