Learn how to become a Bybit P2P Advertiser, post crypto trade ads for free, and leverage secure escrow, zero fees, and global reach to maximize profits.

Buying and selling cryptocurrencies for fiat money are key activities within the crypto industry. Crypto-to-fiat (and vice versa) trading operations support two vital processes that link the worlds of crypto and traditional finance — 

. While there are several primary ways of buying and selling crypto for fiat, 

 (P2P) markets are desirable to traders thanks to their flexibility and the absence of intermediary parties. Transacting with a fellow trader to buy or sell crypto can be a mutually beneficial deal for both parties, especially if the trading platform doesn’t take its cut in transaction fees.

Unfortunately, many P2P crypto markets suffer from two key drawbacks. One is the presence of transaction fees, imposed by the platform that acts as a matchmaking medium for the transaction. Such fees defeat one of the main purposes of P2P trading — namely, eliminating intermediaries with financial interest. The second problem relates to the numerous scams and disputes during transaction execution in these trades.

Among the best solutions to avoid these problems is 

. With zero transaction fees and a secure escrow system that protects both parties during a P2P crypto transaction, the platform may be an ideal choice for your crypto sell or buy operations. You can also register as an Advertiser on the platform to truly maximize the profitability and efficiency of your crypto-to-fiat or fiat-to-crypto activities. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look into Bybit P2P Advertising and the numerous benefits that traders can derive from using this program, which is free to join for users of the Bybit P2P trading platform.

Bybit’s P2P trading platform helps cryptocurrency sellers and buyers conduct their P2P transactions with zero fees, a secure escrow system, access to a global audience of more than half a million users and the choice of more than 70 national fiat currencies, 300 cryptocurrencies and 600 payment methods. 

Run by one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Bybit P2P serves as one of the best mediums for crypto off-ramping and on-ramping.

Unlike smaller P2P platforms, Bybit P2P offers a sweeping range of fiat currencies. Among the more than 60 national currencies on offer are the U.S. dollar (USD), euro (EUR), British pound (GBP), Swiss franc (CHF), Singapore dollar (SGD), Brazilian real (BRL), United Arab Emirates dirham (AED) and many more.

True to the ethos of P2P trading, the platform charges no transaction fees for any buy or sell operations. Traders also benefit from an escrow system that lets both parties transact in complete security.

The two key parties on the platform are takers and makers. Takers place buy or sell orders through the existing ads on the platform, while makers are the ones placing the ads via the platform’s P2P Advertising program. 

Makers can post ads to increase the visibility of their crypto offers, thereby reaching more prospective buyers more quickly and optimizing the profitability and efficiency of their crypto trading. There are no fees involved for posting the ads or joining the Advertiser program. You do need to meet specific requirements, though, as we’ll detail further on.

As an Advertiser, you can also benefit from the unique P2P advertising shared asset function, which lets you place multiple ads for the same funds offered for sale. For example, if your account holds 500 USDT, you can place different ads for this amount, each tailored to different potential buyer segments.

There are three types of Advertisers on the Bybit P2P platform: General, Verified and Block. General Advertisers can publish their sell ads on the platform to attract potential buyers. Depending upon their last 30-day 

, they’re classified into either the Beginner, Regular or Veteran subtype.

General Advertisers who successfully undergo additional verification and meet certain trading activity requirements can earn the Verified Advertiser status. These users enjoy higher ad visibility rankings and more generous transaction limits.

Block Advertisers wish to trade cryptocurrency at higher volumes, and enjoy the most generous transaction limits. To become a Block Advertiser, traders will need to undergo a complete individual or institutional verification, depending upon the account variety held on Bybit.

To qualify as a General Advertiser, Bybit P2P users need to have been registered on the platform for at least 30 days. Their past 30-day trading volumes (on a rolling basis) determine their General Advertiser subtype. Beginner General Advertisers are those with a trading volume of less than 2,000 in USDT equivalent over the past 30 days. They also have no minimum requirement in terms of the number of counterparties transacted with during that period. 

Advertisers with a 30-day trading volume of at least 2,000 USDT and at least five counterparties qualify for the Regular General Advertiser designation. Those with a 30-day trading volume of at least 10,000 USDT and at least five counterparties can become Veteran General Advertisers. All General Advertisers also need to meet additional requirements in terms of the number of completed orders, order completion rate and basic 

. The table below outlines the requirements for all three varieties of General Advertisers.

