How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Filecoin (FIL)

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