Питупи

Питупи is a Russian-language Telegram channel on P2P crypto arbitrage with about 89,900 subscribers, one of the biggest in the niche. Its tagline promises everything about P2P arbitrage, and it comes with a chat (@mediap2p_chat), a cooperation contact and a support bot.

What the feed covers

Recent posts lean on regulation and risk. One appeal asks for interview participants who received "dirty" rubles on P2P exchanges and ran into trouble, as well as people involved in introducing such funds, with anonymity and compensation promised. Others explain planned rules that would limit crypto operations to licensed intermediaries from 1 July and bar direct P2P through foreign platforms, criminal liability of up to seven years for unlicensed digital-currency activity, and the requirement to include the taxpayer number in SBP transfers from 1 July. A further post reports that the Grinex exchange said more than one billion rubles of customer funds were stolen and moved into Tron tokens.

Who benefits

P2P merchants, exchangers, team leads and settlement operators in Russia and the CIS who need to know what the rules and bank filters will do to their flows. The channel also announces industry meetups.
