True cost · Stellar
The cheapest way to buy Stellar — measured, not advertised.
We compare every venue in our set that quotes XLM against EUR — and none of them costs what the fee table says. Below: the live all-in cost of a Stellarpurchase at your size — fee plus the spread we measure by walking each venue’s actual orderbook — ranked by the XLM that lands in your account.
The trade itself — no withdrawal fee added.
Ranked by net amount received — never by what a venue pays us.
At Binance, €1,000.00 buys 6,574.90 XLM — €0.45 ahead of the runner-up.
1 XLM ≈ €0.15 · $0.17 — CoinGecko reference price, live. Each venue’s own price paid per unit, fee and spread included, is in the Unit price column below.

Why the advertised fee misleads
Spread is a price, not a percentage.
A “0.10% fee” on a €1,000 Stellar order is one euro. The spread between the reference price and the levels your order actually consumes can be several times that — and it grows with order size, especially in thin books. That is why we rank venues by net XLM received instead of any quoted percentage, and why every figure on this page carries its data age. The full methodology.
Not investment advice. Skontro is not a CASP under MiCAR. Some venue links are affiliate links. Skontro earns a commission from the linked platform at no extra cost to you. Ranking is never influenced by affiliate payout. Market data from public exchange orderbooks; EUR reference via CoinGecko. Every figure carries its data age.
