Description

### Describe the bug
After swapping ERC20 token in TRON the token funds won't update. This is likely in production as well but still think it should be fixed because in the wallet is incorrectly shown and only way to recover the situation is to re-install the the app. Here's what happens:

Before starting the swap I had $230.33 in ETH on Ethereum and $24.26 of USDT on Tron

I then swapped USDT on Tron to ETH on Ethereum

After a few minutes the ETH balance on Ethereum is increased and goes from $230.33 to $254.28 but the USDT on Tron remains $24.26 which is incorrect. Also the aggregated wallet balance is wrong and shows a $20 increase which is incorrect.

I waited a few hours, reset the account, tried to switch to a different account but nothing worked. The only way to restore the situation is to uninstall and re-install the app. After that the funds shows correctly

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the bridge from USDT on Tron to ETH on Ethereum on iOS, then trace how the completed transaction refreshes both chain balances and the aggregated wallet balance. Done means the Tron USDT balance is deducted and the aggregate reflects the completed swap without reinstalling the app.
