Why track USDT instead of USD?

USDT trades within roughly 0.1% of USD on the parallel market and has the deepest, most transparent order book on Binance P2P, which makes it the best available proxy for the street rate.

How are these rates calculated?

Every hour we compare Baridimob offers that can fill a 50,000 DZD trade within their minimum and maximum limits. The headline is the median of up to five competitive offers from different merchants, with at least three required. Advertised balances do not determine the rate. Flagged older readings are excluded from charts, changes and daily summaries; exports preserve their original values and flags.

Where does the data come from, and can I download it?

The data comes from the public Binance P2P order book for USDT/DZD. The full history is available as CSV and JSON from the links at the top of the page. This site is informational only and not financial advice.
