How to Send USDT from Binance to Gaza (TRC-20): A Step-by-Step Guide That Keeps Your Gift Safe

You already hold USDT on Binance. You want it to reach a family in Gaza, and you're nervous about one moment in particular: the second you press Withdraw and realise you can't take it back. That nervousness is healthy. Crypto transfers are final, and the most common way donors lose money isn't fraud — it's picking the wrong network on a screen that looks harmless.

FundGaza is run from inside Gaza, where these transfers land. So here is the whole route, end to end, the way we'd explain it to a friend sitting next to us with the Binance app open.

The short answer: open Binance → Assets → Overview → Send → Withdraw Asset → USDT. Paste the TRON address published on the campaign's donation page, choose the network labelled TRX – Tron (TRC20), check the fee and the "receive amount", confirm with your security codes, then copy the TxID and check it on Tronscan. If the network you choose doesn't match the network of the receiving address, stop.

If you're new to giving in crypto at all, start with our main guide on how to donate USDT crypto to Gaza — this article zooms in on one specific job: getting USDT out of a Binance account safely.

Why TRC-20 is the network that makes sense for Gaza

USDT isn't one coin on one blockchain. It circulates on several networks — Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), TRON (TRC-20) and others. The token has the same name everywhere, but each network is a separate road. Money sent down one road doesn't appear on another.

TRON became the practical standard for small humanitarian transfers for three plain reasons:

• The fee is flat and predictable. When you withdraw from Binance on TRC-20, you pay a flat network fee shown before you confirm — not a percentage of your gift. It isn't always the cheapest option, though: as of 29 October 2026 Binance listed 1.5 USDT for a TRC-20 USDT withdrawal versus 0.6 USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20), so read the live fee.
• It settles in minutes. Not days, not "3–5 business days". In a place where a family is waiting on today's water, that matters.
• It's what the receiving side can actually use. Inside Gaza, the people who convert USDT into shekels or dollars in cash commonly work with TRC-20. A donation on an obscure network may be technically safe but practically stuck.

That's why FundGaza publishes a single TRON (TRC-20) receiving address, shared by all its campaigns,, and why the rest of this guide assumes TRC-20.

Four checks before you touch "Withdraw"

Most lost transfers trace back to skipping one of these. They take two minutes.

1. Copy the address from the source, every single time. Take it from the campaign's own page on the official site — never from a WhatsApp forward, a screenshot, a comment under a post, or your Binance withdrawal history. (Why not history? See "address poisoning" in the red-flags section below.)

2. Check the address format. TRON addresses start with a capital T and are 34 characters long. If the address you were given starts with 0x, it's an Ethereum/BNB-style address — and a TRC-20 withdrawal to it will either be rejected by Binance or, worse, sent somewhere you didn't intend. Ask the campaign before going further.

3. Compare the beginning, the middle and the end. Scammers generate look-alike addresses that share the first and last few characters with a real one. Checking only the edges isn't enough. Read a chunk from the middle too.

4. Start with a test transfer. For a first-time donation, send a small amount first, confirm it arrives, then send the rest. You'll pay the network fee twice, but it's worth it.

Step by step: sending USDT from the Binance app

Binance moves its buttons around from time to time, but the flow has stayed recognisable for years.

Step 1 — Open the withdrawal screen

Tap Assets at the bottom, go to Overview, then tap Send. After you choose Withdraw Asset in the next step, you pick the account to send from and USDT as the asset. If your USDT sits in Earn, you may need to redeem it first.

Step 2 — Choose "Withdraw Asset"

You'll see two options. Withdraw Asset sends to a blockchain address. The other option — sending to a Binance user by email, phone or Binance ID — keeps the money inside Binance's own ledger. For a verifiable donation you want the first one.

Step 3 — Paste the address

Paste the TRON address you copied from the campaign page. Binance often offers to save it to your address book or whitelist. Saving it is a good idea if you plan to give regularly: next time, you pick it from a labelled list instead of pasting.

Step 4 — Select the network: TRX – Tron (TRC20)

This is the decision that matters most. Binance usually suggests networks that match the address format; read the label anyway. It should say TRX or Tron (TRC20). If the screen shows several options and you're unsure, don't guess.

Step 5 — Enter the amount and read two numbers

Type the amount. Binance then shows the network fee and the receive amount (what actually lands). It also shows a minimum withdrawal. If you're giving zakat or a fixed pledge, decide in advance whether the fee comes out of the gift or is added on top — more on that below.

Step 6 — Answer the "recipient" questions if asked

Depending on your country, Binance may ask whether the destination is a personal wallet or another exchange, and sometimes for the recipient's name. This is the Travel Rule — financial regulators require exchanges to collect this. Answer truthfully: a campaign's self-custody address is a private / unhosted wallet. If you're unsure what to enter, the campaign should be able to tell you.

Step 7 — Confirm with 2FA

Binance will ask for the codes you've set up: an email code, an authenticator code, a passkey or an SMS code. Just before that, Binance shows a confirmation screen with the full address and network one last time. Read it before you slide to confirm.

Step 8 — Save the TxID

Open Withdrawal history (Assets → Overview → the Transaction History icon). Once the status reads Completed, tap the transaction and copy the TxID (transaction hash). This string is your receipt. It's the thing you'll check on Tronscan, and the thing you can send the campaign if you ever need to ask "did it arrive?"

What it really costs

There are only two costs on your side, and both are visible before you confirm:

• Binance's TRC-20 withdrawal fee — a fixed amount of USDT, set by Binance and adjusted from time to time based on network costs. It doesn't grow with the size of your donation, which is why one larger transfer is cheaper than five small ones.
• Spread, if you bought the USDT just now. If you converted from euros or dollars to USDT seconds ago, the buy price includes a small spread. That's an exchange cost, not a donation fee.

