June 27 (Cointime) - Bitfinex has launched a new peer-to-peer platform, Bitfinex P2P, which will initially target markets in Venezuela, Argentina, and Colombia. The platform allows customers to directly trade Bitcoin, Tether tokens, Tether Gold, and Ethereum while facilitating payments outside of the Bitfinex platform.

Bitfinex P2P enables users to swap one digital token for another within the marketplace, with a two-stage procedure involving a 'Maker' creating an 'Ad' on the 'Ad Board' and 'Takers' engaging in a trade based on the conditions outlined by the Maker. The platform includes a public profile view feature for added security during transactions, and a mobile version is slated for release later this year.
