The live winner-takes-all USDT/Mexican Peso P2P recommendation. Real numbers from Mexico merchants, no affiliate rankings.
MEXC is the smallest of the major P2P venues. Liquidity is rarely sufficient for >$100K trades, but it's a useful tertiary pricing reference and occasionally hosts the cheapest BUY-side price during low-activity periods.
HTX (formerly Huobi) runs a smaller P2P market than the top 3 but absorbed Russian volume after the Bybit/Binance bifurcation. Spreads can widen during off-peak hours, making it a useful arbitrage venue.
Ranked by combined ad volume. The cheapest BUY price (best for buyers) is highlighted; same for the highest SELL price.

Yes. The 2018 Ley Fintech provides a regulatory framework for crypto operators; CNBV authorises fintechs. Banco de México restricted direct bank integration with crypto in 2021, but P2P trading remains legal and active. Trading platforms must register with CNBV.
SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria) treats crypto gains as ordinary income, taxed at 1.92-35% personal income slabs. Mexico has no dedicated crypto capital gains regime as of 2026; the 16% IVA may apply on transaction fees but typically not on crypto principal.
