Opera Crypto took to Twitter to herald its integration of Southeast Asia-based DeFi platform Coin98. A post by the Web3-focused project read:
“Opera partners with @coin98_wallet, a leading DeFi gateway! Our users can now seamlessly access an ecosystem of accessible DeFi products that help onboard more users onto Web3!”
Furthermore, in a blog post, Opera’s Crypto Browser mentioned the prospect of tapping into Coin98’s two million-strong community in Southeast Asia. In addition, the leading and world’s foremost Web3 dedicated browser identifies the Southeast Asian market as an international technology hotspot. Due to its mammoth online user base of 2.8 billion, digital currencies have seen great reception in the region. For instance, the Southeast Asian region has transcended other continents by the sheer volume of retail crypto investors. Vietnam leads the adoption race by far, with 41% of respondents saying they owned at least one crypto.
Speaking on Opera’s Web3 goals of providing unfettered global access, Opera crypto ecosystem lead Susie Batt explained that “with over 340 million users worldwide, it is critical that they [we] encourage mainstream adoption by supplying products and services that everyone can use.”
