Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the USDT price updated?
Prices are monitored and updated daily based on the latest Colombo market trends and global P2P exchange rates.
Can I use these rates for Binance or Bybit?
Yes, these rates serve as a benchmark for major exchanges. However, always check the live spread on your specific platform before finalizing a trade.
What is the difference between Buying and Selling rates?
The buying rate is what you pay to acquire 1 USDT, while the selling rate is what you receive in LKR when you trade your USDT back into cash.
Why is the USDT rate higher than the official USD bank rate in Sri Lanka?
The USDT price in Sri Lanka is determined by P2P market demand. Since USDT is used as a bridge to buy other cryptocurrencies or move funds across borders, the demand often exceeds the supply of USD in the formal banking sector, leading to a "premium" price in LKR.

Currently, there is no law prohibiting the possession of digital assets in Sri Lanka. However, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has issued advisories regarding the risks associated with cryptocurrency volatility. Always ensure you are using reputable platforms for P2P transactions.
