How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) Using NEAR Protocol (NEAR) in Russia

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