Go maker — Set your own P2P rules

Did you know you do not need to apply for a merchant status to start creating offers?

P2P works best when there is real competition. Sometimes the spread between buy and sell offers can feel too wide, which makes trading less attractive. The simplest way to fix this is not to wait for merchants to establish the rate you like but to create your own offer as a maker.

Maker vs merchant

A maker is any user who creates an offer. A merchant is an experienced maker with a separate status and an agreement to provide liquidity regularly. Merchant status is optional and does not define whether you can post offers.

You do not need to apply for merchant verification to set your own price.

What you can do as a regular user:
▪️Create Buy or Sell offers for UAH/USDT with 0% commission fees
▪️Set your own rate
▪️Choose limits that match your amounts
▪️Pick the payment methods you want to use

When more users create offers, the market becomes more balanced. More competition tightens spreads, prices become closer to the real market level, and more trades happen because the offers look fair on both sides.

How to create your own offer

The flow for publishing your first ad is almost as simple as placing an order.

The basic maker flow:
▪️Open P2P in the EXMO app
▪️Go to the offers menu and choose Create offer
▪️Select Buy or Sell and pick UAH/USDT (all deals come with 0% fee)
▪️Set your price and define min–max limits
▪️Choose your payment method and add a short maker note if needed
▪️Publish the offer and follow incoming orders

Control the rate — create your own offer and trade as a maker.
