General TradingP
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
Describes the sharing of data or assets between 2 or more parties without any central authority making the transaction happen. P2P exchanges tend to offer transactions that are censorship resistant, cheap, private, and secure
Example
“A Bitcoin holder sells 0.5 BTC directly to another user through a P2P platform like Bisq, with no exchange acting as an intermediary.”
