Markets, oh fickle mistress of fortune!
Behold, dear reader, a tale of stocks and chains! Opera, that humble browser-maker, hath seen its shares leap like a courtier at a royal banquet-a full 17% surge, no less! Why, you ask? Ah, ’tis all thanks to their newfound embrace of Tether’s USDT and the golden XAUT, now nestled snugly in their MiniPay wallet.
- Opera’s stock, once languishing, now soars like a phoenix from the ashes, all because they’ve opened their arms to Tether’s stablecoin and gold-backed cryptocurrency. A match made in financial heaven, or so the markets declare!
- MiniPay, with its 12.6 million wallets, hath processed a princely sum of $153 million in stablecoin transactions in December alone. Truly, ’tis a treasure trove of digital riches!
- This partnership, oh wise reader, aims to bring the glittering world of dollar-backed and gold-backed cryptocurrencies to the emerging markets. “Pay like a local,” they say, as if one could pay with a mere wave of a handkerchief!
And lo, the browser maker’s shares did dance a merry jig, rising from a lowly $12.40 to a stately $14.65. MiniPay, that clever little wallet, now allows users to wield these tokens without the bother of blockchain’s labyrinthine ways.
But heed this, dear reader: MiniPay is no mere financial service. Nay, it connects users to on- and off-ramp providers like Binance, Partna, and Fonbank, bridging the chasm between fiat and crypto with a flourish. Last year, they unveiled their “Pay like a local” feature, allowing users to pay in Argentina with Mercado Pago and in Brazil with Pix. How convenient, though one wonders if it simplifies life or merely adds another layer of farce!
Since then, this feature hath spread its wings, embracing instant SEPA payments in Europe and bank transfers in Nigeria. Truly, the world is their oyster, or so they would have us believe.
And what of Tether, that mighty titan of stablecoins? They reported a net profit of over $10 billion for 2025, fueled by the growth of USDT and their U.S. Treasury holdings. And lest we forget, they’ve been hoarding gold like dragons, buying up to $1 billion per month. A wise bet on the precious metal, alongside BTC, or mere folly? Only time will tell.
