Backpack Wallet Adds TRON Support for USDT Transfers and DeFi Access

Backpack Wallet added the TRON network to its mobile app and browser extension on Nov. 9, giving users a self-custody route to move TRON-based assets and access decentralized applications.

Users can hold, send and receive assets on TRON, including Tether (USDT) issued under the network’s TRC-20 standard. They can bridge supported assets between TRON and other networks and view holdings from multiple networks in the same wallet. The wallet’s built-in browser also opens decentralized applications on TRON, including SUN.io for token swaps, staking and liquidity provision.

Users add TRON from Backpack’s network list. This creates a TRON address under their existing seed phrase, and they need TRON (TRX), the network’s native token, available to cover transaction costs. The address lets them use TRON assets through the wallet’s self-custody setup.

The wallet support follows Backpack Exchange’s July 29 launch of TRX/USD spot and TRX-PERP perpetual markets. Those markets offered TRX trading where available, while the wallet addition gives users a way to hold assets and use applications on the network. The exchange products may not be available in some regions.

TRON recorded $2.2126 trillion in stablecoin settlement during the third quarter of 2026, a 5.1% increase from the second quarter. Combined Tether and USDD supply on TRON reached $93.88 billion during the quarter. The settlement total reflects activity across the network, not transfers through Backpack.

Backpack’s TRON support covers the mobile app and browser extension. Users can add the network from the wallet’s network list and use their new TRON address for supported assets and applications.
