How to change the currency in Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet lets you change the fiat display currency (like EUR or GBP) for your crypto balances, but your actual holdings remain unchanged—only the valuation view updates.

Understanding Currency Display in Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet does not allow users to change the base currency used for valuation in the same way traditional financial apps might. Instead, the app displays your cryptocurrency balances in USD (United States Dollar) by default, though it supports viewing values in other fiat currencies. This display setting affects how your total portfolio value appears across the app’s dashboard. The actual cryptocurrencies you own—such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Binance Coin (BNB)—are not altered by this setting. Only the fiat equivalent shown next to each asset changes based on your selected currency.

It is important to understand that Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning it does not hold your funds or manage exchange rates. The currency display feature relies on real-time market data pulled from public sources. The conversion rates are updated dynamically, ensuring that your portfolio valuation reflects current market conditions. This functionality is purely visual and does not affect transactions, sending, or receiving assets.

Accessing the Currency Settings Menu

To modify the fiat currency used for display in Trust Wallet, you must navigate to the app’s settings. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device. On the home screen, locate and tap the settings icon (gear symbol) typically found in the top-right corner of the interface. This will open the main settings menu where various preferences can be adjusted.

Within the settings menu, look for an option labeled "Currency" or "Display Currency". This section is specifically dedicated to selecting the fiat currency in which your crypto balances will be valued. Tapping this option will bring up a list of supported fiat currencies. The availability of certain currencies may depend on your region or the app version you are using.

Selecting Your Preferred Fiat Currency

Once you are in the currency selection menu, you will see a scrollable list of available fiat currencies. Common options include:

• EUR (Euro)
• GBP (British Pound)
• JPY (Japanese Yen)
• CAD (Canadian Dollar)
• AUD (Australian Dollar)

To change the display currency, simply tap on the desired option from the list. The app will immediately update all portfolio valuations to reflect the new selection. For example, if you switch from USD to EUR, the balance of your ETH holdings will now show its equivalent value in Euros instead of Dollars.

This change applies globally across the app. All screens that display fiat equivalents—such as the wallet overview, individual token pages, and transaction history—will now use the newly selected currency. No additional confirmation or restart is required. The update is instantaneous and persists until changed again.

Verifying the Currency Change Across the App

After selecting a new display currency, return to the main wallet screen to confirm the change. You should now see your total portfolio value labeled with the new currency code (e.g., € for EUR or £ for GBP). Each cryptocurrency in your wallet will also display its balance in the updated fiat equivalent next to the crypto amount.

To double-check, tap on any individual token to view its details. The price per unit and total value fields should now reflect the newly selected fiat currency. If the change does not appear immediately, ensure your device has an active internet connection, as exchange rate data requires online access. In rare cases, force-closing and reopening the app may be necessary to refresh the display.

This verification step ensures that the setting has been applied correctly and helps prevent confusion when reviewing balances or preparing transactions.

Managing Multiple Wallets and Currency Consistency

Trust Wallet supports multiple blockchain networks through a single interface, allowing users to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and many others. Regardless of the number of networks or tokens you hold, the currency display setting applies uniformly across all of them. This means your BTC, ETH, and USDT balances will all be shown in the same fiat currency.

If you use multiple devices or reinstall the app, the currency preference is not automatically synced unless you have enabled Trust Wallet Sync with a cloud account. Without syncing, you may need to manually reconfigure the display currency on each device. To avoid discrepancies, ensure that the same currency is selected across all installations where you access your wallet.

It is also worth noting that while the display currency affects valuation, it has no impact on gas fees, transaction costs, or network charges. These are always paid in the native cryptocurrency of the respective blockchain (e.g., BNB for BSC, ETH for Ethereum).

Updating Trust Wallet for Full Currency Support

To ensure access to the latest currency options and accurate exchange rate data, keep your Trust Wallet app updated. Older versions may lack support for certain fiat currencies or display outdated conversion rates. Navigate to your device’s app store—Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS—and search for Trust Wallet. If an update is available, tap "Update" to install the latest version.

After updating, revisit the currency settings to confirm that all desired options are present. Developers regularly add new features and improve localization, including expanded fiat support. Running the most recent version ensures compatibility with global financial data sources and enhances overall reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I display different currencies for different tokens in Trust Wallet?

No, Trust Wallet applies a single fiat currency setting across all tokens and networks. You cannot assign EUR to Bitcoin and JPY to Ethereum simultaneously. The selected currency is global and affects every asset in your portfolio.

Why does my balance show a different value than other platforms?

Discrepancies may occur due to differences in exchange rate sources or timing. Trust Wallet pulls live data from aggregated market feeds. Slight delays or variations compared to centralized exchanges are normal and do not indicate an error in your balance.

Does changing the display currency affect the amount of crypto I own?

No. Changing the display currency only alters the fiat equivalent shown. Your actual cryptocurrency holdings—such as 0.05 BTC or 2 ETH—remain unchanged. This setting is purely visual and does not modify your wallet’s contents.

What should I do if my preferred currency is not listed?

If your country’s fiat currency is missing, ensure your app is updated to the latest version. Trust Wallet may not support every national currency. In such cases, select the closest major alternative (e.g., USD or EUR) or check for regional updates from the developers.
