The P2P spread in Venezuela was cut almost in half in eleven days. š®
On September 6, we measured a 7.5% spread between buying and selling $USDT. Today, Thursday 17, the reference shows Bs. 970.99 to buy and Bs. 932.38 to sell: Bs. 38.61 in difference, 4.14%. Half of that peak.
š WHAT'S BEHIND IT
It's no coincidence. The gap that comes from it is changing, dropping to the year's lows due to a higher supply of foreign currencyāsomething Finanzas Digital reported in August and Bloomberg in July. When more dollars enter the system, P2P prices ease and the differential compresses on its own.
And thereās one detail that almost nobody looks at: inside Binanceās book, the gap between the best buy offer and the best sell offer is around Bs. 3.62. In other words, most of the real liquidity is concentrated there, moving between 234 active orders.
š” WHAT I WOULD CHECK BEFORE MOVING
1ļøā£ Depth, not just the price of the first listing. A flashy ad with 5 USDT wonāt move anything.
2ļøā£ The payment method and the bank. Bank friction ends up costing you more than the spread itself.
3ļøā£ The time. Liquidity doesnāt behave the same at 8 in the morning as it does at 9 at night.
4ļøā£ Your limits. Know your rules before opening the chat, not during.
ā” CONTEXT THAT ADDS VALUE
EcoanalĆtica estimated $44 million a day in $USDT via Binance P2P. With that volume, this market isnāt still: itās rotating, which is why the morning picture might not be the same as the afternoon one. The $BTC still remains the global thermometer, but here the pulse is set by $USDT.
ā ļø Heads up: this is market reading, not investment advice. Numbers change by the hour, and nobody has a crystal ball.
A 4.14% spread doesnāt mean everything is cheap or expensive; it means the market is more orderly than it was two weeks ago. And in an orderly market, the one who measures winsānot the one who rushes.
Before closing any trade today: check your rate, see who youāre trading with, and save the receipt. Todayās spread isnāt the one for tomorrow.
