What is P2P in crypto?

Last reviewed:

P2P, or peer-to-peer, crypto means trading or sending crypto directly between two people, without a company in the middle holding the funds. Some services match buyers and sellers but leave the deal to them. P2P can be fast and flexible, but scams are common, such as fake payment proofs or reversed bank transfers.
