A negative example of taking a business off the exchange
Dennis meets a trader named Lynn on a reputable P2P exchange and, in an effort to save on fees, they agree to conduct their trades outside the platform. Over the next few weeks, Dennis completes several successful transactions with Lynn, which leads him to trust her more with each trade. The trades gradually increase in size, and confident in their relationship, Dennis decides to proceed with a significant transaction, exchanging around 56,000 USDT. However, after Dennis transfers the cryptocurrency, Lynn fails to send the agreed payment and becomes unreachable.
This example underscores that even if there have been successful trades in the past, conducting transactions outside of an exchange carries the risk of the other party not fulfilling their obligations.