Compare that with a typical charity card payment, where processing fees take a percentage, and then the charity's international transfer, currency conversion and local banking each take their own slice. On-chain, you see the single network fee in front of you, and you see the exact amount that reached the receiving address. Nothing in between is hidden.

After you send: verifying on Tronscan

This is where a USDT donation gives you something better than a bank receipt. Anyone — you, your family, a sceptical friend — can check it.

1. Go to Tronscan, the public TRON block explorer.
2. Paste your TxID into the search bar.
3. Check the status: it should show the transaction as confirmed/successful.
4. Look at the token transfer section. The token should be Tether USD (USDT) with Tronscan's verified-issuer mark — not a look-alike token with a similar name.
5. Check the To address. It must match, character by character, the address published on the campaign page.
6. Check the amount. It should equal the receive amount Binance showed you.

Later, you can do the reverse: open the campaign's receiving address on Tronscan and see your transfer sitting in its incoming history among everyone else's. That's the whole point of giving this way. Trust stops being a promise and becomes something you can look up.

The internal-transfer trap

Here's a detail almost no guide mentions. If the address you paste happens to be a Binance deposit address belonging to someone else, Binance may settle the transfer internally — off the blockchain. Your history will show "Internal" in the TxID field, there will be no real on-chain TxID, and nothing will appear on Tronscan.

The money still moves, but the public proof doesn't exist. That's one reason a transparent campaign should receive into a self-custody wallet, not an exchange account. FundGaza uses one published TRON receiving address with its own public history on Tronscan, so a Binance withdrawal to it should show up there like any other on-chain transfer.

What happens on the Gaza side

Once your USDT arrives, it doesn't feed a family by itself. Someone has to turn it into what's needed.

Banking inside Gaza has been crippled for a long time: branches damaged, cash scarce, and withdrawing physical money often costs a painful commission. The UN humanitarian office (OCHA) has repeatedly described the liquidity crisis and the collapse of normal services. In those conditions, local money exchangers who trade USDT for shekels or dollars are often the most workable channel.

At FundGaza, the conversion and the purchase will be part of the documentation, not hidden behind it. We commit to converting funds as needed, buying goods locally where possible, and recording delivery to families with photos and receipts in our Transparency Log. You see the on-chain incoming transfer on Tronscan; we commit to showing you what it became.

Zakat and sadaqah sent as USDT

USDT is a store of monetary value, so, for scholars who treat it as money, giving it as sadaqah raises no special issue: you're giving wealth for a good cause.

For zakat, the well-established principle is that it belongs to the categories named in the Quran, foremost among them the poor and the needy. Families in Gaza living through displacement, hunger and loss of income clearly fall within those categories. What matters is that the full value reaches eligible people and that it's spent on them, not on overheads.

Two practical points many donors ask about:

• The withdrawal fee. Many scholars prefer that the giver bear transfer costs separately, so the zakat amount itself arrives whole. The easy way: work out your zakat, then add the Binance fee on top before you send.
• Tell the campaign it's zakat. Ask how it will be kept for eligible families only, separate from any general fund. If in doubt about your personal situation, ask a scholar you trust.

Red flags: how scammers target Binance donors

Sympathy for Gaza is real, and so are the people trying to exploit it. These are the patterns worth knowing:

• Address poisoning. After you make a legitimate transfer, a scammer sends you a tiny or zero-value transaction from an address that looks almost identical to the one you used. Weeks later, you copy "the address from last time" out of your history — and it's theirs. Always copy from the campaign page, never from history.
• Fake USDT. On TRON, anyone can create a token called "USDT". Scammers use such tokens to fake "proof" that they've received or sent money. On Tronscan, check that the token is the verified Tether USD, not just something with the right name.
• "Send on BEP-20, it's the same." It isn't. If someone pushes you to change the network from what the campaign publishes, stop.
• Urgency and DMs. Real campaigns don't message you privately with a new address "because the old one has a problem". An address change should be announced on the official site.
• No public address, no history. If a fundraiser won't publish a wallet you can look up, you can't verify anything. Transparency should be the default, not a favour.
• Requests for your Binance login, 2FA codes or seed phrase. No legitimate campaign ever needs these. Ever.

How FundGaza handles your transfer

FundGaza is a personal initiative run from inside Gaza, not a large organisation with layers of staff. That's deliberate. There's no intermediary organisation between your Binance withdrawal and the family:

• One TRC-20 receiving address, shared by all campaigns, is published on the donation pages.
• Every incoming transfer is visible on Tronscan to anyone, at any time.
• Purchases and deliveries will be documented with photos and receipts in our Transparency Log.
• If you send a TxID and ask what happened to it, you get an answer.

Where your USDT can go

If you're ready to give, pick something concrete. Clean water is the most basic need, and the Water Relief Project aims to fund water deliveries for families who otherwise wouldn't have it. For hunger, the Food Basket Project aims to turn your transfer into essential food supplies for the families most in need.

There's also a personal campaign hosted outside the site — Help Nidal Zomlot Family Rebuild Their Lives (fundraiser for the family of Nidal Zomlot, who runs FundGaza) — for those who'd rather give by card through a familiar platform.

Ready to send?

Open Binance, keep this page beside it, and go one step at a time: copy the address from the campaign page, pick TRX – Tron (TRC20), read the fee, confirm, save the TxID, check it on Tronscan. That's all it takes for your USDT to reach Gaza in minutes, with proof anyone can see.

When you're ready, donate USDT verified on-chain — and if anything on the Binance screen looks different from what's described here, ask us before you press Withdraw. It's always better to wait ten minutes than to lose the gift.
