Avalanche to BNB Chain bridge
Both Avalanche C-Chain and BNB Chain are EVM networks, so the same 0x address works on both and many bridges connect them. Stargate is a strong choice for USDT, deBridge and Relay are fast for most tokens, and LI.FI compares routes. You need BNB on BNB Chain to use your funds, so choose a route that delivers a little gas if your wallet is empty.
