Opera brings MiniPay to Latin America, integrates USDT for real-time payments

Published at 2025-11-20 08:30:43

Opera has expanded MiniPay — its Celo-based stablecoin wallet — into Latin America and is integrating USDT (Tether) with local real-time payment networks. The move, announced on Nov. 20, 2025, aims to enable faster on- and off-ramps for users and merchants by bridging stablecoin liquidity with existing instant payment rails in the region.

For users this could mean quicker, lower-cost cross-border transfers and easier conversion between fiat and USDT on mobile devices, leveraging Celo’s mobile-first architecture and Opera’s large browser user base. The rollout could boost everyday stablecoin use for remittances and commerce, though adoption will depend on local partnerships, regulatory clarity, and the integration of compliant fiat rails.
