How to Purchase Ethereum (ETH) using Ethereum Classic (ETC)

To buy Ethereum using Ethereum Classic, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the ETH/ETC trading pair, such as Binance, Kraken, Hotcoin or Kucoin. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your ETC into your exchange wallet. Locate the ETH/ETC pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Ethereum Classic for Ethereum. If the ETH/ETC pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Ethereum Classic for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Ethereum. 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.
