How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) using Switchboard (SWTCH)

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