How to Swap BNB to USDT on Trust Wallet: A Detailed Guide
Swapping cryptocurrencies on Trust Wallet is a straightforward process, especially when you want to convert Binance Coin (BNB) to Tether (USDT). This guide will walk you through the entire process step by step, ensuring a seamless and secure transaction.
Understanding BNB and USDT
Before diving into the swapping process, it’s essential to understand what BNB and USDT are.
- BNB is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance platform, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange. It’s used for various purposes, including paying for transaction fees on the Binance Smart Chain, participating in governance, and accessing exclusive services.
- USDT is a stablecoin that is pegged to the US dollar. It’s designed to provide price stability and is often used as a medium of exchange in the cryptocurrency market.
Setting Up Trust Wallet
Before you can swap BNB to USDT, you need to have a Trust Wallet installed on your device. Here’s how to set it up:
- Download the Trust Wallet app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Open the app and create a new wallet by tapping on the “Create Wallet” button.
- Set a strong password and write down your 12-word recovery phrase. Keep this phrase safe and secure, as it’s the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access to your device.
- Confirm the recovery phrase by entering it in the correct order.
- Once your wallet is set up, you can add BNB to it by sending it from your Binance exchange account or by purchasing it on a supported exchange.

Now that you have BNB in your Trust Wallet, let’s proceed with the swapping process:
