Tether and Opera expand their reach in financial services for emerging markets
The integration of payment services in developing regions continues to gain ground thanks to collaboration among major players in the crypto ecosystem. Opera, through its MiniPay wallet based on the Celo blockchain, has strengthened its presence by offering full support for USDT and Tether Gold (XAU₮), two pillars of Tether’s portfolio. This strategic partnership marks an important milestone in the effort to democratize access to digital financial services in areas where traditional infrastructure is limited.
Explosive Growth of MiniPay in the Celo Ecosystem
Numbers reflect the success of this initiative. MiniPay has reached a significant milestone with over 12.6 million active wallets, of which 7 million are verified and directly linked to USDT transactions via mobile devices. These figures demonstrate the rapid adoption the platform is experiencing among users in emerging markets.
During the last month of 2025, activity hit record levels: users completed more than 96 million USDT transfers and moved $49 million in cash deposits through local partners. These numbers highlight how the reach of native crypto financial solutions expands significantly when combined with local payment infrastructure.
Financial Inclusion Through Stable Digital Assets
The availability of stablecoins like USDT and products like Tether Gold in MiniPay represents a crucial step toward financial inclusion. Users in emerging economies gain access to stable value deposits and transfers without the typical cost barriers of the conventional financial system. Tether Gold, in particular, adds an extra dimension by allowing exposure to gold-backed assets without traditional intermediaries.
Celo Consolidates Its Leadership as a Native USDT Blockchain
Celo’s exceptional growth compared to other blockchains emphasizes its strategic importance. The network has experienced a user growth rate of 506% over the past year, positioning it as the fastest-growing native blockchain hosting USDT globally. This performance underscores how combining an efficient network, low costs, and consumer wallets like MiniPay creates unprecedented reach for digital financial services in markets with high demand.
