Peer-to-Peer Secondary Market

Definition

One peer-to-peer (P2P) secondary market is a space for exchange where cryptoassets, chips or others digital titles are exchanged directly between users, without a centralized intermediary. This model is based on putting buyers and sellers in direct contact via dedicated platforms or Smart Contracts, guaranteeing secure and transparent transactions thanks to the Blockchain.

Unlike traditional markets, this type of market allows users to maintain total control of their funds and to freely set exchange conditions, such as prices and transaction terms. The absence of intermediaries reduces costs, avoids restrictions imposed by institutions, and facilitates accessibility to a global audience. Thanks to decentralized technologies, these transactions are traceable, unchangeable and secure, strengthening the trust of participants.

P2P secondary markets play a key role in DeFi, by offering free access to fractionated assets, to Security Tokens And to digital titles, without geographical barriers or control by a central entity.
