Paxful closed on 1 November 2025, and NoOnes, where many of its users went, closed in August 2026. Here are six places that still let you turn crypto into money, with the fees, ID rules and risks of each.

Facts checked on 3 November 2026 against each service's own pages. P2P fees and country lists change often, and no service here was confirmed to accept gift cards as payment the way Paxful did. Zilligo is our own service.

The quick verdict

A fixed rate against a marketplace

If you used it to turn crypto into money, Zilligo replaces many of those trades: one fixed rate, one payout, and no buyer to trust or chase. A free account takes about a minute.

Pick Zilligo when

You want to know the exact amount before you send, paid to PayPal, phone credit, a gift card, a virtual Visa or cash pickup, with no buyer to vet.

And Paxful?

Paxful is gone. If you need a local method no fixed payout covers, the P2P desks below still run, with the same need to judge each buyer.

Where they lead

What Paxful did well

P2P had real advantages, and they are worth knowing when you pick what comes next.

  • Reputation scores and escrow on every trade

Questions

Zilligo or Paxful?

Every price is fixed before you send. See the fees.

Is Paxful still working?

No. Paxful stopped trading in October 2025 and closed on 1 November 2025. Withdrawals stayed open during the wind-down so users could move their coins out.

What about NoOnes?

NoOnes, which many Paxful users moved to, closed in August 2026 after EU sanctions, leaving only withdrawals.

Is there a P2P site that takes gift cards like Paxful did?

We couldn't confirm that any of the services above accepts gift cards as payment. If you sold crypto for gift cards, Zilligo can pay you in Amazon, Apple, Google Play or Steam cards instead.

Can I still sell crypto for naira?

Binance P2P stopped naira trading in 2024. Bybit P2P lists naira markets with no fee for takers. On Zilligo you can be paid by PayPal, a gift card, phone credit or cash pickup instead of a naira bank transfer.

Do I deal with strangers on Zilligo?

No. There's no buyer on the other side. You send crypto to your order and Zilligo pays you at the rate shown before you sent.

What was the biggest risk on P2P?

A buyer claiming to have paid, or reversing a payment after you released the coins. With Zilligo there's no third-party payment to reverse.
