How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Cardano (ADA)

To buy Stellar using Cardano, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the XLM/ADA trading pair, such as YouHodler or Wirex. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your ADA into your exchange wallet. Locate the XLM/ADA pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Cardano for Stellar. If the XLM/ADA pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Cardano 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.
