How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) Using Catalina Whales Index (WHALES) in Russia

To buy Stellar using Catalina Whales Index, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the XLM/WHALES trading pair popular in Russia. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your WHALES into your exchange wallet. Locate the XLM/WHALES pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Catalina Whales Index for Stellar. If the XLM/WHALES pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Catalina Whales Index for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency such as the Russian Ruble (RUB), then trade that for Stellar.
