Why P2P

Why Turkish traders buy USDT

Turkey generated the world's largest USDT/fiat P2P volume in 2024. This is not speculation — it is the mechanism by which millions of Turks protect savings from lira devaluation.

Lira inflation hedge

The Turkish lira lost over 450% of its purchasing power between 2020 and 2024. USDT provides dollar-denominated savings accessible from Papara or any Turkish bank — without foreign currency restrictions.

Dollar-denominated savings

USDT/TRY was the largest fiat trading pair on Binance globally in 2024, with over $22 billion in volume. Turkish adults hold USDT as a primary savings vehicle, not a speculative position.

Cross-border import payments

Turkish SMEs importing from Europe and Asia use USDT to pay overseas suppliers faster and at better rates than traditional bank wire transfers with FX conversion fees.

Speculation and trading

Turkey has one of the highest per-capita crypto trading volumes globally. P2P USDT is the primary on-ramp for TRY capital entering crypto markets, with Papara as the dominant funding method.
