Binance dollar rate today: what 1 USDT costs in bolívares and the gap with the BCV

Official read in the BCV text, the Gazette or the primary source. Reported from press or firms, with its date (a bank's or company's own official page about its service counts as Official). Unconfirmed no reliable source: ask the provider.

Buy, sell and gap

Binance P2P is a market between people: each user posts an ad with their own price and you choose whom to trade with. So there is not one price but two:

• You buy USDT. You pay bolívares and receive USDT. The price comes from the ads of people who sell.
• You sell USDT. You hand over USDT and receive bolívares. The price comes from the ads of people who buy.

The difference between the two is the market spread. The gap is something else: how much more expensive the reference price (the midpoint of buy and sell) is than the official dollar. It is calculated like this:

gap (%) = (Binance price ÷ BCV rate − 1) × 100

For example, with a BCV rate of 900 Bs and a reference price of 1,035 Bs, the gap is (1,035 ÷ 900 − 1) × 100 = 15%. A 15% gap means that to get a digital dollar you pay 15% more bolívares than you would at the official rate.

How we calculate the price

We show the recipe so you do not have to take our word for it:

1. We ask Binance P2P for the public list of USDT/VES ads for a trade of 100,000 Bs (about 100 dollars). Only ads whose minimum and maximum accept that amount count; an ad with a minimum of millions of bolívares is not what someone changing 100 dollars sees.
2. We take the 10 best ads on each side.
3. We show the median of those 10, not the first one: a stray ad should not move the figure.
4. We discard a reading if there are fewer than 5 ads or if the figure looks absurd next to the BCV. The last good reading stays, with its time.

A larger or smaller amount, or a specific payment method, can give you a different price in the Binance app. This figure is a guide, not an offer.

What USDT is and is not

• It is a digital token designed to stay close to a dollar, moved between people over the internet.
• It is not a dollar in a bank account or a banknote. It depends on its issuer and on the platform where you hold it.
• It is not Venezuela’s official rate. The official reference is the BCV dollar.

BCV or Binance: which to look at

• Taxes, public procedures and customs: the official reference is the BCV rate. AduanasVE’s import duty calculator suggests it by default. Which rate applies to your specific payment, confirm with the agency or your bank Unconfirmed.
• Comparing an offer of dollars: look at both. If someone charges you a rate, check how far it is from the BCV and from Binance; the difference is part of what you pay. We measure it in the remittance cost calculator.
• Seeing how the market moves: the table of recent days shows the buy and sell trend.

Risks worth knowing

This is neither financial nor legal advice. These are general precautions for any peer-to-peer market:

• Fake payment receipts. Release the USDT only when you see the money inside your account, not from a screenshot.
• Payments outside the platform. If someone asks you to talk or pay outside the app, be wary.
• Third parties. A payment coming from an account in someone else’s name is a common reason for blocks and disputes.
• Rules that change. Banks, Binance and Venezuela’s exchange rules change often. Check with your bank before moving money.
• Third-hand figures. Screenshots of “today’s rate” on social media may be from another day. Here the reading time is written on the figure.

Questions people ask

What is the Binance dollar rate in Venezuela?

It is the price in bolívares of one USDT, a digital token designed to track the U.S. dollar, on Binance's peer-to-peer (P2P) market. The central bank does not set it: it is formed by the buy and sell ads that users post, so it moves several times a day.

Why is the Binance rate higher than the BCV rate?

They are two different prices. The BCV is the official reference rate; Binance P2P reflects what people are willing to pay or receive for digital dollars. The difference is the gap, and this page calculates it from both figures at the moment.

Is one USDT the same as one dollar?

Not exactly. USDT is designed to be worth about a dollar, but it is not a dollar in a bank account or a banknote: it depends on its issuer and on the platform you use. That is why we talk about the price of USDT and not simply "the dollar".

How do you calculate the price shown?

We read Binance P2P's public ads for trades of about 100,000 Bs, take the 10 best on each side and show the median, so a single odd ad does not move the figure. We show two prices: what you pay if you buy USDT and what you receive if you sell it.

How often is it updated?

It is read several times a day. Under the large figure you see the exact time of the last reading, in Caracas time. If Binance does not answer, the last figure stays with its time.

Which rate is used for taxes or customs?

Official figures use the BCV rate as their reference, not Binance's, which is only a market reference. AduanasVE's import calculator, for example, suggests the BCV rate. Which rate applies to a specific payment, confirm with the agency or your bank.
