Transfer USDT TRC20 to ERC20 on Binance: Full Guide

Why Use Binance to Convert TRC20 to ERC20?

Using a centralized exchange like Binance is the recommended method for most users because it is straightforward, regulated, and does not require interacting directly with smart contracts. Binance acts as an intermediary: it receives your TRC20 deposit and sends out ERC20 tokens on withdrawal, handling the network conversion internally.

Prerequisites

  • A verified Binance account with identity verification completed.
  • A TRON-compatible wallet holding USDT TRC20 (e.g., TronLink, Trust Wallet).
  • An ERC20-compatible destination wallet (e.g., MetaMask, hardware wallet).
  • Enough TRX in your TRON wallet to cover the network fee for the outgoing transaction.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Deposit USDT via TRC20 Network

  • Log into Binance and go to Wallet > Overview or Fiat and Spot.
  • Click Deposit and search for USDT.
  • Under "Select Network," choose TRC20 (TRON).
  • Copy the deposit address shown. It will start with a "T".
  • Send your USDT TRC20 from your external wallet to this address. One confirmation is typically required.

Step 2: Withdraw USDT via ERC20 Network

  • Once your deposit is confirmed, go to Wallet > Withdraw.
  • Search for USDT and click Withdraw.
  • Under "Select Network," choose ERC20 (Ethereum).
  • Enter your destination ERC20 wallet address. Double-check this address carefully.
  • Enter the withdrawal amount. Note that the ERC20 withdrawal fee will be deducted.
  • Confirm with your 2FA method and submit the withdrawal.

Fees on Binance

Binance charges a flat USDT ERC20 withdrawal fee. This fee is updated regularly based on Ethereum gas prices. Check the Binance fee schedule for the current amount before withdrawing. The TRC20 deposit is generally free or carries only a nominal network fee.

How Long Does It Take?

TRC20 deposits on Binance typically confirm within 1–3 minutes. ERC20 withdrawals are processed within a few minutes by Binance internally, after which the Ethereum transaction may take an additional 1–5 minutes to confirm depending on gas fees.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not send TRC20 USDT to the ERC20 deposit address — always select the correct network.
  • Do not withdraw to a TRC20 wallet address when selecting the ERC20 network.
  • Always double-check the destination address character by character, or use the QR code scan option.
  • Do not use a minimum withdrawal amount below the fee, as you would receive nothing.
