Peer-To-Peer Matching

Definition

Peer-to-peer matching is a system that directly connects individuals or entities for transactions without an intermediary. In digital asset markets, this involves directly pairing buyers and sellers of cryptocurrencies, often facilitated by decentralized exchanges or specific trading protocols. The system removes the need for a centralized third party to hold funds or execute trades. This approach can offer increased privacy, reduced fees, and greater censorship resistance compared to centralized platforms.
