Never bought crypto before? No problem. Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is the easiest way to get started — you buy directly from another person, pay with a method you already use, and the whole process takes less than 20 minutes. This guide walks you through everything: what P2P is, how to buy USDT step by step, how to stay safe, and how to move your crypto into your BetFun24 account.
What Is P2P Crypto Trading?
P2P stands for peer-to-peer. Instead of buying crypto from an exchange at a fixed price, you trade directly with other people through a marketplace. Sellers post offers, you pick one, and the platform acts as a middleman to keep both sides safe.
The three biggest P2P platforms are:
- Binance P2P — the largest marketplace with the most sellers and the widest range of payment methods
- Bybit P2P — growing fast, known for competitive rates and a clean interface
- OKX P2P — solid alternative with strong security features and good liquidity
All three let you buy USDT (a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar) using local payment methods — bank transfers, mobile payments, or cash. No complicated wire transfers, no banking fees.
How to Buy USDT via P2P: Step by Step
Here is exactly how to go from zero crypto to USDT in your wallet.
Step 1 — Create an Account on a P2P Platform
Sign up on Binance, Bybit, or OKX. You will need an email and phone number. Basic verification is quick — often just a selfie and an ID scan.
Step 2 — Navigate to the P2P Section
Once logged in, find the “P2P Trading” section. Select USDT as the crypto to buy, then choose your local currency and payment method.
Step 3 — Choose a Verified Seller
This is the most important step. Look for sellers with:
- 95%+ completion rate — they almost always finish trades
- 500+ completed orders — experienced and reliable
- A verified badge — the platform has confirmed their identity
- A price close to the market rate — avoid sellers charging more than 2-3% above spot price
Step 4 — Place Your Order and Pay
Enter the amount of USDT you want to buy (or the amount in your local currency you want to spend). Confirm the order. The seller’s USDT is now locked in escrow — the platform holds it until you pay and the seller confirms.
Pay the seller using the method shown on the order page. Follow the instructions exactly. Never send money outside the platform — no WhatsApp payments, no direct transfers to “another account.”
Step 5 — Receive Your USDT
After you mark the payment as completed, the seller verifies it on their end. Once confirmed, the USDT is released from escrow directly into your platform wallet. This usually takes 5-15 minutes.
Step 6 — Withdraw USDT to BetFun24
Now you have USDT. Time to move it to BetFun24:
- Log into your BetFun24 account and go to the deposit page
- Select USDT TRC-20 and copy the deposit address
- Go back to your P2P platform, open the withdrawal page
- Paste the BetFun24 address, select the TRC-20 network (this is critical — using the wrong network means lost funds)
- Confirm the withdrawal
TRC-20 transfers typically cost under $1 in fees and arrive within 2-5 minutes. Once confirmed on the blockchain, your CR balance on BetFun24 updates automatically.

Why P2P Is the Best Option for Beginners
Pay with what you already have. Bank transfer, mobile money, online wallets — P2P platforms support dozens of local payment methods. No international transfers, no currency conversion headaches.
Low fees. Most P2P platforms charge zero trading fees for buyers. The only cost is the seller’s markup (1-3% above market) and the TRC-20 withdrawal fee (under $1).
Fast. From placing an order to USDT in your wallet: 10-20 minutes on average.
Accessible. P2P works wherever you are. Local payment method + internet connection = you can buy crypto.
Staying Safe: P2P Security Essentials
P2P is safe when you follow the rules. Here is what to always do — and what to never do.
Always use escrow. When you place an order, the seller’s USDT is locked by the platform until you pay. Never trade outside escrow — if someone asks you to send money directly, it is a scam.
Only trade with verified sellers. Look for the verification badge, high completion rates, and 500+ completed trades. A seller with 2,000 orders and a 99% rate is far safer than someone with 5 trades.
Never pay outside the platform. If a seller asks you to pay via a different method than shown on the order, cancel immediately and report them.
Keep proof of every payment. Screenshot your bank transfer confirmation — this is how you win disputes.
Start small. Your first P2P trade should be a small amount. Once comfortable, scale up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum amount I can buy via P2P?
Most P2P platforms let you buy as little as $10-20 of USDT. On BetFun24, TRC-20 deposits start at 10 USDT, which converts directly to CR in your account.
Which network should I use to deposit on BetFun24?
Always use TRC-20 (Tron network). It is the fastest (2-5 min) and cheapest (under $1 fee). Avoid ERC-20 for small amounts — Ethereum fees run $5-15.
Is P2P trading safe?
Yes, on established platforms like Binance, Bybit, or OKX. Their escrow locks the seller’s crypto until you pay. Never trade outside the platform.
What if the seller does not release my USDT?
Open a dispute and provide your payment screenshot. The platform typically resolves it within 24-48 hours.
Can I deposit other cryptocurrencies on BetFun24?
Yes — BTC, ETH, and more are accepted. But USDT on TRC-20 is best for beginners: no price volatility, lowest fees, fastest transfer. See all options on the payment methods page.
