Buy and sell USDT in 16 currencies
Voltex trades the USDT stablecoin against 16 local currencies. Each one carries the payment methods that actually settle in that country — a currency is not just a symbol in front of a number.
Why a marketplace instead of an exchange
An ordinary exchange needs a bank on both ends. In much of East Africa that is the part that does not work: the rail is slow, expensive, or simply unavailable for the currency you hold. A peer-to-peer marketplace replaces the bank with a person who already has what you want, and replaces trust with escrow.
Escrow on every trade
The seller's USDT is locked the moment a trade opens. It cannot move until the buyer has paid and the seller confirms, or until an appeal is decided.
Verified merchants
Merchants pass identity checks and earn their badge from completed trades with different counterparties over time — not from paying for one.
Local payment rails
Telebirr, CBE, M-Pesa, bank transfer — each currency carries the methods that actually settle in that country, not a generic list.
Common questions
How does Voltex protect my money during a trade?
When a trade starts, the seller's USDT is moved into escrow and held by Voltex until the buyer's payment is confirmed. The seller cannot withdraw it and the buyer cannot take it without paying. If the two disagree, either side can appeal and a person reviews the evidence.
What does Voltex charge?
Voltex charges 0.3% of the trade, paid by the merchant who posted the offer. Buyers pay the price shown on the offer and nothing on top.
Which currencies can I trade?
16 currencies, including Ethiopian Birr, Kenyan Shilling, Nigerian Naira and US Dollar, each with the payment methods that actually settle in that country.
Do I need to verify my identity?
Yes. Identity verification is required before trading. It is what makes an appeal decidable and keeps stolen funds off the marketplace.
