Yes, Optimism (OP) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. India regulates crypto as a taxable, speculative asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.

To buy OP for the first time, sign up on an FIU-IND registered exchange that lists the token and follow the steps suggested on the platform.

Optimism is currently available in USDT but not in INR on CoinDCX. Stay tuned for updates on when you can buy OP in INR on our platform.

Add INR to your crypto exchange app by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the OP market, enter your INR amount, and confirm.

Yes; Because OP is divisible, you can start with as little as ₹100. Open the app, search for Optimism, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm.

OP trades directly against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Judge any venue on three points: FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and published custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.

Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income.

Optimism is a leading Ethereum Layer-2 with real adoption, very low fees, and a wider network of connected chains. Against that, OP is mainly a governance token rather than a gas token, it faces heavy competition, its supply is still growing, and it trades well below its all-time high.

A Layer-2 is a separate network built on top of a main blockchain, in this case Ethereum, to make transactions faster and cheaper while still relying on the main chain for security. An optimistic rollup bundles many transactions together, posts a summary to Ethereum, and assumes those transactions are valid unless someone challenges them within a set period.

Optimism’s open-source framework lets other teams launch their own Layer-2 networks that connect together into what the project calls a Superchain, sharing standards and, over time, easier movement of assets between them. OP is the token used to help govern this ecosystem.

OP has a circulating supply of 2.3 billion tokens out of a supply of 4.2 billion tokens.
