Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP to send and paste the Tether address that should receive funds on TRC-20 on Tron.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XRP to that destination. Once confirmations clear, USDT is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Still waiting on USDT? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
Receiving USDT on the correct chain
Your wallet must support the exact USDT network listed on the order.
If funds were sent on the wrong chain, recovery may not be possible — verify before you send.
When will USDT arrive?
Most TRC-20 payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash before opening a support ticket.
- Refresh or resync your wallet if the balance has not updated after a few minutes.
- Tron confirmations are typically much faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum mainnet.
Why traders swap into USDT
USDT offers dollar-like stability without leaving crypto — useful between trades or during volatile markets.
TRC-20 USDT on Tron keeps transfer fees low, making it a common destination after swapping from BTC, ETH, or alt L1s.
