Trust Wallet Moves Toward Banking Role, Emphasizes TWT


Trust Wallet’s chief, Eowin Chen, says the app with a 220 million audience is evolving beyond custody toward broader financial services. The company positions the wallet as an alternative to fintech and exchanges by adding payments, discovery and integrated on‑ramp features.

Product strategy

The team frames the roadmap around a “wallet as bank” model that combines self‑custody with modular financial primitives and services. This approach aims to provide users with native access to lending, swaps and fiat corridors without leaving the wallet interface.

Trust Alpha and navigation hub

Trust Alpha serves as a testing and discovery layer designed to surface new features and vetted dapps for users and developers. The platform also introduces a navigation hub to simplify access to services across multiple chains and application categories.

Binance ecosystem and synergy

Within the broader Binance ecosystem, Trust Wallet shifts from direct competition toward complementary integration and shared infrastructure. The team highlights cooperation on tooling, security standards and user onboarding as priorities to scale adoption.

Role of TWT and BNB Chain activity

The company underscores the utility of the TWT token in governance, rewards and feature access, while reporting growing transaction and engagement metrics on BNB Chain. Token mechanics are positioned to align user incentives with product development and retention.

Omnichain future

Looking ahead, Trust Wallet envisions an omnichain environment where users interact with applications across networks without needing to commit to a single blockchain. The architecture focuses on composability, protocol interoperability and seamless asset movement.
