PIX moves money between Brazilian accounts in seconds, at any hour. On Peerlyx you use it to buy USDT directly from another person, with the seller’s USDT held in escrow from the moment the trade starts.
Before you start
You need a free Peerlyx account with a verified email and an authenticator app turned on (two-factor authentication, 2FA). 2FA is required before you start a trade.
With a verified email you’re at Level 1 and can trade up to US$500 in total. You can also post sell offers within that limit. To remove it and post buy offers too, verify your phone number, ID and a selfie in Account settings › Identity verification (Level 2).
Buy USDT in 4 steps
- Open P2P Trade. Choose Buy, USDT and BRL, and filter by PIX.
- Choose a seller. Compare the price, the limits, and the seller’s completion rate and release time. Read their terms before you start.
- Pay by PIX. Start the trade: the seller’s USDT is locked in escrow. Send the exact amount to the PIX key shown in the trade, then tap I’ve paid.
- Get your USDT. The seller checks the payment arrived and releases. The USDT lands in your Peerlyx wallet straight away.
Stay safe on every trade
- Pay only to the details shown in the trade. Never pay to details sent in a message, by email or in another app.
- Mark the trade as paid only after the money has left your account.
- Sellers: release only when the money is in your account. Check your bank or wallet app, not a screenshot.
- Keep every message in the trade chat. Support can only see what happens on Peerlyx.
If you paid and the seller doesn’t release, you can open a dispute from the trade page 45 minutes after the trade was marked paid. The crypto stays locked in escrow while Peerlyx support reviews the chat and the payment proof.
Selling USDT for reais
Selling works the other way round: choose Sell, pick a buyer who pays by PIX, and release the USDT only after the reais are in your account. Releasing asks for your password and authenticator code, and can’t be undone.
