Swap USDT from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum

Swap USDT from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum. You send Binance-Peg USDT on BNB Chain and you receive native ETH on Ethereum.

The peg is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, 18 decimals, approved on BNB Chain. BscScan shows it. Chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The payout marker is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which on Ethereum means native ETH, the gas coin. Etherscan shows that balance, not a token page. Chain id 1. This is not WETH and not a dollar token.

Selling Tether for spendable ether

You leave a peg that tracks a dollar and you take ETH exposure. The only input is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. USDC and DAI pegs on BNB Chain are different contracts. Keep BNB so the approval can be mined. If you wanted USDC or DAI on Ethereum, this payout is the wrong tool.

Native ETH uses the placeholder

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is not WETH and not a contract with holders on Etherscan. On this destination it means ETH. That ETH can pay later fees on chain id 1. Do not search the placeholder as if it were an ERC-20. Do not confuse it with BNB just because BNB Chain uses the same marker for its own gas coin.

WETH and USDC would be the wrong result

Pools that want the WETH contract need the other page. Desks that want Circle USDC need the other page. Staying on BNB Chain is right when you only needed to exit USDT into BNB. The bridge guide is worth reading if this is your first hop onto Ethereum. No ETH price is guaranteed.

Leave BNB on the source wallet

Spending every BNB and leaving only the USDT peg will stall the approval. The ETH you receive does not refund that BNB. Read the minimum ETH against the Tether you give up. Both the 3 second BNB Chain block and the 12 second Ethereum block are chain facts, not a promise that the swap is finished. Sign on chain id 56 only.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap USDT from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum?

The peg is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, 18 decimals, approved on BNB Chain. BscScan shows it.

Does receiving ETH mean I can skip holding ETH first?

Yes for the destination. Native ETH from this route can pay Ethereum gas after it arrives. You do not need a prior ETH balance for that credit to be usable. You do need BNB on chain id 56 to approve 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. Etherscan shows the ETH. The marker is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE.

Is this the same as receiving WETH?

No. WETH is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 and cannot pay gas until you unwrap it, which costs ETH you would already need. This page pays the gas coin itself. If a contract on Ethereum demands the WETH token, you are on the wrong route. BscScan is only the source side.

Can the ETH amount change after BNB Chain looks finished?

The source block is about 3 seconds. That is not the whole route, and ETH can move while the bridge is open. This page does not promise a price or a completion time. The minimum ETH on the quote is the number to accept or reject. If you have not signed, refresh when the quote expires.
