How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Ethereum (ETH)

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