Opera’s MiniPay reaches 10 million activated wallets

Opera (OPRA) announced that MiniPay has reached 10 million activated wallets after being launched two years ago. Since launch, MiniPay users have activated 10 million MiniPay wallets, showing 500% YoY growth, and completed 271 million transactions moving over $270M on-chain. The app now runs on Android, iOS, and within the Opera Mini browser in 60 countries, where a typical transfer finalizes in about one second and costs roughly $0.001. The number of activations in South Africa is up 860% year over year, in Ghana – 357%, and in Kenya – 177%. User growth in developed markets accelerates as well, with the U.S. growing 23x in the past year, and activity across Europe and Asia each roughly tripling. The wallet is rolling out U.S. and EU bank integrations, including virtual accounts that make getting paid in USD or EUR straightforward and near-instant to convert, while “Pay with MiniPay” allows direct checkout from a MiniPay balance online.
