Tether and Opera Partner to Expand USDT and Tether Gold Access Through MiniPay Wallet
Tether has partnered with Opera to integrate its stablecoin USDT and tokenized gold product, Tether Gold (XAUT), into Opera's self-custody MiniPay wallet. This integration allows users in mobile-first regions to send, receive, and hold USDT, as well as convert balances into gold-backed XAUT to protect savings against inflation. The MiniPay wallet, built on the Celo blockchain, already had over 7 million active USDT wallets by December 2025, facilitating significant peer-to-peer transaction volumes. Following the announcement, Opera's stock surged 18% intraday. Tether's CEO emphasized the goal of making stable money accessible for everyday use, while Opera highlighted the growing adoption of digital dollars.
