How to Purchase Bitcoin (BTC) Using Stellar (XLM) in Russia

To buy Bitcoin using Stellar, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the BTC/XLM trading pair popular in Russia. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your XLM into your exchange wallet. Locate the BTC/XLM pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Stellar for Bitcoin. If the BTC/XLM pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Stellar for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency such as the Russian Ruble (RUB), then trade that for Bitcoin. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction in the Russian market.
