P2P cryptocurrency exchange: from risks to safe alternatives

In recent years, P2P trading has firmly established itself in the crypto industry. According to analysts, the global P2P payment market will reach $3.63 trillion in 2025, with average annual growth projected at 18% until 2034. The ability to exchange 24/7, the absence of intermediaries, and a wide choice of counterparties have made this format especially popular. However, with the growth in popularity came serious threats.

Key P2P risks include the so-called "triangle scheme", when an attacker uses third-party data to pay for a transaction, which can ultimately lead to a refund and losses for the cryptocurrency seller. No less dangerous are fake transfer confirmations, the use of stolen cards, chargebacks, as well as scammers who accumulate positive reviews in order to subsequently pull off a major scam. Add to this phishing, psychological pressure, abrupt cancellation of a transaction when the exchange rate changes, and the risk of a bank block due to numerous transfers from different cards - and it becomes clear that security in classic P2P leaves much to be desired.

The main problem is the imbalance of risks: there is freedom of payments, but the main burden of responsibility falls on the seller. The reason is the lack of reliable verification and transparency. On many platforms, it is difficult to understand who is hiding behind the account and whether they have legal sources of funds.

Hybrid solutions are becoming an alternative, combining the convenience of P2P with the control and protection typical of banking systems. Such services ensure the transparency of transactions, legal protection and compliance with regulatory requirements, while maintaining the speed and availability of exchange.

A7A5 offers exactly this approach. Their product is the ruble stablecoin A7A5, secured by fiat reserves in reliable banks. It allows you to buy cryptocurrency from a Russian card legally and without the risk of blocking, with full transparency for financial monitoring. Registration and KYC verification take a minimum of time, and the token rate is always 1 ruble. Clear limits are set: from 100 rubles when buying and from 600 tokens when selling, with a monthly maximum of 600 thousand rubles.

The company is convinced that the future of the crypto market lies in uniform verification standards and transparent exchange mechanisms. The sooner the industry moves to such solutions, the sooner fraudulent schemes will become a thing of the past. In the meantime, the use of proven payment gateways remains the most predictable and safe option for market participants.
