Market outlook
The gap between listings is the most significant factor today, but the order book adds nuance: buying pressure is clear, although the best bid-ask spread is tight (0.13%), indicating that immediate liquidity is concentrated and the gap widens further down the order book. By bank, Banesco accounts for 22.9% of liquidity with a spread of 0.88%, while Banco de Venezuela offers the most competitive spread: 0.42%. Pago Móvil, with a 15.2% share, shows a wider spread of 1.73%.
Context
The article highlights three practices to follow before trading: compare listings and order book depth by payment method; calculate P2P commissions, network fees, and bank charges before moving liquidity between platforms; and check the counterparty's limits, completion rate, and release time (minimums cited range from Bs. 450,000 to Bs. 1,800,000 in the listings with the best rates). For reference, Ecoanalítica estimates that nearly $44 million in USDT is traded daily via Binance P2P in Venezuela.
