Opera’s MiniPay wallet, now backed by Tether’s USDT and Tether Gold, expands reach to 60 countries, boosting emerging market adoption and global stable asset access.
Tether has partnered with Opera to integrate USDT and Tether Gold (XAUT) into the Celo-based MiniPay wallet. MiniPay operates in 60 countries, with 12.6 million active wallets and 350 million transactions, and experienced 50% user growth in Q4 2024 fueled by emerging markets. The platform also enables fiat-crypto conversions through Binance, Partna, and Fonbank, and supports regional payment solutions such as Mercado Pago, Pix, SEPA, and Nigerian bank transfers. This move enhances access to dollar- and gold-backed assets globally, aligning with Tether’s strategy to grow adoption in regions with currency instability.
