How to buy TRX with USDT in Trust Wallet?
#
Introduction
Let's consider the following scenario: you have set up Trust Wallet and received some USDT, but you cannot send this USDT anywhere because you don't have any TRX.
#
The problem
Sending funds on blockchains requires you to pay the so-called “network fee” - a certain amount of money that you pay to the blockchain for processing your transaction. Almost always you pay this fee in a specific separate coin. In case of USDT TRC-20 this coin is TRX.
So, in order to send USDT it is mandatory that we have TRX in our wallet. But how do you purchase it? Often times this becomes a big problem for people.
#
Solution
So, there are many possible ways to acquire TRX - such as Centralized Exchanges, Decentralized Exchanges or Peer-to-Peer exchanges. However they all are quite complex and require KYC or charge high fees.
In this detailed guide we will explore how to exchange your Trust Wallet USDT into TRX without any complicated services. We will utilize buytrx.org website to achieve our goal.
