How to Purchase Ethereum (ETH) with Optimism (OP)

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