Options for DEX and p2p in the US?

[overland000]

I am not interested in centralized exchanges, they are the opposite of what crypto should be about and they freeze people's money, etc, etc.
I know about Bisq and learning how to use it now, want to buy some BTC. Are there any other good options for DEX/p2p that are currently working?

You can try to look into this list, see: https://kycnot.me/?categories=exchange&currency-mode=or&currencies=fiat

It's worth noting though that there are still non-DEX (not talking about pseudo or hybrid DEXes), but are truly p2p and has no-kyc policy which you may be interested about like robosats for instance.

Thanks, I've seen that list and checked out some of these resources, some of them aren't working in the US which was clear only after trying to install them.
I want to know which are current and good in the US that allow fiat-BTC exchange. Bisq and robosats seem to be the best from my research. I wonder are there any other good ones.
I heard of people buying/selling through social networks but lots of scams there too.

cce.cash could really help along without you have to passed kyc while making withdrawal and of course it's a no kyc gambling site.
I have never used it myself to know whether it's actually reliable but few reputable members who are promoting them over here has proven that they are actually trustworthy which you can use their services from what I saw. Although I have asked some simple questions about the exchange which was replied where you wouldn't have to sign up for the exchange for you to have your coin swapped or exchange to the preferred coin you would want to receive.

I'd just try Bisq or trying to trade here or on other forums (with highly reputed users only).

Remember for non kyc dexes that crypto transfers are irreversible but some cash methods might not always be. Don't do things when tired or in a rush.

Talk to legendary and trusted members here first. I am.not US so can't help you but there are almost for sure someone who can work out a deal with you.  You probably need to earn trust first by being a bit active here or other reputable forum.

Out of curiousity, what were the platform that you've tried? perhaps they do accept US but there just weren't any offers at that moment. Unfortunately, no-kyc p2p do suffer from lack of liquidity.

Retoswap is apparently available worldwide, but I'm not very familiar with them. I think they're relatively new as well. Try with bisq and robosats first as they have a good standing already within the crypto community. They do have a learning curve especially bisq, and it won't be as liquid as mainstream platforms.

Indeed, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Someone mentioned you can also trade in the forum, that is indeed true. But for your safety, only transact with accounts of good trust or find a trusted escrow agent—perhaps you can look from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0

If your goal is to stay away from centralized exchanges entirely, then Bisq is definitely one of the best options out there right now, Bisq It is a decentralized exchange and fully non-custodial and there are no KYC requirements.  For this reason,  it is still recommended,  though it does have a bit of a learning curve and can have issues with liquidity.

Other US-based P2P options that are still serviceable are Hodl Hodl (multisig escrow, no custody), Robosats (lightning network, and is quite user friendly), and mostly LocalCoinSwap or Paxful, but these are a bit more “marketplace-style” and not quite as decentralized as Bisq,  If you want to steer away from frozen funds and custodial risk, the best option is still P2P, as there aren’t many true DEX options for purchasing BTC with fiat.

Gonna be tough one, the solution already mentioned above because for legal reason, big DEX and even Perp Dexes limit US users.
So, even if there is a good DEX for buying bitcoin with fiat, US users might be excluded from the services.

One i know is moonpay through uniswap but it requires KYC for big amount.
