Did you know that while the overall P2P market spread in Venezuela is Bs. 41.16 (4.27%), on Binance the spread between the best ask and bid is only Bs. 4.99 (0.51%)? 🤯
Today, Saturday, October 3rd, USDT on the P2P market is bought at Bs. 1,004.27 and sold at Bs. 963.11. The premium versus the BCV (Bs. 871.37) remains at 15.25%. With 217 active offers, liquidity isn’t the problem, but the gap is still the main issue.
On Binance, numbers are tighter: buy at Bs. 977.72 and sell at Bs. 972.73. That is, an internal spread of just 0.51%, reflecting enviable market depth. So why is the overall spread 8 times larger? The answer lies in fragmentation: not all platforms have the same liquidity, nor the same banks. Meanwhile, the BCV remains anchored at 871.37, and the 15.25% premium acts as a thermometer of dollar demand.
Context: Ecoanalytics insists on eliminating exchange control during the compression of the currency spread. But the reality of P2P shows that the spread is not compressed—it remains. Last week we saw a premium of 15.7%; today it’s 15.25%, a slight correction. Stabilization or a pause?
For the Venezuelan trader, this means spread opportunities, but also risks. It’s not about looking for price differences without control, but about understanding the dynamics of the P2P market. Always verify rates in real time, check the reputation of your counterparties, and don’t trade in a rush.
Remember: the market moves, the numbers change. Stay informed.
