How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Cleopatra (CLEO)

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