Selling crypto for naira for the first time can feel like a lot of new words. It is really three moves: send, sell, withdraw. This guide explains the words you will meet, the steps in order, and the mistakes worth avoiding.
| Word | What it means | Why it matters when you sell |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet | Where your crypto is held: an app like Trust Wallet, or an account on an exchange | It is where the send starts |
| Address | A long string that identifies where crypto should go | Copy and paste it, never type it |
| Network | The blockchain a coin travels on, such as TRON or Ethereum | Both ends must match, or the coin can be lost |
| Network fee | What the blockchain charges to move coins, paid in its own coin | You need a little of that coin to send |
| Confirmation | The network recording your transfer | Your deposit shows once it is confirmed |
| Memo or tag | An extra note some networks need | Include it only if the deposit screen shows one |
Get it from Google Play or the App Store only, and set up your account.
Each coin has its own address. The deposit screen in the app lists the networks Yesa accepts for each coin. Match the network on both ends, and send a small test amount first.
Your wallet or exchange asks for the address, the network and the amount, and shows its network fee.
The network confirms the transfer, then it shows in your Yesa wallet.
The naira amount appears before you confirm, and that is what the sale settles at.
Send the naira to any Nigerian bank account in your name.
Yesa buys USDT, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB, USDC, Litecoin (LTC) and TRON (TRX) for naira, with zero sell fees, and the same app buys gift cards and pays bills. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20), Solana, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Base and Arbitrum; for the other coins, the deposit screen lists the networks. The whole list is on coins and networks Yesa supports.
If you are holding the coin in a particular wallet, there is a guide for the first hop: Trust Wallet, Exodus, Binance, Bybit and Coinbase.
USDT exists on several networks. Choose the one your deposit screen lists and pick the same name on the sending side.
Sending USDT on TRON needs a little TRX; on Ethereum it needs ETH. Without it the send will not go.
Send a small amount first, watch it arrive, then send the rest.
If you ever sell to a person, wait until the naira is in your own bank app. Screenshots and SMS alerts can be faked.
No real support agent, from any app, will ever ask for it. Anyone who does wants your coins.
Prices move all day, so look before you send. Daily figures for the main coins are on the rate pages, such as USDT to naira and Bitcoin to naira. In the app, the naira amount shown before you confirm is what you receive for the sale. Keep your own record of what you sell, since profits may be taxable. This guide explains how to move and sell crypto you already hold. It is not a view on whether to sell, hold or buy any coin, and nothing here is financial advice.
Install Yesa from the official store, open the deposit address for your coin, send the crypto on a network the deposit screen lists, sell at the naira figure on screen and withdraw to any Nigerian bank account.
USDT, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), BNB, USDC, Litecoin (LTC) and TRON (TRX).
It is the blockchain a coin travels on. The same coin, such as USDT, can live on several. The sending side and the receiving side must use the same one, or the coin can be lost.
Yesa has zero sell fees, on crypto and on gift cards. Moving the coin to Yesa costs the network fee your wallet or exchange shows before you send.
Yes, to any Nigerian bank account in your name, including OPay, Kuda and Moniepoint.
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.
