Which exchange has the most P2P ads in pounds?

More ads means a better chance of finding a good price and a seller who accepts the payment method you have. Here's how many USDT ads in Egyptian pounds we counted on 10 October 2026 (the numbers change daily):

Exchange Sell ads (you buy from them) Buy ads (you sell to them)
Binance 223 341
Bybit 152 177
OKX 82 165
Bitget 39 65

Bottom line: Binance is the biggest market in Egypt, and Bybit is a strong second choice. KuCoin, MEXC and Gate let you sign up from Egypt, but we didn't find an EGP P2P market anywhere near that size on them.

Payment methods: InstaPay or Vodafone Cash?

Method How you pay the seller Good for you if
InstaPay Transfer to the seller's bank account or InstaPay address (IPA) shown in the order You have a bank account linked to the InstaPay app
Vodafone Cash Transfer to the wallet number shown in the order You use a Vodafone Cash wallet
Bank transfer Transfer to the account number shown in the order Transfers within the same bank are usually faster
e& money / Orange Cash Transfer to the wallet number You have an Etisalat (e&) or Orange wallet

How to buy USDT in Egypt (on Binance)

1. Create an account and verify it with your national ID

In Egypt, the first document Binance recommends for verification is your national ID card, then your passport, then your driver's license. Take clear photos of both sides and finish the face check.

3. Filter by payment method

Choose InstaPay, Vodafone Cash or your bank, so you only see ads that work for you. Compare the price, the minimum and maximum limits, and the seller's trade count and completion rate.

4. Place the order and pay

Tap Buy, enter the amount in pounds or in USDT, then tap Place Order. Open View payment details and transfer the exact amount from InstaPay or Vodafone Cash.

5. Tap [Transferred, notify seller]

Only once the transfer has actually gone through. Don't cancel the order after you've paid.

6. Receive your USDT

Once the seller releases it, your USDT shows up in your Funding wallet.

Egyptian living abroad?

If you're in the Gulf or Europe and want to send money to your family in Egypt:

  1. Buy USDT in the country you live in.
  2. Send it to your family's Binance account as a Binance user (by email, phone number or Binance ID), with no network to choose.
  3. Your family sells it on P2P for pounds and gets paid by InstaPay or Vodafone Cash in their own name.

Before you start, check that the exchange is available in the country where you live. The full guide to selling and getting paid: How to withdraw from Binance.

Common mistakes in Egypt

  • Paying from a Vodafone Cash wallet in someone else's name (a family member's, for example): the payment may be rejected or cause problems. Pay from a wallet in your own name.
  • Sending a different amount from the one in the order, even if it's only slightly off.
  • Talking to the seller on WhatsApp instead of in the order chat.
  • Canceling the order after paying because the seller is slow. Wait, message them in the chat, then ask for help.
