Binance Wallet Adds USDT Gas Payments on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana and TRON
Binance Wallet now lets users pay gas fees in USDT on BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana and TRON instead of holding each chain's native token.
Why it matters
A wallet holding only stablecoins can now move USDT without first buying a small balance of a native token. Binance says the change alters how the bill is settled rather than what it costs, and the underlying charge still tracks congestion on Ethereum Virtual Machine networks and Solana, so fee levels are unchanged. Binance has not said which networks come next or when.

What happened
Binance Wallet now accepts USDT for blockchain gas fees on BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana and TRON, according to the wallet's updated support documentation reported by Crypto.News, Crypto News Flash and Crypto News. Crypto.News says the option went live as of Sept. 25 and that the wallet can also draw the fee from eligible Binance Exchange balances, while Crypto News Flash describes a Network Fee Payer interface that shows the estimated fee before a transaction is confirmed. Before the change, sending on those chains required BNB, ETH, SOL or TRX in the wallet, so a holder of only USDT could not move it; Crypto News Flash notes that users still have to obtain a gas token or USDT if no supported fee method is available. Binance says the wallet prices fees off current blockchain conditions, that the fee still goes to validators rather than to Binance, and that more networks will be supported without a timetable. TRON users can pay zero gas fees through Dec. 22 under a separate promotion, which Crypto.News gives an end date for and Crypto News Flash describes without one. Bitcoin Insider reported the same four-network feature but said the networks were not named in the coverage it drew on, crediting CryptoBriefing, Coinfomania and crypto.news.
