What Bitrica is
Bitrica is a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling BTC and XMR against bank transfers, payment apps and other methods. Trades are protected by platform escrow, and funds sit in an on-site wallet, part of it in cold storage, so the platform holds user funds. Its FAQ and privacy policy say there is no KYC, but traders must verify each other during a trade and may only pay from their own accounts. Sign-up asks for a username, email and password. The footer reads "Bitrica, Inc." with no jurisdiction, and the about page says the team stays anonymous. The terms text is short and mostly a liability disclaimer. When checked, the XMR buy page showed no active ads.
