Is buying Stellar without KYC legal?
Swapping one crypto for another without KYC is legal in most countries — you're not using a regulated fiat on-ramp. Rules vary by jurisdiction, so check your local laws.
Can I buy Stellar with cash or a card without KYC?
Fiat-to-crypto (card/cash) usually needs KYC. The no-KYC route is crypto-to-crypto: get a little BTC or USDT first (P2P, an ATM, or a gift), then swap it for XLM.
