How do you send USDT to another wallet?
To send USDT to another wallet you pick a network both sides support, paste the matching address, hold that chain's gas coin and confirm the transfer.
To send USDT to another wallet, you open your wallet or exchange, choose USDT, select the network the recipient uses, paste their address for that network and confirm. The part that trips people up is the network choice, because USDT is one token issued on many separate blockchains that cannot see each other.
Which USDT network should you choose?
As of November 2026, Tether lists USDT on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, TON, Aptos, NEAR, Polkadot AssetHub, Tezos, Liquid, Avalanche, Celo, Kaia and Kava. It says it no longer issues or redeems USDT on older chains such as Omni, Bitcoin Cash SLP, EOS, Kusama and Algorand.
Tether treats one USDT on any supported chain as equal to one USDT on another. That does not make the networks interchangeable for a transfer. The sender and receiver must use the same chain, and the address must match it: Tron addresses start with T, Ethereum-style addresses start with 0x. Our guide to USDT TRC20 vs ERC20 explains the two most common versions, and sending on the wrong network covers what goes wrong when they do not match.
How do you send USDT on the Tron network?
In a Tron wallet, pick USDT (TRC20), paste a T address and review the fee. Tron does not charge gas in the Ethereum sense. It meters Bandwidth and Energy. The Tron docs say each activated account gets 600 free Bandwidth points a day but no free Energy, and a USDT transfer is a smart contract call that uses Energy. Without staked or delegated Energy, the network burns TRX from your balance to cover it, so you still need some TRX in the wallet.
How do you send USDT on the Solana network?
On Solana, USDT is an SPL token, and fees are paid in SOL. Solana's own explainer gives a base fee of 0.000005 SOL per transaction, with optional priority fees during busy periods. If the recipient has never held USDT, a token account may need to be created for them, which Solana says takes a refundable deposit of about 0.002 SOL. Wallets usually handle this automatically and show it in the fee.
How do you send USDT from Coinbase to another wallet?
Coinbase's help pages describe the flow as: tap Send, choose the asset and amount, enter the recipient's crypto address or scan a QR code, then preview and confirm. For assets that live on more than one chain, Coinbase preselects a default network and lets you change it, asking you to confirm you understand the risk. It says both sides must use the same network.
Sends to outside addresses go on-chain and pay network fees, and Coinbase calls them irreversible. A small test send first, followed by the rest, is a common way people check the address and network before moving a larger amount. The general steps for any coin are in how to send and receive crypto.
