How to Purchase Optimism (OP) using PAX Gold (PAXG)

To buy Optimism using PAX Gold, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the OP/PAXG trading pair, such as YouHodler. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your PAXG into your exchange wallet. Locate the OP/PAXG pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your PAX Gold for Optimism. If the OP/PAXG pair is unavailable, you can first exchange PAX Gold for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Optimism. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction. In Germany, it’s also important to consider the tax implications of your trades, as capital gains tax may apply to your profits from cryptocurrency transactions.
