💰Why Does the Price of USDT Fluctuate in the Venezuelan P2P?

The difference between the BCV rate and the price of USDT in P2P trading is explained by a series of economic and market factors specific to Venezuela:
Hedge against devaluation: In the face of the constant loss of value of the bolívar, many Venezuelans turn to USDT to protect their savings. This high demand drives its price up.

Demand for international transactions: USDT has become a key tool for individuals and businesses that need to make payments and transactions abroad, bypassing the complexities of the traditional financial system.

Risk coverage: Sellers of USDT in P2P often incorporate a margin into their price to protect themselves from the rapid devaluation of the bolívar, fees, and possible delays in transactions.

Influence of market perception: The price is also affected by the general perception of economic risk, the availability of cash foreign currency, and confidence in the local currency.

In summary, the BCV dollar and USDT are two distinct assets that operate in different markets and under different regulations. While the former is an official reference rate, the latter is a digital asset whose value in bolívares in the P2P market reflects the complex economic dynamics of Venezuela. It is essential for the community to understand these differences to make informed financial decisions and operate within the current legal framework in the country.
