Binance Wallet has introduced the ability to pay blockchain transaction fees using USDT across four major networks, removing one of the most persistent usability hurdles facing users of multichain crypto wallets.
The feature, announced September 25, is available on BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana and TRON. Users with USDT in Binance Wallet can select the stablecoin as their gas-payment method rather than first acquiring the blockchain’s native asset.
Traditionally, transactions require users to hold the network’s designated gas asset. An Ethereum user holding USDT, for example, still needs ETH to transfer that USDT or interact with a decentralized application. BNB Smart Chain requires BNB, Solana requires SOL and TRON typically requires network resources ultimately associated with TRX.
Binance Wallet’s new system abstracts that requirement from the user.
It does not change the underlying blockchain protocols or make Ethereum, Solana and other networks natively accept USDT for transaction fees. Instead, Binance Wallet handles the gas-payment process so the user can fund the cost using USDT.
Four Networks Supported at Launch
Binance’s updated network-fee documentation gives users two alternatives when they do not hold enough native gas tokens.
The first is paying directly with USDT held inside Binance Wallet. The second allows eligible users to cover fees using supported assets in their Binance Exchange Spot, Funding or Earn accounts. Both methods currently support BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana and TRON. Exchange-account fee payments can draw from balances including BNB, USDT, USDC, ETH and SOL.
Network fees themselves remain dynamic and are determined by the relevant blockchain rather than Binance. Binance Wallet calculates an appropriate network fee according to current conditions before the transaction is submitted.
The change addresses a common multichain problem: users can possess sufficient value to complete a transaction while still being unable to move their assets because they lack a small amount of the correct native token.
For users operating across several chains, that can require maintaining separate balances of ETH, BNB, SOL and TRX solely for transaction fees. USDT effectively becomes a common user-facing payment asset across the four supported networks.
TRON Gets Separate Zero-Fee Promotion
Binance Wallet has introduced an additional incentive for TRON users. From September 23 through December 22, 2026, eligible transfers of USDT and other TRC-20 tokens through Binance Wallet can receive zero gas fees under a promotion supported by TRON DAO. Availability is limited by the promotion’s allocated quota.
After the promotional period, Binance says qualifying transfers will receive a discounted 1 USDT transaction fee.
Users making these transfers select “Network Fee Payer” during transaction signing and choose USDT as the fee-payment option before confirming. Gas abstraction has become an increasingly important component of wallet design as crypto applications attempt to provide experiences closer to conventional financial apps.
Requiring users to understand which native asset powers every blockchain creates friction particularly when receiving stablecoins. Someone receiving USDT on Ethereum, for example, can hold substantial dollar value but remain unable to transfer it without obtaining ETH separately.
Binance Wallet’s approach moves that complexity away from the user without changing how the underlying network ultimately settles fees.
The distinction is important: native gas tokens have not been eliminated from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain or TRON.
Instead, Binance Wallet is abstracting their requirement at the interface level and allowing USDT to serve as the user’s payment method.
For a wallet increasingly designed around multichain activity, that turns four separate gas-token requirements into a single stablecoin-denominated experience.
