The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Binance unavailable to EU users after failing MiCA fit-and-proper test on July 1, 2026; Trust Wallet free self custody wallet with no vendor subscription, so any costs come from third party exchange or DeFi protocol fees rather than the app itself
  • They diverge on capability: Binance covers Spot Trading, Trust Wallet covers Multi-chain Support.
