How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using OctopusWallet (OCW)

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