Choosing P2P Exchanges for Ukraine

Ukrainian citizens are among the most active cryptocurrency users in the world. Ukrainians invest in crypto assets, engage in trading, and make crypto transfers. After the onset of military actions in the country, the government restricted the purchase of cryptocurrency with cards from national banks. Therefore, users rely on cash and cards from foreign banks. One of the most convenient ways to buy cryptocurrency is through P2P exchanges for Ukraine. These platforms offer favorable rates and over a hundred payment methods for orders.

Criteria for Choosing a P2P Exchange

The main parameter to pay attention to when choosing is security. Profinvestment experts recommend trading on major platforms with high liquidity and a good security system. The exchange should support two-factor authentication and a whitelist of IP addresses. Other criteria include:

• Convenient payment methods for orders.
• An easy-to-use interface in the national language (or English).
• Good customer support.
• A seller rating system. This will help you choose a reliable counterparty.
• The presence of escrow accounts. These block cryptocurrency during the transaction. If something goes wrong, the funds will be returned.

Best P2P Platforms for Ukraine

P2P platforms allow you to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins for national currencies. Here, the counterparty is a real user, not a service. Therefore, P2P exchanges offer the most favorable exchange rates. It is safest to trade on large global platforms that support the hryvnia. Such exchanges have high liquidity and good customer support. In case of problems, users can contact arbitration and get their money back.

To start working on a P2P exchange, you need to create and verify an account. Then you should go to the Transactions/P2P section and choose a reliable counterparty. The criteria are as follows:

• Merchant.
• Order completion rate - over 98%.
• Rating - from 4.5.
• Payment window - no more than 30 minutes, preferably 5-15 minutes.
• Convenient method of payment for orders.

On all platforms, you can buy BTC, USDT. Some (Gate, MEXC, Bitget) also offer other cryptocurrencies - Tron, EOS, Dogecoin. P2P platforms support payments with cards from any bank, electronic payment systems, or cash (when a counterparty is available). Users can choose hryvnia, dollars, euros, and other fiat currencies. Coins will be credited to the internal balance of the exchange immediately after the order is executed. Users can use them for trading, investing, or send them to an external wallet. On P2P exchanges that operate on traditional crypto exchanges, passive income tools are available - deposits, staking, dual-currency investments, and lending. They allow you to earn up to 20% annual income in cryptocurrency.

In 2024, the following P2P platforms are popular:
