Moving 100 USDT from Ethereum to Tron with Cambio delivered 99.47 USDT, and 1,000 delivered 996.05: a 0.38% rate margin plus a flat 0.15 USDT withdrawal fee. Our live quotes from 50 to 1,000 USDT on 7 November 2026, the way back, and what the Ethereum send itself costs.
Moving USDT from Ethereum to Tron with Cambio turned 100 USDT into 99.47 USDT, 500 into 497.95 and 1,000 into 996.05, with our fees already taken out, when we read our own live quotes at 07:39 UTC on 7 November 2026.
We asked for USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) to USDT on Tron (TRC-20) at 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 USDT, and for the way back at 100 and 500 USDT, all within the same minute. In the 30 days to 7 November, the 4 swaps our customers completed on this route were between 34 and 251 USDT, so these sizes cover them. Both sides are the same coin, so the gap between what you send and what arrives is what the swap costs on our side.
What each quote paid
- 50 USDT on Ethereum: 49.66 USDT arrived on Tron, 0.34 USDT less (0.68%).
- 100 USDT: 99.47 USDT arrived, 0.53 less (0.53%).
- 250 USDT: 248.90 USDT arrived, 1.10 less (0.44%).
- 500 USDT: 497.95 USDT arrived, 2.05 less (0.41%).
- 1,000 USDT: 996.05 USDT arrived, 3.95 less (0.40%).
What the fee is made of
Every quote to Tron stated its cost the same way: a rate margin of 0.38% of the amount, plus a flat withdrawal fee of 0.15 USDT for sending the USDT out on Tron, taken from the amount you receive. On 1,000 USDT that is 3.80 USDT of margin and 0.15 USDT of fee, 3.95 USDT in all.
A flat fee weighs more on a small amount. On 50 USDT the 0.15 USDT fee alone is 0.30% of the swap, which is why 50 USDT cost 0.68% and 1,000 USDT cost 0.40%. From 250 to 1,000 USDT, the cost stayed within 0.06 percentage points of the 0.38% margin.
The way back: Tron to Ethereum
Moving USDT from Tron to Ethereum, 100 USDT became 99.12 USDT (0.88% less) and 500 became 497.60 (0.48% less). The rate margin was the same 0.38%. The difference is the withdrawal fee for sending USDT out on Ethereum, which the quotes stated as 0.50 USDT, against 0.15 USDT on Tron.
Sending the USDT on Ethereum
The quote covers our side. Sending your USDT to the deposit address is a transaction on Ethereum, paid in ETH from your own wallet, and that network fee is separate. You need a little ETH in the wallet to pay it, even when you are only sending USDT.
Etherscan's gas tracker, read at 07:40 UTC on 7 November 2026, showed a standard gas price of 0.044 gwei. At 65,000 gas, the figure its table uses for a token transfer, that is 0.00000286 ETH, about $0.0064 at the $2,242.08 ETH price on the same page. The page itself priced a USDT transfer, at 54,128 gas, at $0.005 to $0.006. Both are estimates for that minute: the gas price on Ethereum moves with demand, and your wallet shows the real fee before you confirm.
What changes these numbers
- The amount. The withdrawal fee is flat, so the percentage falls as the amount grows. Ask for a quote at the amount you mean to send.
- The direction. Receiving on Tron carried a 0.15 USDT withdrawal fee; receiving on Ethereum, 0.50 USDT.
- The moment. These quotes were read at 07:39 UTC on 7 November. A quote for your own amount is worked out when you ask for it.
At every size we asked for, from 50 to 1,000 USDT, the quote showed the amount that would arrive on Tron, with our fees already taken out, before anything was sent.
