Hey everyone, I could really use some help figuring out a Bitcoin transaction from a buy I did through Trust Wallet. I bought about 0.00387670 BTC using Trust Wallet/MoonPay, and I didn't manually type in any destination address. The Bitcoin got sent to: bc1qq9xgfxfhazw2zqmvqswe2u6469fh7h89g9ltq0 The transaction ID is: 69bf9f34140a4f810bddd83378ad9eddc167bf4e2080445b806d1360b0271c13 This address received the BTC on June 19, 2026, and then on June 21, 2026, it sent out the full amount in this transaction: cd1dbea27e5e535f0e6c9855fde9b2faa962c1df83f1a18a15668bd59bed68d3 to: bc1q4f5uwlm6gw9e2z3nwphlwrpwhhhp23u2v3jz08 The blockchain explorer shows this as "Possibly self-transfer", and the output still has around 0.00387560 BTC left unspent. So, my question is: Does this transaction pattern seem like a wallet shifting funds between its own addresses, or does it look like the Bitcoin ended up in a different wallet altogether? I'm trying to see if those addresses were generated by Trust Wallet and if there's a way to tell if the destination address is part of the same wallet. I've already reached out to both MoonPay and Trust Wallet support and am waiting for their reply. Thanks for any help!

Are you saying you purchased bitcoin, but you don't see any funds in your wallet? I can't say for sure, but since this transaction doesn't have any change output, I doubt it's related to a Bitcoin purchase. bc1q......z08 is probably a deposit address associated with a custodial service. That's all I can tell from the blockchain data.

Thank you for your response. Yes, that is exactly the issue. I purchased approximately 0.00387670 BTC through the Trust Wallet Buy button using MoonPay, but the BTC does not appear in any wallet I can access in Trust Wallet. What makes this confusing is that I never manually entered a destination address. The purchase was initiated entirely through Trust Wallet's Buy function. The blockchain shows the BTC was first delivered to: bc1qq9xgfxfhazw2zqmvqswe2u6469fh7h89g9ltq0 and then moved to: bc1q4f5uwlm6gw9e2z3nwphlwrpwhhhp23u2v3jz08 where the funds still remain unspent. Since I did not provide either address, I am trying to determine whether these addresses could have been generated by Trust Wallet as part of the purchase process or whether the BTC was somehow delivered elsewhere. When you mention that the ending "...z08" address is probably a deposit address associated with a custodial service, does that suggest the BTC may still be under the control of the service that processed the purchase rather than an external wallet owner? Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated while I wait for Trust Wallet support to investigate.

This doesn't mean much: I think it's only based on sending the full amount. The sending fee is only 1.01 sat/vbyte, making it unlikely to be stolen. A thief would likely use a higher fee. I've never used "Trust" wallet, and I don't trust them, nor have I ever used an in-app "buy" feature, but I think it makes sense you don't need to enter a destination address. Your wallet already knows that. Sending it again doesn't make sense though.

Thank you for your response. I think there may be a misunderstanding about what I'm trying to determine. I'm not questioning whether the transaction was stolen or whether the fee was reasonable. My concern is that I purchased approximately 0.00387670 BTC through Trust Wallet's Buy button using MoonPay, and the BTC was delivered to an address that I cannot locate within any wallet I control. The blockchain shows: Purchase delivered to: bc1qq9xgfxfhazw2zqmvqswe2u6469fh7h89g9ltq0 Then moved to: bc1q4f5uwlm6gw9e2z3nwphlwrpwhhhp23u2v3jz08 where it remains unspent. I never manually entered either address. The purchase was initiated entirely through Trust Wallet's Buy function, which is why I am trying to understand whether these addresses could have been automatically generated or controlled by Trust Wallet, MoonPay, or another service involved in the purchase process. Since the BTC is still sitting unspent at the final address, my main question is: Does this transaction pattern look consistent with funds being routed between addresses controlled by the same service (such as Trust Wallet, MoonPay, or another custodian), or does it appear more likely that the BTC was delivered to an unrelated external wallet? I understand blockchain data alone may not provide a definitive answer, but any insight into how purchases made through Trust Wallet's Buy button are typically processed would be very helpful while I wait for Trust Wallet support to investigate. Thank you.

Where did you get this address from? Does Moonpay (or trustwallet) say they have sent your funds to this address? As I said, the transaction made to this address doesn't seem to be Moonpay (or any other service) sending funds to you.

I never used moonpay or stupid trust wallet to ever buy bitcoin, but I am sure they should first ask you to enter your bitcoin address before sending anything.

OP is right. I just did a search and found a guide on how to buy bitcoin through Moonpay. It says If you’re coming to MoonPay through your existing wallet, we’ll pre-fill your wallet address automatically.

Did you see a balance update in Trust Wallet at any time between buying the bitcoin from MoonPay and the coins moving to the second address? So, between 19 June and 21 June? Do you have any proof of the purchase? Does it appear in the transaction history or did Trust Wallet/MoonPay send a notification or email to confirm that you have purchased x amount of BTC? What's interesting is that it took almost two days between the first and the second transaction. Do you have any other crypto in that Trust Wallet and if you do, is it still there? The second address (bc1q4f5uwlm6gw9e2z3nwphlwrpwhhhp23u2v3jz08) where the coins were later sent to, has seen five transactions in total according to blockchain data. It has both received and sent bitcoin. https://mempool.space/address/bc1q4f5uwlm6gw9e2z3nwphlwrpwhhhp23u2v3jz08 Do you recognize this address and did you ever use it in the past? Did you buy BTC from Trust Wallet and MoonPay before? Like I said, the address has had five past transactions. If you are in contact with Trust Wallet and MoonPay support, I would first wait to hear what they have to say. If they say that everything is ok on their end, I would try to recover my wallet in a different software. If you are using a desktop, I would suggest Electrum due to its simplicity, making sure to select that you are recovering a BIP-39 seed. Electrum is bitcoin-only, though. You also need to ensure that Electrum knows the exact derivation path that Trust Wallet uses (in case they are different) and probably where those addresses of yours are located.

don't mind those additional notes added by blockexplorers. It's more of a guess based on the transaction's inputs, outputs and their amounts, it's never meant to be a basis of the ownership of the addresses, that's also why they say "Possibly". Your particular transaction doesn't have a change address so their privacy heuristic assumes that the sender just transferred its entire balance to their other address. Just to be clear, is this in "Buy" menu on Trust Wallet with Moonpay as option? Because if so, that'll indeed will be directly sent to your address after completion, you don't have to provide them an address. The concerning part is it's sent to a different address after two days (check your transaction history if it's reflected there) But "Buy Bitcoin" part isn't self-custodial so it's best to wait for their response. For now, check you're actually using the legit app and investigate if someone gained access to your backup seed phrase.

That's the deposit address to Binance, which will then be automatically swept along with other addresses to the hot wallet: bc1qdpeqe8wnjeda7lrk3lc0578u7wu94trr48pga8. Question for the OP: how did you get the Trust Wallet, and how did you generate the seed phrase? Do they even at least show a purchase preview to verify the address before approving it?

Unless it was a bug in the software or MoonPay related.  You probably got scammed. Try to look as deep as you can for the origin of your MoonPay Transaction.  Transaction history, email, any thing.  Considering it is a Third Party service, I doubt it had no receipt or confirmation email.  Other wise, contact MoonPay directly.  Trust Wallet not being fully open source and MoonPay being the service you used, other than us asking you to look better for an original transaction there is not much we can do as our power is limited.
