How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using McDonald's xStock (MCDX)

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