Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Stellar address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, XLM is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on SPL on Solana follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Send only on SPL on Solana — other networks are not interchangeable.
- Double-check the network on your order page before you send.
- XLM not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether on Solana
Always match USDT on SPL on Solana when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports SPL on Solana.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap USDT to XLM?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Tether to Stellar swaps.
How long does USDT to XLM take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on SPL on Solana and Stellar mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is USDT to XLM non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDT from your wallet and receive XLM directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDT on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (SPL on Solana for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
