What does USDT/MXN P2P trading look like?
USDT (Tether) is the world's largest stablecoin by trading volume, designed to hold a 1:1 peg to the US Dollar. In Mexico, P2P exchanges allow individuals to buy and sell USDT directly with each other using local payment rails, with the exchange acting only as escrow. The result is a real-money price for the dollar that often differs from the official forex rate.
The table above shows every exchange we track that has active USDT/MXN liquidity, ranked by trading volume. The Buy column is the cheapest price you can buy USDT for $right now; the Sell column is the highest price you can receive when selling USDT. The spread between them is your arbitrage opportunity (or your spread cost if you're trading both sides).
Why USDT trades the way it does in Mexico
Typical premium: ~1% over forex. MXN/USDT trades close to the MXN/USD interbank rate; small premium reflects merchant spread + 16% IVA on transaction fees.
Tax: Crypto gains taxed under SAT rules as ordinary income (1.92-35% slabs). 16% IVA may apply on certain transaction fees. No specific crypto-asset capital gains regime as of 2026.
Regulator: CNBV (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) regulates fintechs under the 2018 Ley Fintech, including crypto operators. Banco de México restricted bank integration with crypto in 2021 but trading remains legal.

Once the merchant releases the USDT from escrow, it lands in your spot wallet. For BUY trades you can transfer it elsewhere; for SELL trades the fiat is now in your bank account. Save the trade receipt for tax records.
