XLM to XDR: Convert and Swap Stellar (XLM) to Special Drawing Rights (XDR) for Russian Investors

How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) Using Special Drawing Rights (XDR) in Russia

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