The live winner-takes-all USDT/British Pound P2P recommendation. Real numbers from the UK merchants, no affiliate rankings.
Binance P2P is the world's deepest P2P book — liquidity covers 60+ fiats with the largest merchant pool in crypto. Their merchant-tier scheme rewards completion rate, order count, and dispute-free history; the result is tight spreads and fast settlement on majors (INR, USD, RUB, TRY, NGN).
Bybit P2P is consistently more price-aggressive than Binance — merchants undercut by 0.1-0.4% to win volume, especially on RUB and TRY. Bybit dominated post-sanctions Russia after Binance/OKX exited; deep RUB liquidity is the standout.
Ranked by combined ad volume. The cheapest BUY price (best for buyers) is highlighted; same for the highest SELL price.
