What is the USDT to lari rate today?
Current buy and sell prices across six exchanges are in the table above and refresh automatically every few minutes. There is no single rate: each venue has its own, which is why we show all of them.
Where is the best place to buy USDT for GEL?
The lari appears on all six venues, with the market split almost evenly between Binance and Bybit at forty and thirty-seven percent. But read the price together with the ad limits: the lowest price is often available only for a small amount.
Why do lari prices differ between exchanges?
On P2P the price is set by the merchant, not the exchange. The difference depends on how many sellers work on a venue and how actively that venue serves Georgia. A noticeable share of lari deals settle as cash in person — a consequence of many market participants having arrived recently and not yet opened an account.
Is this the official rate?
No. The official rate is published by NBG and shown separately on this page alongside the premium. The table carries real ads posted by people, which always differ from it.
The GEL market: what to know
Georgia has become a notable relocation hub and the lari market reflects it: ad counts are modest but present on all six venues, and a meaningful share of deals settle in cash in person. Bank of Georgia and TBC open accounts for non-residents, so bank transfers work too. With low volume, the rate is sensitive to single large trades.
Where the lari trades
The lari appears on all six venues, with the market split almost evenly between Binance and Bybit at forty and thirty-seven percent. Around six hundred and fifty ads in total: a small market, but a live and distributed one rather than one concentrated on a single venue.
How this market works in practice
A noticeable share of lari deals settle as cash in person — a consequence of many market participants having arrived recently and not yet opened an account. Those ads usually quote a better rate but carry a risk a bank transfer does not: exchange escrow protects the crypto, not you personally. For bank settlement, Bank of Georgia and TBC open accounts to non-residents.
Payment methods
The lari market mostly runs on: Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, наличные. The payment rail moves the price as much as the venue does, and the full P2P scanner lets you filter ads by method. How to read ad limits, and why a visible spread differs from a real one, is covered in the lesson on spreads.
The premium over the NBG rate
The premium shows whether a dollar costs more or less inside the country than the regulator says. For Georgia it is one of the most honest indicators of the real rate, because it is built from thousands of live trades rather than a published figure.
