How to Purchase Stellar (XLM) Using United States Dollar (USD) in Russia

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