Opera, Celo Scale Up Partnership to 'Make Stablecoins Useful' For Millions of Users Vismaya V Wed, December 3, 2025 at 8:01 PM GMT+5:30 2 min read Opera and the Celo Foundation announced at Binance Blockchain Week that they are extending their partnership to bring financial inclusion to a billion people by 2030 by making low-cost stablecoin payments “ubiquitous around the world.” The announcement includes plans for stablecoin-backed payment cards, expanded real-world asset offerings, and a joint Mini App Roadshow across Asia and South America, according to a Wednesday statement by Opera. Their goal is to give people “a reliable stablecoin wallet that allows them to receive payments, save, and send payments—no matter where they are,” Jørgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera, said in the statement. MiniPay, a non-custodial stablecoin wallet provider built on Celo, claims to have grown to 11 million activated wallets and processed over 300 million transactions since launching in September 2023, helping push Celo to the top of Ethereum layer-2s by daily active users, with 700,000 daily active users (DAUs) and over 3 million weekly USDT users.
