P2P crypto exchanges

Everything on fuckyc.org about peer-to-peer crypto exchanges — Bisq, Hodl Hodl, AgoraDesk, RoboSats, Peach, Vexl, Haveno — plus the guides, Q&A, and country-specific guidance.

P2P exchanges are the durable no-KYC route for fiat-to-crypto in 2026, especially after MiCA tightened EU-domiciled CASPs and after LocalMonero's 2024 wind-down. This page aggregates the directory's coverage of every major P2P venue, the escrow models compared, and the country pages where each is the local default.

Quick answers (3)

How can I buy Bitcoin without ID in 2026? P2P over a bank rail (Bisq, Hodl Hodl, Peach, RoboSats) or cash by mail to a vetted AgoraDesk seller.
Can I buy Bitcoin with cash in 2026? Yes. Cash-by-mail to vetted AgoraDesk or Bisq sellers is the cleanest route. Cash-in-person trades happen on AgoraDesk. Bitcoin ATMs largely fell into KYC enforcement.
What happened to LocalMonero? LocalMonero, the largest no-KYC P2P Monero exchange, wound down operations in May 2024 citing regulatory pressure. AgoraDesk (same operator) continues for non-XMR pairs; Haveno and Bisq absorbed much of the user base.
