Cryptocurrencies are the promising currency of the future. One primary reason is that central banks cannot manage and devalue cryptocurrencies via inflation over time. Plus, the blockchain technology behind it accelerates the revolution of digital currencies. Because of that, business people can tap into the transformative possibilities of decentralized finance (‘DeFi’), borderless payments, and machine-to-machine transactions.
Benefits of blockchain and crypto duo lure traders to buy and sell cryptocurrencies to gain profits for themselves. On the contrary, enterprising millennials and financial institutions strive to multiply their ROI from cryptocurrency exchange app development. However, what happened to one of the top 10 crypto-engaging countries in the world has left crypto exchange developers in confusion.
On 5th Feb 2021, the Central Bank of Nigeria banned the exchange of cryptocurrency and decreed financial institutions to close all accounts that trace to holding and trading in cryptocurrency. This phenomenon shook traders and investors who have heavily invested in cryptocurrencies. But P2P exchanges like Remitano, Binance, BuyCoins, LocalBitcoin, and more were there to their rescue.
It proves that P2P crypto exchanges have the potential to outperform centralized crypto exchange platforms in the upcoming time. Users have to deposit crypto or fiat currency into a platform crypto wallet on Centralized platforms before starting trading. The wallet then lets users transfer funds to another external crypto wallet.
From deposit & withdraw funds into bank accounts to buy-sell crypto, such platforms charge a transaction fee. Moreover, transactions on centralized platforms are overseen by a third party who operates the exchange. A peer-to-peer exchange, on the other hand, is decentralized. It allows traders to trade directly with one another, eradicating a third-party oversight.
Excluding central authority, P2P exchanges employ smart contracts. These contacts self-execute as per set conditions and record every transaction to the blockchain. Thereby, P2P aka Decentralized Crypto Exchanges—DEXs are free from technical failures, including third-party interfaces, cyber-attacks, and stolen cryptocurrencies.
Then, why would users risk their accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges when they can trade on P2P Platforms effortlessly without getting flagged?

Since P2P exchanges are self-executing, they charge a far lower fee than centralized exchanges. Plus, it is non-custodial, meaning external wallets can interact with P2P platforms, and it doesn’t control users’ private keys.

How much does P2P Crypto Exchange Development Cost?
A white label solution will cost you around $30K. Nonetheless, you may not receive a customized solution as per your brand with a white label exchange. We recommend creating a P2P crypto trading app either in-house (if you have resources or hiring mobile app developers) or from an outsourcing company.
The cost to develop a P2P crypto exchange app from scratch may be a bit costlier than the white label. But it is worth considering from a long-term business perspective. Plus, by creating a P2P exchange prototype, you can collect feedback from real users and attract investors as well. And just like that, step-by-step, you can upgrade, scale, and maintain your own crypto trade exchange hassle-free.
Speaking of the cost, it may vary depending on various factors like app UI/UX, complexity, location of the app development company, etc. Understand which factor impacts the most on the cost. That way, you and your consultant team can strategize the development, reducing the initial cost.
