Need help understanding forensic data (USDT and TRX)
 |
I have a bunch of spreadsheets worth of transactions between a number of wallets. I've been reading quite a bit but I think it's time to ask for help. My understanding is that every USDT transfer between wallets also needs a small amount of TRX to be paid (the gas fee, if I'm not mistaken). I would imagine that if Wallet A sends USDT to Wallet B, then the TRX ought to come from Wallet A as well. What I'm seeing is somewhat different. Let me use an example: 5/10/24 10:00:00 – Wallet A sends 5000 USDT to Wallet B. 5/10/24 10:00:09 – Wallet C sends 0.000001 TRX to Wallet B. The second transaction usually happens within ~10 seconds of the first one, and is obviously the gas fee, given how this pattern repeats for every transaction I've looked at. Why is the TRX coming from a different wallet? Shouldn't it also come from Wallet A? Thanks!!! Edit – here's a sanitized copy of one such transaction:
