Blockchain Bridges

Why do I have to transfer my cryptocurrencies between chains?

Transferring your cryptocurrencies between chains is essential when you need to move assets like USDT or BTC from one blockchain to another—especially when dealing with platforms like X4T, which only supports Binance Smart Chain (BSC/BEP20). Each blockchain operates independently, so transferring ensures your assets are compatible with the network you are using.

For more information on why different blockchains exist and why they matter, see our article about blockchains and networks.

Multiple ways to transfer

There are various ways to transfer your cryptocurrencies between chains, with multiple providers offering this service. Popular options include centralized exchanges like Binance or decentralized bridges that operate directly between blockchains.

Important note

We strongly recommend educating yourself thoroughly before using any transfer provider. The tutorial below shows how to transfer using Binance. If you prefer using another provider, make sure you fully understand their process to avoid any risk.
