The Blockchain.com app has two places your USDT can sit, and they send differently. Work out which one holds your USDT first, because the steps and the fees depend on it.
The custodial Trading Account uses a Withdraw button and can put a holding period on recently bought crypto. The DeFi Wallet is self-custody, so you pick the network and pay gas in that network’s coin.
Send on TRC20 or ERC20 (or BEP20 from the DeFi Wallet) to a matching Snapiro address. This post sticks to the Blockchain.com side; for the rate and sale, see how to sell USDT for naira.
Trading Account or DeFi Wallet: which one is yours?
Blockchain.com runs both inside the same app. If you bought USDT on Blockchain.com or received it from another user of the exchange, it’s most likely in the Trading Account, where Blockchain.com holds the coins for you. If you created a wallet with your own secret recovery phrase and received USDT into it, it’s in the DeFi Wallet.
| Trading Account | DeFi Wallet | |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the coins | Blockchain.com | You (your recovery phrase) |
| Button to start | Withdraw | Send |
| Network fee paid in | Shown on the withdrawal screen | The network’s own coin (TRX, BNB or ETH) |
| Holding periods | Possible after a card or bank purchase | No, but you need gas |
| Identity prompts | Travel Rule questions possible | No |
Labels in the app can change between versions, so if a button reads slightly differently on your phone, go by the side of the app you’re in.
Pick a network both sides support
Snapiro accepts USDT on TRC20 (Tron), BEP20 (BNB Smart Chain) and ERC20 (Ethereum). Nothing else. Blockchain.com’s help pages list Ethereum, Tron and Solana as networks for USDT withdrawals from the Trading Account, and the DeFi Wallet supports a longer list that includes Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and several Ethereum layer 2s.
That gives you these safe pairs:
- Tron on Blockchain.com to a TRC20 address on Snapiro. Usually the cheapest.
- BNB Smart Chain in the DeFi Wallet to a BEP20 address on Snapiro.
- Ethereum on Blockchain.com to an ERC20 address on Snapiro. Works, but gas usually costs more.
Never pick Solana, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum or Optimism for a Snapiro address. Those USDT transfers won’t be credited and may be lost. Snapiro’s list is in which coins and networks Snapiro supports.
Get your Snapiro address ready
In Snapiro, open Home › All wallets › USDT, tap Deposit and choose the Network. If no address shows, tap Create address; it usually takes under a minute, so pull down to refresh. Here’s the full guide to creating a deposit address. Copy it with the Copy button, not by typing.
Sending from the Trading Account
- Open your Trading Account and tap Withdraw at the top of the wallet dashboard.
- Choose USDT, then choose the network (Tron or Ethereum) when the app asks.
- Paste your Snapiro address. If there’s a destination dropdown, choose Other Destination, since you’re sending to an outside wallet.
- Answer any Travel Rule questions about who owns the receiving wallet. If it’s your own Snapiro account, say so.
- Check the fee and the amount that will arrive, then confirm.
Why the app won’t let you withdraw everything
Blockchain.com may place a holding period on crypto you bought recently with a card or bank transfer. While it lasts you can trade inside the account, but you can’t send that crypto to an outside wallet. The app shows when the funds become available. Wait it out; there’s nothing Snapiro can do to release it.
Sending from the DeFi Wallet
Open the DeFi Wallet, tap Send and choose USDT on the network you want. If you hold USDT on more than one network, each shows as its own balance, so tap the one that matches your Snapiro address.
Before you send, check you have the network’s own coin for gas: TRX for Tron, BNB for BNB Smart Chain, ETH for Ethereum. Token transfers can’t be paid for in USDT, so without gas the send will fail even with plenty of USDT. Paste the Snapiro address, enter the amount, review the fee and confirm.
One trap here: BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum addresses look the same, both starting with 0x. The app won’t stop you sending BEP20 USDT to an address you created as ERC20 on Snapiro. Match the network, not just the address format.
Finding the transaction hash
Open the send in your activity list and look in its details for the transaction hash or a link to a block explorer. If you can’t find it there, search your Snapiro deposit address on the explorer for that network (Tronscan for TRC20, BscScan for BEP20, Etherscan for ERC20), and your transfer will show with its hash.
Keep that hash. It tells you whether the transfer has confirmed, and it’s what support will ask for. Snapiro’s guide to copying a transaction ID shows where the receiving side keeps it too.
From USDT to naira in your bank
The USDT shows in Snapiro after the network confirms it. There’s no minimum deposit. If it’s slow, check the hash on the explorer, then read why a deposit hasn’t been credited.
Sell from Sell Crypto on the home screen and confirm with your PIN. The naira lands in your naira wallet straight away, with no separate selling fee because the margin is inside the rate. You can see that rate before you send on the rate calculator or the USDT page.
To withdraw, you need a verified BVN or NIN and a bank account in the same name. The minimum is ₦1,000, each withdrawal costs ₦200, and it’s sent to your bank within 60 seconds. See the full list on the fees page.

Your questions, answered briefly
Can I send BEP20 USDT from the Trading Account?
Check the network list the app shows you when you withdraw. If BNB Smart Chain isn’t there, use Tron instead, or move the USDT to your DeFi Wallet first and send from there.
I sent USDT on Solana by mistake. Can Snapiro credit it?
USDT on Solana isn’t supported, so it won’t be credited to your Snapiro balance. Snapiro can’t recover crypto sent on the wrong network or to the wrong address, so treat those coins as lost.
Do I need to verify on Snapiro to receive the USDT?
No. You can receive USDT without verification. A verified BVN or NIN is needed when you sell it, add a bank account and withdraw naira.
Before you tap Withdraw or Send in Blockchain.com, get the Snapiro app and create the matching deposit address.
