How to sell crypto with P2P Express
Bybit’s P2P Trading facilitates the process of buying and selling crypto without any intermediaries between Bybit users. In the standard P2P Trading format, prospective crypto sellers review buy ads posted by other users, and pick an advertisement that fits their requirements. However, the process of searching through and reviewing suitable buy ads can be time-consuming, and may be confusing for beginning sellers. That’s why Bybit has introduced the P2P Express option, which lets you quickly and efficiently sell crypto simply by specifying your desired sale amount.
This article provides key details on how to sell crypto via Bybit’s P2P Express. This service is optimal for many novice sellers. It’s also desirable for any user who would like to sell their cryptocurrency in a highly time-efficient and hassle-free way.
Key Takeaways:
Bybit’s P2P Express allows you to sell crypto for fiat by automatically matching your requirements to the best available buy ads on the exchange’s P2P market.
P2P Express provides an excellent alternative to Bybit’s standard P2P Trading, as you don’t need to manually sift through and evaluate multiple buy ads.
The service is only available on the Bybit App, with zero maker or taker fees for the vast majority of trading pairs.
What selling via P2P Express means
Currently available only via the Bybit App mobile application, the P2P Express service allows Bybit users to sell their crypto for fiat in the most straightforward, fast and user-friendly fashion. To take advantage of the service, simply specify your desired sale amount (either in crypto sold or fiat currency used for payment). The system automatically matches your requirements to the most suitable, verified buy ads on the P2P platform. This way, it saves you time, and frees you from the need to sift through multiple ads in order to find the best available options.
Selling via P2P Express vs. selling via standard P2P
Selling crypto via the standard P2P route on Bybit requires you to look through buy ads, evaluate each offer, research the buyer’s reputation and history on the platform, check applicable limits and identify the optimal alternative.
In contrast, P2P Express involves a much simpler and faster process: first, you indicate the desired sell amount, and then let the system automatically pick the optimal option. If suitable buyers are found, P2P Express provides you with a choice of payment methods. You select your preferred payment method, then execute your trade. The entire process takes fewer steps and is much more user-friendly as compared to standard P2P Trading.
Eligibility and account requirements
P2P Express is available to Bybit users who have completed at least the Standard Level of Identity Verification. Additionally, P2P Express excludes users in the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as any residents of countries not currently serviced by Bybit.
Step-by-step: How to sell crypto with P2P Express
As of early February 2026, P2P Express is available only on the Bybit App, but not on the platform’s desktop/web version. To sell crypto via P2P Express, simply follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open the Bybit App on your mobile device and tap on More in the home screen. Then, tap on P2P Trading. At the top of the P2P Trading page, tap on P2P Express, and select the Sell tab.
Step 2: On the P2P Express screen, enter the amount of crypto you want to sell or the amount of fiat you want to receive. You can switch between the two options by tapping on the small swap icon as shown below. After specifying your desired amount, tap on Select payment method.
Step 3: From the list of available options, select the payment method you’d like to use to receive fiat currency.
Note: If you haven’t previously added the chosen payment method to your account, tap on the Add <payment_method_name> Payment option, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 4: After choosing your payment method, you’ll see a Pending Payment screen with a countdown timer that specifies how much time the buyer has to make a payment to you. After you’ve received the fiat funds for the sale, tap on the Release Now button to transfer the sold crypto to the buyer, and confirm the transaction with the code sent to you (based on your security settings).
Payment confirmation and release process
Upon receiving your payment, you should release the funds to the buyer within the specified time frame on the screen. If the buyer fails to make a payment on their end within a required period, the order will automatically be canceled, and the crypto will be returned to your Funding Account.
Never release your crypto funds before receiving a payment in your Funding Account. If you receive a payment confirmation, but the funds haven’t arrived, you can clarify with the buyer via the Chat function on the order page. If the buyer is unresponsive or refuses to cooperate, you can tap on the Order Dispute button to notify Bybit.
Fees, exchange rates and settlement timing
The amount of time it takes to receive funds from the buyer may vary depending upon your chosen payment method. You can check the timing estimates in the order preview before confirming your sell order.
Exchange rates for crypto sold via P2P Express are set by buyers in their ads. The system simply matches your sell requirements to the optimal option among the buy ads that are currently available.
Most trading pairs on P2P Express have no maker or taker fees. Per the table below, there are exceptions applicable to certain transactions involving the Nigerian naira (NRN), Russian ruble (RUB) and Azerbaijani manat (AZN). However, all other sell orders via P2P Express attract zero maker or taker fees.
Please note that you may also be charged a payment transaction fee, depending upon your chosen payment method.
Conclusion
Bybit’s P2P Express service is a great way to sell your crypto for fiat currency if you prefer a hassle-free, time-efficient and user-friendly alternative. The system’s ability to automatically match your requirements to optimal buy ads is an excellent option, both for beginning traders and for those looking for maximum convenience and ease of use. An added bonus is the absence of maker or taker fees for most trades, which makes selling via P2P Express a cost-effective choice as well.
