P2P liquidity is segmented
Advertisers choose which payment methods they accept, so each rail can form a different subset of the market with its own prices and limits.
Filter payment compatibility before ranking
If the user cannot or should not use the advertised payment method, that offer is not executable and should not win the comparison.
Provider policy sits outside the exchange quote
Banks and fintechs can impose account restrictions, transfer checks or crypto-related acceptable-use rules that are not visible in the P2P advertisement. Those constraints should be verified independently.
