As of · methodology
What does USDT/MYR 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 Malaysia, 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/MYR liquidity, ranked by trading volume. The Buy column is the cheapest price you can buy USDT for RMright 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 Malaysia
Typical premium: ~1% over forex. MYR/USDT trades 0.5-2% above MYR/USD interbank; premium reflects merchant spread + small cross-border remittance demand.
Tax: No specific crypto capital gains tax. Crypto trading by individuals is generally untaxed unless classified as a business activity (then subject to 0-30% income tax slabs).
Regulator: Securities Commission Malaysia regulates crypto exchanges as Recognised Market Operators (RMO). ~5 RMO-licensed Malaysian exchanges operate (Luno, Tokenize, MX Global, etc).
