Swap BNB from BNB Chain to USDT on Arbitrum One

Swap BNB from BNB Chain to USDT on Arbitrum One. You send native BNB on BNB Chain and you receive Tether USDT on Arbitrum One.

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on the source means BNB. No ERC-20 approval. BscScan records the native send on chain id 56, blocks about 3 seconds. Keep BNB for the fee. Tether on Arbitrum One is 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9. Match it on Arbiscan. Chain id 42161, not Nova. USDT will not pay ETH gas, and the ARB token will not either.

You sell the gas coin, not a peg

This page takes native BNB only. The ETH peg and the USDT peg on BNB Chain stay put. There is no approval step for BNB. You still cannot spend the last BNB, because the network fee has to fit in the remainder. If the balance you meant was the peg, open that page instead.

Tether on One is not mainnet Tether

Match 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 on Arbiscan. Etherscan will not show this payout, and Nova will not either. It is Tether, not Circle's native USDC. The token does not include ETH. Add ETH or the USDT sits in a wallet that cannot pay for a transfer.

USDC, ETH, and ARB if Tether was not the ask

Circle's native USDC is a different contract. Native ETH is the gas-coin payout. ARB is the governance token. The ETH peg is a different input. If you wanted USDT without leaving BNB Chain, buy it there. BNB Chain is what you are leaving. The quote does not freeze the Tether.

Source speed is not Arbiscan's clock

Chain id 56 can move in about 3 seconds. That fact does not time the bridge and does not lock a price. Read the minimum USDT. Sign only on BNB Chain. When you look for the tokens, the wallet has to be on Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, and it has to hold ETH.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap BNB from BNB Chain to USDT on Arbitrum One?

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on the source means BNB. No ERC-20 approval. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Why does the BNB address look like an ETH marker?

Routers use 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE for the gas coin in front of you. On BNB Chain that is BNB, and BscScan shows a native send. The payout is not that marker. It is Tether, 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9, on Arbiscan, chain id 42161. There is no ERC-20 approval on the BNB. Nova is a different chain.

Does this USDT use 18 decimals like the BNB Chain peg?

Read the quote rather than a raw integer. This page pays Arbitrum One Tether, and it is not spending the 18-decimal USDT peg on BNB Chain. You still need ETH on chain id 42161 to move the tokens. The ARB token will not cover that fee. Arbiscan is the check.

What if the quote says USDT and I needed USDC?

Do not sign. This route pays Tether only, contract 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9. Native USDC is a different page from the same BNB balance. Treating them as the same dollar is the wrong tool. Check Arbiscan before you send the tokens onward. Look again.
