What to know

  • Peer-to-peer USDT trading is common in Nigeria; always verify a counterparty's transaction hash on a blockchain explorer before releasing funds or goods.
  • Be especially cautious of "flash" tools offered in peer-to-peer trading contexts that claim to send USDT instantly — verify independently every time, with no exceptions.
  • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria and the Central Bank of Nigeria have issued guidance on digital assets; review current official guidance before trading.
