A partnership by Opera and European crypto exchange Safello has resulted in a potential introduction of cryptocurrencies to millions of active users – as the web browser has surpassed the 100,000,000 installs milestone already. As for Opera’s partner – Safello is regulated as a financial institution and registered with the Financial Supervisory Authority of Sweden.
This is not the first time that Opera browser has made cryptocurrency news. A $50 Million investment by Bitmain in the company that develops the browser.
