How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Open Platform (OPEN)

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