RUB ad rules and platform alternatives
RUB ads follow the same per-ad volume rules as other assets, typically allowing USDT ranges from 5 to 10,000 or more depending on the specific listing. Makers set order minimums and optional maximums directly in the ad. Payment method names must match the verified account; third-party details are not allowed.
Binance P2P, Bybit P2P and OKX P2P currently charge zero fees to makers and takers across many markets while offering wider payment method choices and higher liquidity. Non-custodial platforms such as Bisq and Hodl Hodl operate on different escrow models without platform fees but require direct wallet interaction.
Walt P2P integrates with Telegram for order flow and maintains escrow until both parties confirm. Merchants trading RUB should calculate the higher fee impact against these zero-fee options before setting ad volumes.
