W. X. Li, S. J. Xue (NAOC), M. Andrews, J. Farah, D. A. Howell, M. Newsome, E. Padilla Gonzalez, C. McCully, and G. Terreran (Las Cumbres Observatory), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of the fast X-ray transient EP250225a by the Einstein Probe (Jiang et al., GCN 39475) with the Sinistro instrument mounted on the 1-m telescope of the LCO, we initiated observations of the fast X-ray transient location starting on 2025 Feb 26th at 04:50:50 UT (~15 hours after the EP/WXT trigger) in the r band. These observations were conducted using the 1-meter telescope at the Las Cumbres Observatory node located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. No new optical source was detected in the co-added images within the EP/WXT error box down to ~21.5 mag. These observations were taken as part of the Global Supernova Project.
