Kenya as a global leader in P2P Trading.

According to a report by Chainalysis 2021, Kenyans are trading cryptocurrencies directly with each other (“peer to peer transactions” or P2P) more than elsewhere in the world.

P2P is the direct exchange of a digital currency for cash when depositing and the exchange of cash for the digital currency when you want to withdraw.

It is very synonymous with how banks have always worked and a later iteration that gave us Mpesa and Mpesa agents. That you can give a teller/agent cash to make a deposit to your account or return the deposit in your account to get the cash when withdrawing.

P2P on Benkiko.

It’s no mistake Benkiko is Kenyan born. Named a world leader in Financial Innovation, Benkiko implements the concept of P2P exchange to enable users make deposits and withdrawals from the platform.

For it’s Benkiko USD token, P2P traders get the USBD tokens float by buying from Benkiko at real-time dollar rates which they can then trade as P2P traders on the platform facilitating deposits and withdrawals.

Benkiko enables a margin of up to $0.05 on the deposits side and $0.05 on the withdrawals side. Cumulatively, a trader can make up to $0.1 per USDB deposited and withdrawn.
