Everything you Need to Know about a P2P Crypto Exchange

Peer-to-peer exchange (also known as P2P exchange) came in as a solution to all the technical failures, cyber-attacks, and theft to centralized exchanges. It is a decentralized form of exchange where all the transactions are maintained and operated without any third-party involvement. A P2P exchange allows two parties to directly meet and exchange their financial needs without the intermediation of any third party.

Working of P2P crypto exchange

A P2P crypto exchange platform runs as a cryptocurrency exchange software but does not rely on third-party services to drive transactions between users. It matches traders behind the buy and sell orders instead of just matching the orders. There is a pre-programmed set of instructions that are carried out automatically without the intermediation of any middleman. It is only in the case of a dispute that an arbitrator comes into action to resolve it.