Verified Advertisers need to meet further identity verification requirements beyond the basic level used for General Advertisers. They also need to have completed at least 60 orders in the past 30 days, have at least 100 total completed orders, maintain a favorable rating of at least 95%, achieve an average payment time of under 15 minutes and keep at least 500 USDT in their account at the time of application.

Block Advertisers also need to meet comprehensive individual or business verification requirements beyond those for Verified Advertisers. The verification requirements for Block Advertisers are summarized in the table below.

All Advertiser types, including General Advertisers, benefit from having their ads reach thousands of Bybit P2P users. General Advertisers enjoy ad limits commensurate with their level — 1,000, 20,000 or 50,000 USDT per ad for Beginner, Regular and Veteran, respectively. The amount limits per ad for BTC and ETH also vary according to the level.

Becoming a Verified Advertiser allows you to access additional benefits, such as a special logo confirming your verified status, higher ranking in the ad display algorithm, access to exclusive promotions and priority customer service.

You can post a P2P ad either from a desktop or via the Bybit mobile app as follows:

: To post a P2P ad from a desktop environment, navigate to 

 from the main menu on Bybit’s website and select the 

: Fill in the details of your ad, such as the type of ad, your preferred asset, minimum and maximum amounts per order, and price. You can choose either a fixed price — which remains unchanged, regardless of market developments — or a floating price — which varies based on ongoing market fluctuations. The floating price is calculated by taking into account the premium and the reference price to keep it in line with changing market dynamics.

: If you use the Bybit mobile app, tap on 

: Tap the three horizontal dots icon in the upper-right corner to go to 

: Fill in the details of your ad. After completing your ad’s details, review and publish it.

If you apply to become a Verified Advertiser or Block Advertiser, note that you’ll need to provide a 1,000 USDT security deposit. This amount remains frozen in your account while you maintain your Verified or Block Advertiser status.

Tips for Successful P2P Advertising on Bybit

As a P2P Advertiser, you can maximize your success and profitability on the platform by following a few strategies. Naturally, one of the keys to success is to offer competitive prices. This not only attracts more willing buyers, but may also help you in the ad positioning rankings, since the top five Verified Advertisers with the best prices are regularly selected to be shown to buyers as special recommendations.

Maintaining a high order completion rate is another key strategy for successful advertising: it helps build your reputation and acts as a factor in determining the ad visibility rankings.

Being flexible in terms of your order — for example, offering a variety of payment methods — is also critical. Bybit’s P2P Trading attracts a global audience of more than half a million users, so when you offer more payment methods, you’re more likely to find willing buyers from different localities.

Being responsive and prompt in answering potential buyer inquiries is also highly recommended. A further way to optimize your ad performance is to become a Verified Advertiser, which helps you both build trust and achieve a higher position in the ad ranking algorithm. If you routinely plan to trade at significant levels, such as tens or hundreds of thousands of USDT equivalent per order, you may also consider becoming a Block Advertiser, which helps you achieve the highest priority in ad rankings.

P2P crypto trading on Bybit is an excellent way to buy or sell crypto without any transaction fees while enjoying the protections provided by a leading crypto exchange platform. The platform’s secure escrow system, zero fees on P2P orders, global audience of more than half a million users, close to 600 payment methods and choice of around 60 fiat currencies and 300 cryptocurrencies make it an ideal environment for cryptocurrency buyers and sellers. 

Furthermore, when you become an Advertiser on the platform you significantly boost your trading outcomes, exponentially increase the visibility and reach of your ads, qualify for generous order limits and build trust as a Verified Advertiser.

Karate Combat (KARATE) is one of the top meme coins empowering enthusiasts to engage with karate in a digitalized manner. Learn about its utility & value.

2304-T3375_Bybit_Learn_-_Coin_Banner-KARATE_1600x900.png

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology have infiltrated virtually every sector of society, creating a worldwide buzz. Now, they’re making a high-flying leap into the martial art dojo! 

 — a fresh-faced contender in the crypto space. Understand its utility, tokenomics and how it squares off against other meme coin gladiators. You'll also get some hard-hitting tips to help you grapple with meme coin investing. Let's jump into the fray.

Karate Combat (KARATE) is not just a digital asset — it's a novel fusion of cryptocurrency and martial arts branded as a meme coin, empowering enthusiasts to engage with karate in an entirely new way. Founded in 2018, Karate Combat is a professional, full-contact karate league based in New York and broadcast across over 100 countries. What sets this league apart is its innovative use of technology in presenting its events.

