Bitcoin in Trust Wallet sits at a Bitcoin address, moves on the Bitcoin network and pays its fee in BTC. To turn it into naira, you send it to an app that buys Bitcoin, then sell and withdraw. Here is what is different about doing that with BTC.
A Bitcoin fee depends on the size of the transaction in data and on how busy the network is, not on how much BTC you move. Sending a tiny amount can cost the same fee as sending a large one, which is why many small sends waste money.
Bitcoin adds a new block roughly every ten minutes on average. Your transfer waits for a block, and the receiving side waits for the network to confirm it before crediting. A busy network with a low fee can wait longer.
A multi-chain wallet can also hold tokens that track Bitcoin's price on other chains. Those are not the same as BTC on the Bitcoin network. Send from the Bitcoin line, on a network your Yesa deposit screen lists.
| Starts with | Name | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Legacy | The oldest format. Still valid; transactions from it tend to be larger and cost more. |
| 3 | Script (P2SH) | Often used by older wallets and some exchanges. Valid. |
| bc1q | Native SegWit | Trust Wallet's guide describes bc1 addresses as Native SegWit, the format that made Bitcoin fees cheaper. |
| bc1p | Taproot | The newest format. |
You do not need to choose a format. Copy the exact address your Yesa BTC deposit screen shows and paste it whole. If an address does not start with one of these, it is not a Bitcoin address, and you should not send BTC to it.
Choose BTC in Yesa and copy the address shown. 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.
Choose the Bitcoin line itself, on the Bitcoin network, not a Bitcoin-linked token on another chain.
Paste it, then compare the first and last characters with the Yesa screen.
Trust Wallet shows it on the confirmation screen, in BTC. On a small amount it can be a large share.
The deposit shows in Yesa once the Bitcoin network has confirmed it. That takes longer than a stablecoin transfer.
Tap Sell, check the naira figure on screen, confirm, and withdraw to any Nigerian bank account.
Two things decide what you receive: the naira figure on screen when you confirm, and what the network fee took on the way. You control the second more than you think. Move your BTC in one send rather than several, and avoid sending when the fee Trust Wallet shows is unusually high.
Today's figures for common amounts such as 0.001 BTC are on the Bitcoin to naira rate page. Bitcoin's price moves while your transfer confirms, so the figure that counts is the one on your screen when you press Sell. 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.
Copy your Yesa BTC deposit address, send the BTC from the Bitcoin line in Trust Wallet, wait for the network to confirm it, then sell at the naira figure on screen and withdraw to any Nigerian bank account.
Bitcoin blocks come about every ten minutes on average, and a deposit is credited once the network has confirmed it. A low fee on a busy day can wait longer. The Yesa app shows the deposit status as it goes.
Because Bitcoin fees depend on transaction size and network demand, not on the amount. One larger send is usually cheaper than several small ones.
Not once it is broadcast. Crypto transfers are irreversible, so check the address and the network before you confirm.
Only on a network your Yesa BTC deposit screen lists. A token that tracks Bitcoin on another chain is not the same as BTC on the Bitcoin network.
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.
