About Tether
Tether (USDT) is a dollar stablecoin designed to stay at $1. In Nigeria and much of Africa it works as a "crypto dollar", so its naira price is a useful read on the street exchange rate.
On 14 Nov 2026, 11:48 UTC one USDT was worth $0.9990, up 0.00% in 24 hours, with $163.63 million traded across the exchanges we track. The dollar price is the median of 2 venues, so one exchange's glitch can't skew it.
Nigerian exchanges priced USDT at ₦1,405.22, 3.9% above the dollar price converted at the official CBN rate (₦1,352.58). That gap is the local premium, and it mostly reflects demand for dollars.

Why is USDT more expensive in naira than the official rate suggests?
Local crypto exchanges price USDT in naira from local supply and demand. When dollars are scarce at the official rate, buyers pay more naira, so the local price runs above dollar price × CBN rate. The premium shrinks when FX is easier to get.
Is it legal to buy Tether in Nigeria?
Yes. The CBN lifted its 2021 restriction on banks serving crypto firms in December 2023, and the SEC now licenses digital asset exchanges under the Investments and Securities Act 2025. Use a licensed exchange and keep records for tax.
