How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) using Cardano (ADA)

To buy NEAR Protocol using Cardano, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/ADA trading pair, such as YouHodler or Wirex. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your ADA into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/ADA pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Cardano for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/ADA pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Cardano for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for NEAR Protocol. 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.
