Thanks to all,

if i store "USDCoin/USDC" in "Trust" wallet for few days but not more than 30 to 50$ (as i do not want to store large amount for security wise),
but next day i heard news "Trust" Wallet  totally disappear, can i movie USDC (or other crypto) on any other wallet with Recovery Seeds ?
You can use this tool but it doesn't work for Binance chain so far: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
It works for other chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, POA Network etc

For the case of USDC, it's an ERC20 token that means you may be interested in recovering private keys to the ether address.
1. Visit https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and after the page has loaded turn off your internet connection

2. Select 12 words under the "Generate a random mnemonic" line



3. Copy and paste or write your 12 word mnemonic phrase from your trust wallet ( I hope you know the procedure of getting it) into the "BIP39 Mnemonic" box space

4. After calculation is done, Scroll down and under the Coin section, select the chain of your choice, in the case of USDC, it's Ethereum



5. After that select the derivation path, for Ethereum that will be BIP32, you will be able to see the derived ether addresses and the respective Private keys. Usually the first address is the one that appears on the newly created wallet by default.
Be sure to check and confirm if both addresses much before you can back up the private key.

I hope it helps you

Don't worry about the tool, but to be much safer, make sure your PC is offline while you preform the procedure.
