Bybit alternative for turning USDT into local money and back
If you use Bybit only to swap USDT and local money, Unigox is a Bybit alternative that quotes one rate per trade, with the fee already in it. Keep Bybit for Earn, its card or large block trades.
When Unigox fits better than Bybit
You want one quote instead of a list of ads
On Unigox you confirm one quote, fee included. On Bybit P2P you pick an ad, or P2P Express picks one for you.
Your currency has no Bybit P2P ads
Bybit P2P has no USDT ads in some currencies. Check whether Unigox serves yours.
You want a payment business on the other side
Where a payment business serves your currency, Unigox lets you send the trade to it instead of a P2P merchant. On Bybit P2P every ad is posted by another user.
When to stay with Bybit
You want Earn, stock trading or a Bybit Card
They run from your Bybit account, and the Bybit Card spends from it with no annual card fee.
Your USDT is already on Bybit
Bybit P2P sells from the Funding Account, the same one behind your Bybit Card and fiat withdrawals, so nothing leaves Bybit. A Unigox sale starts with an on-chain withdrawal, and Bybit takes a fixed fee per coin and network for it.
You trade in large amounts
Bybit P2P runs block trades for large orders, for example 37,000 to 750,000 dirhams or 2.8 to 60 million Pakistani rupees per order.
You take ads and never post them
Takers pay Bybit no fee except on manat trades and trades with users verified in Azerbaijan. When a free ad pays more than the Unigox rate for your amount, the ad is the better trade.
