Note: If you use one of the above P2P OTC trade "matchmaking" services, please trade with caution and do your own due diligence.
This list does not include exchanges not in English (e.g., 58Coin), deserted or defunct marketplaces (e.g., OpenBazaar, BuyCrypto.Today, Cancoin, and Rahakott), not-yet launched (e.g., OTCBoss), ones that operate only through dark markets, or online-only DEX/decentralized exchanges (another list of DEXes).
Also, there are a number of variants that donβt fit the P2P OTC exchanges category:
- Physical Stores where you can Buy or Sell bitcoin
- Online stores (e.g., Bitsell X [π³] [NO KYC, requires browser extension], CoinCorner [π³] [NO KYC when Β£900 or less, not available in U.S.], CEX.io, Coinify, Jubiter, Bittylicious, BitIreland, Kuna.io Money, LiteBit.eu, Switchere, Conio.com App, CryptoVoucher.io, BitQuick QuickBuy [NO KYC (when trx amount is under $400)], Cash App and CoinMama)
- Instant exchanges / Online-only Swap (i.e., for converting from one digital currency to another)
- Precious metals brokers which buy your gold and/or silver in exchange for bitcoin (e.g., Veldt Gold [NO KYC]).
- Gift card exchanges (e.g., CardCoins for paying with a non-reloadable, prepaid GIFT card (VISA/Mastercard/AMEX/Discover), Redeeem, CryptoVoucher.io for paying with gift cards for numerous brands, CardXCoin, and BitOf for paying with Amazon UK gift cards)
