How to Purchase Ethereum Classic (ETC) using Bitcoin (BTC)

To buy Ethereum Classic using Bitcoin, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the ETC/BTC trading pair, such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken or OKX. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your BTC into your exchange wallet. Locate the ETC/BTC pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Bitcoin for Ethereum Classic. If the ETC/BTC pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Bitcoin for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Ethereum Classic. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction. In Germany, it’s also important to consider the tax implications of your trades, as capital gains tax may apply to your profits from cryptocurrency transactions.
