Opera Crypto Browser – a Web3-centric initiative supporting DApps, games and metaverses navigation – reportedly teamed up with Coin98, a SEA-based DeFi entity, to streamline Web3 accessibility. 

Specifically, the freshly carried out integration with Coin98 will reportedly make it possible for Opera’s Crypto Browser user to access the platform’s suite of multichain NFTs, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), cross-chain bridges and asset swaps, along with the staking and lending features of their crypto portfolios. 

With the Southeast Asia recognized for being an online technology hotspot – with the highest figure of internet users globally – acompanied with a burgeoning young population and increasingly active crypto community, the team-up is reportedly expected to offer significant stride for Opera’s Crypto Browser to achieve its goal of promoting mass crypto and Web3 adoption.

“With over 340 million users worldwide, it is critical that we encourage mainstream adoption by supplying products and services that everyone can use.” Susie Batt, crypto ecosystem lead at Opera, reportedly remarked regarding the collaboration. 

Opera has reportedly been a major player in the cryptocurrency sphere for awhile, being the pioneering high-profile browser to add BTC in the list of viable payment measures in 2019. 

In January this year, Opera reportedly introduced the Crypto Browser initiative, a Web3-oriented project dedicated to the simplification of exploring DApps, games and metaverse platforms.

As included in the scope of the initiative, the browser reportedly carried out the expansion of its blockchain support for approximately nine top-ter blockchain networks including Bitcoin, Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), StarkEx, Ronin, Celo, Nervos Network, and BNB chain. 

In early 2022, Opera reportedly formed a partnership with Yat, a service that enables the creation of emojified web addresses or URLs.
