Opera teams up with Celo to launch stablecoin payment card, targeting Asia and South America as main markets

[Blockchain Article] Opera browser’s latest move is pretty interesting—they recently renewed their partnership with the Celo Foundation at a major exchange’s blockchain week, with a clear goal: to bring stablecoin payments into everyday life.

How are they doing it? Three main strategies: first, launching a stablecoin payment card (finally, no more complicated on-chain transfers every time); second, expanding the supply chain for real-world assets; third, taking mini-app roadshows directly to Asian and South American markets.

In short, they’re targeting emerging markets—where the demand for low-cost cross-border payments is strongest and traditional banking systems aren’t as developed. If stablecoins can truly solve the “last mile” payment problem, the potential is huge. Opera’s choice of this track is a solid bet on practical Web3 applications.
