 <p>Celo says the companies picked Africa for the launch due to its poor infrastructure and high unemployment rates, which presents a “unique opportunity to offer a more stable way to store and send money using digital assets.”</p>

  <p>“Users in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa have indicated that even when satisfied with their current payment solutions, there are still lingering concerns about high fees, unreliable service uptimes, a lack of transparency around transaction progress, and mobile data access.”</p> <cite>Jorgen Arnesen, Opera EVP Mobile</cite>

 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="wallet" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/wallet.html">wallet</a> enables users to pay gas fees using ERC20 tokens (like <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stable" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stable.html">stable</a>coins) with support for SocialConnect, a naming service protocol that maps <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="wallet" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/wallet.html">wallet</a>s to mobile phone numbers. It is unclear if Opera plans to roll out the same product for its browser on iOS devices.</p> 
 <p>Amid the news, Celo’s token CEL gained over 3%, reaching $0.42, according to data from TradingView.</p> 
 <p>Opera has been a pro-crypto player since 2018. Back then, the Norwegian software developer announced the launch of its web3-ready browser for Android with support for cryptocurrencies.</p> 
 <p>A year later, Opera Browser integrated TRON (TRX). In November 2022, the Oslo-headquartered company revealed DegenKnows, an analytics tool for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that includes on- and off-chain data to verify the authenticity of digital collectibles.</p>
