P2P trading in India
India is one of the busiest peer-to-peer crypto markets in the world, and most trades here settle over UPI in a few seconds. On Peerlyx you pay or get paid in rupees from the UPI app or bank account you already use, while the crypto waits in escrow.
What to know in India
- UPI and IMPS arrive in seconds, any time of day. NEFT can take longer, so pick an instant method when the payment window is short.
- Banks set their own daily UPI limits, often around ₹1 lakh. Check yours before a large trade, or use IMPS for bigger amounts.
- Keep your trade history: India taxes income from crypto and applies TDS on transfers. Peerlyx keeps a record of every trade for you.
What is Tether?
USDT, or Tether, is a stablecoin designed to keep the same value as one US dollar. People use it to hold dollar value, send money abroad and move between coins without the price swings of Bitcoin.
On Peerlyx you buy USDT straight from another person at a price they set in INR, so you can pay by UPI or IMPS, the way you already pay in India.
