Risk inventory, honestly: peg risk (USDT trades within a hair of $1.00 through every market cycle; for minutes-long remittance exposure it's negligible), transfer risk (misaddressed or wrong-network sends — eliminated by the test-transfer habit and address QR codes), platform risk (use a compliant, licensed platform on both ends), and the risk that doesn't exist: no agent handling cash, no clerk mistyping an account number, no parcel of dollars in anyone's drawer.
Yes, with two disciplines: match the network (TRC-20 to TRC-20) and send a small test first. USDT has held its dollar peg since 2015 with ~$118B in circulation, transfers are cryptographically final, and the Nigeria-side platform is KYC-regulated.
