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.
