# Hodl Hodl > P2P Bitcoin trading platform. Hodl Hodl is a peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform. It lets users buy and sell bitcoin directly with each other worldwide using multisig escrow, without submitting identity verification. Hodl Hodl is a peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform, a non-custodial marketplace that connects buyers and sellers directly rather than intermediating trades itself. It provides an advertising board where users post buy and sell offers and a graphical interface for interacting with multisig escrow contracts on the Bitcoin network. The platform is built for traders who want to exchange bitcoin without submitting identity documents or trusting a third party with their funds. Each trade uses a unique two-of-three multisig escrow address, with one key held by the seller, one by the buyer, and one by the platform, so funds cannot be moved unilaterally. The seller deposits bitcoin into escrow, the buyer sends payment through an agreed method, and the seller then releases the bitcoin to the buyer. This structure lets users trade using a wide range of payment methods and currencies without the platform ever holding customer funds directly. Beyond spot trading, the company operates a companion peer-to-peer lending marketplace that applies the same multisig escrow model to bitcoin-backed loans, letting users lend or borrow cryptocurrency directly with one another. A testnet environment is also available for practicing trades without financial risk. The platform is used by individual bitcoin buyers and sellers, as well as lenders and borrowers, across many countries and payment systems. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2016-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/hodl_hodl ## Products - [Hodl Hodl Lend](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hodl_hodl): Hodl Hodl Lend is a non-custodial peer-to-peer lending platform that lets users borrow and lend using Bitcoin as collateral.
