Opera and Celo deepen their partnership to scale MiniPay, expand stablecoin payments, and accelerate financial inclusion.
The Celo Foundation and Opera have expanded their long-standing strategic partnership to support Celo’s aim of delivering instant, on-chain stablecoin payments to a billion people by 2030.
MiniPay, Opera’s non-custodial wallet built exclusively on Celo, has reached 11 million activated wallets and processed over 300 million transactions since its 2023 launch. Optimised for real-world payments, the wallet now integrates with major digital payment platforms, including Mercado Pago and PIX.
Rene Reinsberg, Celo Co-Founder and Celo Foundation President, said: “MiniPay is crypto’s killer user case, making stablecoins useful for everyday people. With product-market fit confirmed, we are doubling down on this exclusive partnership to supercharge real-world adoption.”
Opera’s EVP Mobile, Jørgen Arnesen, added: “Our goal with MiniPay is to provide a reliable stablecoin wallet for receiving, saving, and sending payments. By continuing to partner with Celo, we are creating a platform that benefits users, developers, and payment partners.”
The partnership will now extend into new markets through a Mini App Roadshow across Asia and South America in 2026, targeting regions with rising Web3 developer activity and accelerating consumer crypto usage.
