Withdrawal Chain · Fee Cheat Sheet
When withdrawing USDT you're asked to "choose a network/chain." Below we recommend one for your situation, then give you a comparison table for the three main chains. The single most important thing: the sender and the receiver must use the same chain — pick the wrong one and the coins may be gone for good.
The "network" you choose when withdrawing on an exchange must match the chain of the receiving address (both TRC20, or both ERC20). If the chain doesn't match and the address format happens to be accepted, the assets can end up somewhere you can't control, with essentially no way back. When in doubt, send the smallest possible test amount first.
| Chain (network) | Fee to withdraw USDT (Binance, read 28 October 2026) | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRC20 Tron | 1.5 USDT | Depends on on-chain confirmations and platform processing; no fixed time | When the receiver only accepts USDT on Tron; on these readings, the highest fee of the three |
| ERC20 Ethereum | 0.6 USDT | Confirmations slow down when Ethereum is congested | Apps on Ethereum, or when the other side only accepts USDT on Ethereum |
| BEP20 BNB Chain | 0.01 USDT | Depends on on-chain confirmations and platform processing; no fixed time | When you want to pay less in fees; check the other side supports BEP20 first |
The fees in the table are what Binance showed for USDT withdrawals on 28 October 2026; the same reading put the SOL chain at 0.3 USDT. The minimum withdrawal, as read in September 2026, was 5 USDT on the three chains in the table and on SOL. Fees can change at any time, so go by the fee shown on your withdrawal page at the time. Different platforms support different chains, so be guided by the options each side actually offers.
