The official USDT BEP20 contract address on Binance Smart Chain is:
0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955
This address uniquely identifies the Tether token on BSC. Always verify it on BSCScan (bscscan.com) before interacting with any USDT BEP20 token to avoid scams involving counterfeit tokens with similar names.
Every token on Binance Smart Chain is identified by its smart contract address. The contract address acts as the token's permanent on-chain identity. Scammers frequently deploy fake tokens with the name "USDT" or similar — the only way to confirm authenticity is to check the contract address against Tether's official documentation or a trusted blockchain explorer like BSCScan.
To add USDT BEP20 to MetaMask: ensure MetaMask is connected to BNB Smart Chain, click "Import tokens," select "Custom Token," paste the address 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955, and confirm. The symbol (USDT) and decimals (18) will auto-fill.
To add USDT BEP20 to Trust Wallet: open your wallet, tap the filter icon, select "Add Custom Token," set the network to BNB Smart Chain, paste the contract address, and save. Your USDT balance will appear immediately if you hold any tokens.
When withdrawing USDT from an exchange like Binance to an external wallet, always select the BEP20 (BSC) network explicitly. Your receiving wallet address will start with "0x" — the same format used for all BSC addresses. Do not use a TRC20 or ERC20 address for BEP20 transfers.
