Trust Wallet is one of the most popular non-custodial wallets, allowing you to store, send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies and NFTs, and supporting many blockchain networks, including TRON (TRX).
This article reviews the available and relevant ways to top up TRX in Trust Wallet, taking into account the realities of 2025.
Method 1. Funding via P2P on an exchange
This is one of the simplest and most straightforward methods. You need to buy USDT for rubles via P2P on a major exchange, swap USDT for TRX, and withdraw TRX to Trust Wallet on the TRON network.
We will look at the implementation using Bybit as an example, as it is one of the most popular exchanges, especially among users from Russia.
Sequence of actions:
- Go to the P2P trading section on Bybit, then purchase the required amount of USDT for rubles. To protect yourself, pay attention to the seller’s rating and follow the prescribed steps when buying.
- On Spot, swap USDT for TRX.
- In Trust Wallet, open the TRX asset, tap “Receive,” and copy the address.
- On Bybit, initiate a withdrawal to this address. To do this, go to “Assets” → “Withdraw,” select the currency (TRX in our case), then paste your Trust Wallet address, choose the TRON (TRC-20) network type, and specify the required amount. Bybit will then show you the withdrawal fee and the final amount. Tap “Withdraw.”
- Check the balance in Trust. If you did everything correctly, enjoy your success.
Advantages of this method include the security of the transfer itself (from an exchange to a wallet), as well as convenient purchasing and a competitive rate. As for considerations (I wouldn’t call them disadvantages), note the need to register and have KYC on the exchange, and the need to be careful when making a P2P purchase.
Method 2. Exchange via an aggregator
Another relevant method if you want to buy TRX for rubles and the first method does not suit you for some reason. In this case, you can purchase TRX directly without having an exchange account or doing a P2P deal.
Let’s consider this option using BestChange as an example. This is a website that aggregates data on exchange services and cryptocurrency exchange rates.
The principle of operation is quite simple: the aggregator shows a list of verified exchangers, rates, reserves, and reviews. For purchases via Russian bank cards there are dedicated pages and selections.
Sequence of actions:
- In the aggregator, choose RUB → TRON (TRX), sort by rate and reserve.
- Enter your TRX address from Trust Wallet (Receive) and your payment details, and follow the exchanger’s instructions.
- Wait for the crediting — the transaction will appear in Trust Wallet automatically.
Of course, this is a general sequence, because each exchanger will have a slightly different flow. As a rule, you will need to register on the platform, then enter your Trust Wallet details, the required amount and currency (TRX in our case), and pay in rubles. After that, the operation will be completed and you will receive TRX to your account.
Among the advantages of this method, I note the ability to pay in rubles and a wide choice of services. Among the drawbacks, the purchase rate is usually higher than via P2P.
Method 3. Transfer from another wallet
It hardly gets simpler: if you need TRX and you have acquaintances who use cryptocurrency, you can ask them to send it to you. In this case, the steps are as simple as possible:
- Copy your Trust Wallet address or QR code and send it to your acquaintance.
- Wait for TRX to arrive in your account.
Method 4. Do without buying TRX
If your main goal in obtaining TRX is to make a USDT transaction, do not rush. Yes, to send USDT on the TRON network, there is an alternative and more convenient method. Transactions on this network use two resources — Energy and Bandwidth. If your account lacks one of these resources, TRX will be used when making the transaction. And in fact, using TRX every time is quite expensive. There is a much cheaper option regardless of how often you transfer — renting energy. There are many services through which you can rent the required amount of energy, but we will look at the FeeSaver service as an example.
Sequence of actions:
- First, go to the Feesaver Telegram bot and start a chat;
- Next, you need to top up your balance — you can do this in USDT if you do not have TRX in your account (the bot will show you the current rate). The bot will generate an address to which you will send the required amount;
- In Trust Wallet, paste this address and fund the balance;
- After topping up the balance, you can buy energy in the bot. In the interface you can choose both the amount and the rental period you need;
- Then the bot will ask for your Trust Wallet address. After adding it, you only need to confirm the purchase and wait for your energy balance to be topped up.
- You can transfer USDT without using TRX.
In conclusion, there is nothing complicated about topping up TRX in Trust Wallet. It is enough to perform this operation a couple of times, and there will definitely be no problems later. A classic reminder: always assess risks and be careful when sending money to other people, and use trusted services. If the goal is specifically to send USDT, the most optimal option is energy rental.
