USDT ERC20 to Stellar Lumens: funding a Stellar account
XLM is the native coin of Stellar, a payments network where every account keeps a small XLM reserve and every fee is paid in XLM. Swapping USDT from Ethereum to XLM is a simple way to fund a Stellar wallet such as Lobstr or Freighter, including a brand-new one, ready for low-cost transfers. GhostSwap needs no account for it.
Most of the wait is the Ethereum confirmation of your USDT, usually about 2–5 minutes. Stellar closes a ledger every few seconds, so the XLM lands almost as soon as it is sent. If you plan to hold other Stellar assets later, each trustline you add locks a little more XLM in the account, so keep some spare.
Tips for this swap
- Paste the 56-character public key that starts with G. Lobstr can also show a federation name such as name*lobstr.co; that form is rejected, so copy the G address itself.
- Receiving into an exchange? Use its G address and copy its memo into the Memo ID field, or the deposit may not be credited. Muxed addresses starting with M are not accepted. Personal wallets leave the memo blank.
- Send USDT from an Ethereum wallet you control, with ETH for gas, and use it as the refund address.
Can I get XLM for USDT without KYC?
Yes. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID for a standard swap. Enter your G address, add a memo only for an exchange, check the floating rate and send USDT ERC20.
Can I receive USDC on Stellar instead?
Yes. Choose USDC (Stellar) as the coin you receive. Your Stellar account must already hold some XLM and have a USDC trustline before it can accept USDC.
