# Exchange via cryptocurrencies # Idea There are different networks where you can buy and send cryptocurrencies. The lowest fees are on Tron (code: TRX) network. The change is done by buying a stable-coin (1:1 to USD value), called Tether (code: USDT). So, we need to buy Tether on Tron (code: USDT-TRC20). Other name USDT-TRX. # Option 1. Wallet and coin changes (not-recommended) Too tricky and overwhelming, I recommend Option 2. To use your Trone network for the very first time you need to buy some Tron coins (code TRX). After that each USDT-TRC20 -> RUB transfer fee would be around 20 TRX (~1 USD). When you buy initially your TRX coins, you can just exchange USD -> USDT-TRC20 and then USDT-TRC20 -> RUB in your bank (Sber or Tinkoff). 1.
