To swap TRX to BNB, choose TRX on Tron as “from” and BNB on BNB Chain as “to”, paste your 0x address and confirm one Tron transaction. On November 12, 2026, $1,000 of TRX (3,160.64 TRX) quoted 1.518227 BNB in about 83 seconds, before the 0.7% service fee. The biggest cost is not the swap but the Tron network cost, about $22.62 per swap in the quote, which makes small amounts expensive.
Key Takeaways
- Route type: NEAR Intents, the only route found; you send TRX on Tron and a solver pays BNB on BNB Chain.
- Time: about 83-85 seconds.
- Cost: a 0.37% route fee plus about $22.62 of Tron network cost that does not scale with size.
- Main catch: no route at $100; the flat Tron cost is 2.26% of $1,000 but 0.23% of $10,000.
What Is TRX?
TRX is the native coin of Tron, the network that carries most USDT transfers. TRX pays for bandwidth and energy, the resources every Tron transaction uses. LI.FI priced TRX at $0.3164 on November 12, 2026. If you need TRX itself rather than leaving it: USDT to TRX.
What Is BNB?
BNB is the gas coin of BNB Chain, an EVM network with 0x addresses. Receiving BNB gives you gas for BEP-20 tokens such as USDT on BNB Chain, which cost about a cent per transaction. LI.FI priced BNB at $655.56 in the same check.
How the TRX to BNB Swap Works
The swap shows a deposit address on Tron. You send TRX there in one transaction; NEAR Intents waits for Tron confirmation and pays BNB from its own liquidity to your BNB Chain address. You sign nothing on BNB Chain. The quoted Tron cost covers the network resources of that deposit; a wallet with staked TRX or rented energy may pay less.
Quotes by Amount (November 12, 2026)
| You send | TRX | You receive | BNB per 1,000 TRX | Tron cost | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 of TRX | 316.06 | no route found | - | - | - |
| $1,000 of TRX | 3,160.64 | 1.518227 BNB | 0.4804 | $22.62 | about 83 s |
| $10,000 of TRX | 31,606.4 | 15.148936 BNB | 0.4793 | $22.62 | about 85 s |
At reference prices 1,000 TRX equals 0.4826 BNB, so the route kept about 99.5% at $1,000 and 99.3% at $10,000 before the Tron cost. Add the flat $22.62 and the all-in cost is about 2.7% at $1,000 but only about 0.9% at $10,000. Quotes are LI.FI routes before the 0.7% Step Exchange service fee.
TRX to BNB or TRX to USDT First?
If you want BNB for gas and USDT for trading on BNB Chain, one swap to BNB and a second swap on BNB Chain is cheaper than two cross-chain swaps: every swap that leaves Tron pays the flat Tron cost again. If you only need dollars, swap TRX to USDT on Tron and keep it there, see TRX to USDT, or go the other way with BNB to TRX.
Step by Step
- Copy your BNB Chain address (starts with 0x).
- From: TRX on Tron. To: BNB on BNB Chain. Paste the address.
- Check the quote in BNB and the Tron network cost.
- Send TRX from your Tron wallet to the deposit address shown.
- Wait about 1.5 minutes for BNB to arrive.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Swapping small amounts: at $100 there was no route, and the flat Tron cost makes anything under about $1,000 expensive.
- Pasting a Tron address as the destination: BNB Chain needs a 0x address.
- Several small swaps instead of one: each pays the Tron cost again.
Other Tron routes: TRX to ETH, TRX to BTC, TRX to SOL.
