How to Buy Stellar (XLM) - A Step-by-Step Guide

It doesn't matter if you are in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, or anywhere in between, Ndax gives you all the tools and support to buy and sell Stellar in Canada.

Why buy XLM?

Used for fast, inexpensive cross-border payments, the argument for buying Stellar Lumens is similar to XRP, but XLM is less focused on regulated financial institutions and more so on universal usage for individuals, businesses, and other organizations.

Adoption of the Stellar blockchain continues to grow and Stellar has partnered with companies like IBM and Franklin Templeton. Combine this with a limited supply of just over 50 billion XLM and investors are viewing Stellar Lumens as a long-term investment opportunity to add to their portfolio as adoption and usage increases.
