USDT and the Nigerian Naira (Nigeria)

Nigeria has one of the highest crypto adoption rates in Africa, driven by remittance demand and naira devaluation. The Central Bank of Nigeria lifted its banking ban on crypto in December 2023, allowing regulated exchanges to access banking services. Peer-to-peer trading remains the dominant method for buying crypto.

The USDT/NGN exchange rate fluctuates based on global supply and demand across cryptocurrency exchanges. Major exchanges operating in Nigeria include both international platforms and local providers. When converting USDT to NGN, consider exchange fees (typically 0.1%-1.5%), withdrawal fees, and any spread between the quoted rate and the actual execution price.

Since USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, the USDT/NGN rate closely tracks the USD/NGN foreign exchange rate. Small deviations from the peg can occur during periods of market stress. The rate shown above reflects the live market price, which may differ slightly from $1.00 USD.
