Since 1 July 2026 only platforms authorised under MiCA may operate in Spain. These ones are and have the pair open — two different things, and both worth checking. You can verify the authorisation yourself in the register we keep up to date:

  • Bit2Me — OP/EUR. You can pay in euros. Bitcoinforme S.L., authorised by Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) since 10/2025.
  • Bitvavo — OP/EUR. You can pay in euros. Bitvavo B.V., authorised by Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) since 06/2025.
  • Kraken — OP/EUR, OP/USD. You can pay in euros. Payward Europe Solutions Limited, authorised by Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) since 06/2025.
  • Coinbase — OP/USD, OP/USDT. No euro pair: you would have to swap into another coin first, and that swap is taxable in Spain. Coinbase Luxembourg S.A., authorised by Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) since 06/2025.

Being authorised does not mean they are the best option for you: it means they may operate legally. Fees and service are something you have to look at separately. This is not investment advice.

And when you sell at a profit, it has to be declared: work out what you pay in Spanish income tax using the FIFO method the tax office requires. And if you hold more than €50,000 on platforms outside Spain, you also have to file form 721, which is informational and costs nothing.

What is Optimism

Optimism trades under the ticker OP and ranks #158 by market capitalisation in the CoinGecko catalogue. It is a token issued on the Optimism network, not a coin with a chain of its own. Its contract on that network is 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042. CoinGecko lists it under smart contract platforms, layer 2 solutions and rollups.

Project description from CoinGecko

Optimism is more than just a single blockchain – it's a growing network of chains called the Superchain, all built on the open-source OP Stack. While OP Mainnet was the first, many prominent chains now run on the Optimism’s OP Stack, including Base (by Coinbase), Unichain (by Uniswap), Ink (by Kraken), and World Chain (by Worldcoin). The OP Stack has become the leading framework for Ethereum Layer 2 chains, powering the majority of L2 activity today. Every OP Chain in the Superchain contributes back to the Optimism Collectiv and all chains follow a standardized revenue-sharing model: the greater of 2.5% of total chain revenue or 15% of onchain profit (defined as fees minus L1 gas costs) is paid back to the Optimism. By aligning economic incentives across many chains, Optimism transforms Ethereum scaling into a sustainable flywheel by delivering fast, low-cost transactions while reinvesting in the future of the ecosystem. OP holders participate in governance to shape protocol upgrades, funding decisions, and more.

Four steps: open an account with a provider authorised to operate in Spain, verify your identity, deposit euros by SEPA transfer and buy Optimism in the matching pair. If you plan to hold for a long time, consider withdrawing to a wallet you control: moving your coins to your own custody is not a sale, so it is not taxed. Selling Optimism at a profit is, and you can work out how much.

You can buy it with euros on Bit2Me, Bitvavo and Kraken (OP/EUR). It also trades on Coinbase (OP/USD, OP/USDT), but with no euro pair: you would have to swap into another coin first, and that swap is taxable in Spain. Checked on 14/09/2026.

Why you will not find a price prediction here

There is no method that reliably predicts the price of a cryptocurrency. It depends on regulation, on adoption, on interest rates, on the decisions of a handful of very large firms and on market sentiment — none of which follows from today's price. A figure twelve months out would not be analysis: it would be an invented number that looks like data.

What you can look at is right above, and it is verifiable: the all-time high and low with their dates, how far away each one is and the recent path. With that you decide for yourself, which is rather more than a figure with nothing behind it gives you.
