P2P processing vs P2P arbitrage
Both have "P2P" in the name and both involve moving money between people — but they are different businesses with different income and different risks.
What P2P arbitrage is
P2P arbitrage means buying crypto on P2P marketplaces at one price and selling at a higher one, earning the spread. Income depends on finding spreads, moving fast and the price not moving against you between trades.
What P2P processing is
P2P processing means accepting and sending real payments for merchants through your local accounts. You don't trade against the market: you earn a commission on every payment you process, and the platform routes the payments to you.
Which one fits you
Arbitrage suits people who want to trade actively and accept price risk. Processing suits people who want steady, turnover-based income and can provide accounts, working capital and consistent online time.
Many traders who start with arbitrage move to processing for predictability.
One integration, every local rail
P2P processing moves a business's deposits and withdrawals through local payment methods and private accounts instead of a classic acquiring bank. Here is the path every payment takes.
Questions and answers

Working capital is usually kept in USDT for the platform deposit, but you don't trade crypto against the market.
