How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Hot Cross (HOTCROSS)

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