Opera, a fintech friendly browser: blockchain and cryptocurrency among its services

Opera, provider of a popular web browser, is exploring new blockchain-based applications among its services.
Opera is not new to the blockchain space and is notably developing a cryptocurrency wallet that is built into its Android browser. Daniel Palmer on CoinDesk explains it opened the beta-stage product to the public in July. In September, it added a feature that lets users send crypto collectibles directly from the wallet.
The firm, which claims “over 300 million users worldwide” says that, as its crypto wallet does away with the need for third-party plug-ins or dapps, it has “lowered the barrier of entry into the web of the future for users and developers alike.”
