TRON is the network most Nigerian USDT travels on, and TRX is the coin that pays for those transfers. Buy TRX with naira on Yesa and it lands in your Yesa wallet.
Open the Yesa app to see exactly what your naira buys.
Sending TRC-20 USDT from your own wallet costs TRX, not USDT.
A transfer on TRON uses up two resources, energy and bandwidth. A wallet that has neither burns TRX to pay for them, so a wallet holding USDT on TRON with no TRX usually cannot send it. That is the most common reason people here buy TRX: a small amount to unlock the USDT they already have.
Inside Yesa you do not need TRX to sell or move USDT; it only matters for a wallet you control yourself, such as Trust Wallet or TronLink.
| TRX | USDT on TRON (TRC-20) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The network's own coin | A dollar token that runs on TRON |
| Price | Moves with the market | Aims to hold one dollar |
| Pays network fees | Yes | No, the wallet still needs TRX |
| Buy it if | You need fees, or want TRX itself | You want dollars that move cheaply |
Both can be bought with naira on Yesa: buy USDT with naira. This page explains how buying works on Yesa. It is not a view on whether to buy any coin, and nothing here is financial advice.
The same four steps for every coin, with the figure on screen before you commit.
Buy sits next to Sell on the home screen. Pick TRON from the list.
The screen shows roughly how much TRX that buys, the rate per coin, and the smallest and largest amount allowed right now.
From your Yesa naira balance, or by bank transfer of the exact total from an account in your own name. Confirm with your password or transaction PIN, whichever your app asks for. Nothing is charged until you transfer, and cancelling costs nothing.
Straight away from a naira balance, a few minutes after a bank transfer. The TRX is then yours to hold, swap, send or sell back.
What one TRX pays when you sell is at TRON to naira rate, and the market price is at TRON price in naira. Selling it back works the same way as every other coin on Yesa, with zero sell fees and the naira paid to any Nigerian bank account.
In Yesa, tap Buy, choose TRX and type the naira amount. Pay from your Yesa naira balance or by bank transfer from an account in your name, confirm with your password or transaction PIN, and the TRX arrives in your Yesa wallet.
On TRON, the most common reason is no TRX in the wallet. TRC-20 transfers are paid for in TRX, so add a small amount and try again.
No. TRX is TRON's own coin with a market price. USDT on TRON is a dollar token that travels on the network and still needs TRX for fees.
The resources a TRON transaction uses. If your wallet does not have them, it burns TRX to pay instead, and the wallet shows the cost before you confirm.
The calculator at the top of this page gives a rough figure, and the app shows the rate per TRX and the amount before you confirm. On a bank transfer the final amount is fixed when your transfer arrives.
Almost always one of three things: it came from an account in someone else's name, the amount was rounded instead of exact, or the single use account had already stopped accepting transfers. Nothing is charged until you transfer, and cancelling costs nothing.
Yes. Buying, holding and selling cryptocurrency is legal for individuals in Nigeria. Digital assets are recognised under the Investments and Securities Act 2025, and the Securities and Exchange Commission regulates digital asset services. Crypto is not legal tender, and profits from trading may be taxable, so keep your own records of what you buy and sell. This is general information rather than legal or tax advice; the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria publish the current position.
