One of the most common questions from new P2P traders is about USDT settlement. How does it work? Do you have to convert to crypto? Here is a complete guide.
Why USDT?
USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. In P2P payment processing, it serves as the settlement currency because:
- Stable value — No volatility like Bitcoin or Ethereum
- Global liquidity — Easily converted to INR or any currency
- Efficient settlement — Faster and cheaper than international wire transfers
How Settlement Works at Rocket Trade
- You receive INR pay-ins from users into your UPI accounts
- You process INR pay-outs for user withdrawals
- Your net balance (pay-ins minus pay-outs) is calculated
- Settlement in USDT — net balance converted at agreed rate
Do You Have to Convert Everything to USDT?
No. You can:
- Return funds as INR pay-outs — minimal USDT exposure
- Settle partially — convert only what makes sense
- Choose timing — settle at intervals that work for you
Converting USDT to INR
When you want to convert back to INR, options include:
- P2P crypto exchanges — Binance P2P, KuCoin P2P
- Indian exchanges — CoinDCX, WazirX, ZebPay
- OTC desks — For larger amounts
Tax Considerations
Crypto transactions in India are subject to TDS (1% under Section 194S) and capital gains tax (30% on gains). Maintain records of all settlements and consult a tax professional.
