Premium = best P2P price to buy 1 USDT ÷ the official exchange rate − 1. A positive premium means USDT costs more than a dollar at the bank rate, which usually happens where dollars are hard to get. Prices from Binance and Bybit P2P.
Why the premium matters
- Why is USDT more expensive than the dollar in some countries?
- When banks limit how many dollars people can buy, demand moves to P2P markets and the price of USDT rises above the official rate. A high or rising premium is often an early sign of pressure on the local currency.
- Why is it cheaper in others?
- A negative premium usually means there are more sellers than buyers, or that the official rate is higher than what people really pay in the street.
- How do I use this?
- If you are sending money home or paid in USDT, compare the premium with the bank rate before you sell. Open a currency to see the live offers, the best time of day to trade and trusted merchants.
