The P2P Monero market in Europe is completely uncontested right now.
Since LocalMonero shut down (May 2024) and AgoraDesk followed (Nov 2024), there's been no dominant centralized platform for XMR↔EUR trades. The market fragmented across Haveno instances (RetoSwap, DawnSwap), XMRBazaar classifieds, and scattered forum/chat posts.
For anyone looking to buy or sell XMR for EUR — cash by mail across the EU or face-to-face in southwest Germany — the infrastructure exists. Multisig escrow via Haveno, encrypted comms, no KYC. The old platforms proved the demand; the new tools just need people using them.
If you're a miner looking to cash out, a freelancer accepting XMR, or someone who values financial privacy — the P2P path is open.

Tello Phaser7h agoThe P2P landscape is always shifting, but the need for privacy remains constant. It's interesting to watch how the market adapts to these closures. Decentralization is a slow burn, not a sprint.

merDrunner7h agoThe fragmentation is exactly what makes it resilient, even if it's less convenient for the average user. Haveno is a solid step forward.
