How to Purchase United States Dollar (USD) using Optimism (OP)

To buy United States Dollar using Optimism, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the USD/OP trading pair, such as Nexo, YouHodler, BTSE or Coinbase. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your OP into your exchange wallet. Locate the USD/OP pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Optimism for United States Dollar. If the USD/OP pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Optimism for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for United States Dollar. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
