How to send crypto from Binance to Trust Wallet? How long does the transfer take?

Preparing Your Trust Wallet Address

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device and unlock it using your passcode or biometric authentication.

2. Tap the '+' icon located at the bottom right corner to add a new cryptocurrency asset.

3. Search for the specific coin or token you intend to receive — for example, BNB, ETH, or USDT — then select it from the list.

4. Tap “Receive” to display your wallet address and QR code. Ensure the network matches the one used on Binance — for instance, use the BSC network for BEP-20 tokens or Ethereum mainnet for ERC-20 assets.

5. Copy the address manually or scan the QR code directly when initiating the withdrawal on Binance.

Initiating the Withdrawal on Binance

1. Log into your Binance account via the web platform or mobile app.

2. Navigate to “Wallet” → “Spot Wallet”, then click “Withdraw”.

3. Select the cryptocurrency you wish to transfer from the dropdown menu.

4. Paste the Trust Wallet address you copied earlier into the recipient field.

5. Choose the correct blockchain network — mismatched networks (e.g., sending ERC-20 tokens to a BEP-20 address) will result in permanent loss.

6. Enter the amount, confirm two-factor authentication, and submit the request.

Network Selection and Fee Considerations

1. Binance supports multiple blockchains for many tokens — USDT, for example, can be sent via TRC-20, ERC-20, or BEP-20.

2. BEP-20 transfers typically incur lower fees and faster confirmation times compared to ERC-20 on Ethereum, especially during periods of high network congestion.

3. TRC-20 transactions often offer the lowest fee but require Trust Wallet to support Tron-based assets — verify compatibility before selecting.

4. Fees are deducted automatically by Binance and vary depending on the selected network and current validator demand.

5. Always double-check the network tag displayed next to the withdrawal address field on Binance — it must exactly match what Trust Wallet expects.

Tracking Transaction Status

1. After submission, Binance provides a transaction ID (TXID) — this is critical for verification.

2. Paste the TXID into a compatible blockchain explorer: BscScan for BEP-20, Etherscan for ERC-20, or Tronscan for TRC-20.

3. Confirm that the transaction shows “Success” and has received at least one confirmation on-chain.

4. Trust Wallet may take several seconds to minutes to reflect the incoming balance — this depends on node synchronization speed and network load.

5. If the transaction remains unconfirmed for over 30 minutes on BSC or Ethereum, check if gas fees were sufficient or if the network is experiencing delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I send BTC from Binance to a Trust Wallet BTC address using the Lightning Network?A: No. Trust Wallet does not support Lightning Network deposits. Only on-chain Bitcoin (BTC) transfers via the Bitcoin mainnet are accepted.

Q: Why did my USDT transfer show as “failed” on Binance but the funds never left my account?A: This usually occurs when the destination address is invalid or the selected network is unsupported by Trust Wallet. Binance cancels the withdrawal automatically and refunds the amount within minutes.

Q: Does Trust Wallet require manual token addition after receiving a BEP-20 token not listed by default?A: Yes. If the token doesn’t appear automatically, go to “Assets” → “+” → “Add Custom Token”, select BSC network, and input the contract address.

Q: What happens if I send ETH to a Trust Wallet address using the BEP-20 network?A: The transaction will fail or become irretrievable. ETH exists only on its native Ethereum chain. Sending ETH via BEP-20 is technically impossible — Binance blocks such attempts at the interface level.