The league's fights are captured using 360-degree cameras and delivered to fans in immersive virtual reality, providing a unique spectator experience. But the innovation doesn't stop there: Karate Combat also incorporates blockchain technology, adding a fresh dimension to fan engagement.

The league's native token, KARATE, is central to this innovation. It's more than a cryptocurrency — it symbolizes the community's fighting spirit. Serving as a decentralized medium of exchange, Karate Combat allows fans to support and invest in their passion for this ancient martial art. Its blockchain-driven ecosystem fosters interaction and decentralizes value within the karate community.

Karate Combat is on a mission to popularize karate on a global scale, and its unique blend of martial arts and cryptocurrency is the powerful roundhouse kick propelling this goal.

KARATE tokens serve as the primary governance and gamification tool for Karate Combat, offering an innovative way to deepen fans' engagement with the sport while shaping the league's trajectory. 

One of the intriguing applications of KARATE tokens is in the 

 platform as a web3 game where players back their favorite fighters. The beauty of this game is its zero-loss mechanism, which means players can earn more tokens without any risk of losing theirs. The potential winnings of a player increase as they acquire more KARATE tokens. Over time, active participants and successful fighters naturally reduce the number of less active players, creating a dynamic and engaging ecosystem.

What sets Karate Combat apart from other sports NFT projects and fan tokens is the league-wide governance powered by its token through the 

. This model allows Karate Combat to enhance the value of the KARATE token significantly by providing token-gated experiences (merch, live event ticketing and more). This approach amplifies the utility of the KARATE token and enriches the overall fan experience, showcasing an innovative intersection of blockchain technology and sports.

The KARATE token, issued by Karate Combat, manifests a unique token structure to foster long-term growth and stability. With a 

, 4.5 billion were in circulation at the token generation event, indicating a substantial quantity kept for future distribution. This future allocation intends to cater to a broad array of stakeholders, including not only founders and investors but eventually extending to fans and athletes, thereby promoting inclusive growth.

Fully 80% of the tokens are subject to rigorous lockup schedules to discourage short-term speculation. This involves a one-year hard lock, during which trading is disallowed, followed by a three-year unlocking schedule, gradually releasing these tokens into circulation. This approach not only encourages long-term holding, but also underpins the sustainability of the KARATE ecosystem.

Karate Combat’s distribution strategy, including airdrops, is naturally inflationary but also aims to bolster the community without compromising token value, breaking from the traditional scarcity-focused mindset that pervades the crypto world.

Further adding to the flexibility and adaptability of KARATE tokens, they are dual-issued on both the 

 network and Ethereum mainnet as HTS and 

 tokens, respectively. While bridging between these networks is possible, there will be no initial “mint & redeem” functionality to prevent pricing discrepancies. KarateDAO pledges to manage resources across both networks to actively ensure constant liquidity.

While Karate Combat (KARATE) is unique in its focus on martial arts, it shares the meme coin realm with popular tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) and PepeCoin (PEPE). These coins started as internet memes, but have seen significant growth and adoption.

Dogecoin launched as a joke in 2013 and has gained a massive following and market cap, primarily driven by social media and celebrity endorsements. PEPE, while not as mainstream, also boasts a dedicated community.

In comparison, KARATE offers a more targeted appeal. It combines the virality of a meme coin with the enthusiasm of the karate community. Its unique value proposition and utility may attract a niche — but more passionate — user base. However, like all meme coins, it’s also subject to the volatile and unpredictable nature of the crypto market.

If you're considering having a go at meme coins, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Karate Combat (KARATE) is a unique experiment at the crossroads of martial arts and cryptocurrency. Its specific focus on the karate community gives it a distinct edge, offering a platform for enthusiasts to invest in and engage with their passion in a new way.

However, risks are involved with any cryptocurrency, especially meme coins. The volatile nature of the market can lead to significant price swings, which can be a double-edged sword for investors. While there's potential for high returns, the risk of losses is also substantial.

The key to navigating the meme coin market is staying informed and understanding the risks involved. If you're an investor with a passion for karate and a willingness to participate in a new form of community-driven project, Karate Combat could be an exciting opportunity. Remember, as always, in the worlds of crypto and karate alike — discipline is key.
