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

To buy United States Dollar using Stellar, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the USD/XLM trading pair popular in Russia. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your XLM into your exchange wallet. Locate the USD/XLM pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Stellar for United States Dollar. If the USD/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 United States Dollar. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction in the Russian market.
