How to use this winner data
- Identify your side.Buying USDT? Pick the cheapest-BUY winner. Selling USDT? Pick the highest-SELL winner. They're often different exchanges.
- Click into the merchant. The headline price is TOP1 — the next ad may be 0.1-0.5% worse. For larger trade size, scan the top few ads on the per-exchange page.
- Verify completion rate ≥98%.No matter how cheap, never trade with a merchant under 95% completion or with fewer than 1,000 orders. The biggest risk on P2P isn't price — it's the rare bad merchant.
- Use the right payment rail. In Egypt, InstaPay is dominant. CBE's instant-payment rail (launched 2022); growing share in retail P2P despite the formal ban.
Frequently asked questions

Why is this exchange the cheapest for USDT/EGP?+
BingX BingX P2P is a relatively new entrant — often hosts the cheapest BUY-side price when merchants run promotional spreads. Smaller liquidity than the top 3, but worth checking on price-sensitive trades. The "cheapest BUY" status is live — it can change minute by minute as merchants reprice. The page refreshes every 5 minutes.
Is USDT trading legal in Egypt?+
Technically no. The Central Bank of Egypt prohibited crypto trading and mining in 2018; Dar al-Ifta (Egypt's official Islamic legal authority) issued a fatwa against crypto in 2018. However, no enforcement actions against retail users have been recorded, and P2P trading remains active and visible.
Why is the USDT/EGP premium so high?+
Egypt has a chronic dollar shortage and strict FX controls — the official CBE USD rate often diverges from the parallel/black-market rate by 30-50%. USDT becomes a regulated middle-path: more accessible than black-market USD but at a 7-12% premium over the official rate.
Are these recommendations affiliate-influenced?+
No. OpenRate doesn't have referral deals with any of the 9 exchanges we track. The "best" winner is purely whoever has the cheapest live BUY (or highest SELL) price right now, no rankings adjustment, no editorial weighting.
