Where to check the XLM price across exchanges

What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.

The XLM price gap between exchanges

XLM costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.

How much XLM you can actually buy at that price

Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.

Moving XLM between platforms

And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
