Five ways to earn with Bitcoin on Binance P2P

  • Determine your profit margin

Before you start trading, you need to set up your profit margin. Observe the market prices and configure your price strategy (floating or fixed) to ensure your profits.

  • Publish a buy and a sale ad and earn with the spread or differential

The difference between the two prices is the spread. Place a sale and a buy ad. The sale ad at a higher price than the buy ad. If both ads are taken successfully, you earn the spread.

  • Create your own local crypto trading business

Buy and sell crypto in your local market at Binance P2P; you can earn from a couple of hundreds to over $5,000 every day. You have the opportunity to post your ad and provide a competitive price that other traders could not resist to buy.  

  • Trade-in an international market

Binance P2P is a global platform supporting more than 30 fiat currencies. You can buy crypto using your local currency, take advantage of a competitive price in your market and sell that crypto in other markets worldwide where people are willing to pay more for the same amount of crypto.

  • Take advantage of multiple payment methods. 

Binance P2P has more than 60 payment methods that you can use. People will often pay a higher price to use a specific payment method that they prefer. You can take advantage of this by buying crypto at a competitive price through a very convenient payment method and then sell it using a less convenient payment method. There will be people willing to pay more just to use that payment method that is harder to find.
