This is Part 2 of my series on Web3 in Iran. In Part 1 I explained why Web3 is booming here. Now I will show you the exact method I use to buy USDT without any dollar account.
If you live in Iran you know the problem. No PayPal, no Wise, no dollar card. But you can still buy USDT with only your Rial bank card.
Here is how I do it step by step.
Step 1: Get a Wallet
First thing, download Trust Wallet or Atomic Wallet. Save your 12 words. This is your bank now.
Step 2: Use Local Exchange
I use Nobitex and Wallex the most. You verify with your national code, then deposit Rial from your Melli or Mellat card. Go to Market, select USDT/IRT and buy. It takes 2 minutes.
Step 3: My P2P Trick
When local exchanges have high fees, I use P2P. I go to Binance P2P with VPN or use local Telegram channels. Find a seller with 98%+ completion and 500+ trades. You send Rial via Card to Card, he releases USDT. Always use escrow. I never send first without escrow.
Step 4: Secure Your USDT
This is important. After buying, I never leave USDT on exchange. I withdraw directly to my Trust Wallet on TRC20 network to save fees.
That's it. No dollar account. No SWIFT. Just IRR to USDT in 10 minutes.
In my next part I will explain how I cash out USDT back to Rial without getting scammed and which exchangers to avoid.
