What is P2P?
Exchange cryptocurrencies and cash directly with other people.
No banks. No mandatory KYC. No limits.
Quick Definition
P2P (Peer-to-Peer) means "person to person". It's the oldest and most direct way to exchange value: you give me euros, I give you Bitcoin. No banks, no financial intermediaries, no unnecessary questions.
The escrow system protects both parties: it can be a P2P platform, or a trusted intermediary like us who ensures the exchange is completed correctly.
Two Directions
P2P works both ways depending on what you need
Fiat → Crypto
Convert your traditional money (EUR, USD) into cryptocurrencies (BTC, USDT, ETH...)
Crypto → Fiat
Convert your cryptocurrencies back to traditional money in your account or cash.
What Is It Really Used For?
The real use cases nobody tells you about
Remittances Spain ↔ Latin America
The most active corridor. Send euros to Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina... in minutes with better exchange rates than Western Union or banks.
Tax Optimization
Move wealth between jurisdictions efficiently. Legal tax avoidance using the advantages of cryptocurrencies.
Financial Privacy
Transactions without bank trail. Without your bank knowing what you do with YOUR money. No blocks, no questions.
Convert Cash
You have cash and need crypto (or vice versa). Without going through the bank, no KYC, no €10,000 limits.
Move Money Between Countries
Traveling with €50K in cash? Better convert to crypto, travel, and reconvert at destination. Legal and safe.
Avoid Bank Restrictions
Your bank blocks transfers to exchanges? With P2P you buy crypto directly from another person, no intermediaries.

Avoidance vs Evasion
Understanding the difference is crucial
✓ Tax Avoidance (Legal)
Optimizing your tax situation using available legal tools. Using crypto to move value between jurisdictions, taking advantage of different tax treatments, deferring taxes... All perfectly legal if done correctly.
✗ Tax Evasion (Illegal)
Hiding income or assets from tax authorities. Not declaring gains you legally must declare. This is a crime and authorities have increasing tools to detect it.
What about cash P2P?
Cash P2P transactions leave no bank trail, but that doesn't make them illegal. What matters is intent and compliance with your tax obligations based on your personal situation.
Everyone has a different tax situation. What's legal for a non-resident may not be for a resident. Consult a crypto-specialized tax advisor.
