Web3 media company Decrypt is partnering with browser developer Opera to bring its coverage of crypto to Opera’s hundreds of millions of users. The collaboration, announced on Oct. 7, aims to simplify the world of digital assets for a broader audience.
The partnership will see Decrypt’s news, explainers, and feature stories distributed across Opera’s platforms, including Opera News, Opera Mini, and Opera for Android. According to a report from Decrypt, the content will be localized and tailored to user interests, making it more accessible to those unfamiliar with Web3.
Opera has been steadily expanding its Web3 offerings. The company’s MiniPay stablecoin wallet, launched earlier this year, has already surpassed 10 million users, according to a press release from Sept. 16. The wallet is designed to make it easier for users to send and receive stablecoins, a key component of the Web3 ecosystem. The recent U.S. government shutdown has highlighted the demand for alternative financial systems, with some investors turning to crypto as a hedge against economic instability.
In addition to the MiniPay wallet, Opera also began shipping its new Opera Neon AI agentic browser on Sept. 30. The browser is designed to execute complex tasks and is part of Opera’s broader strategy to integrate advanced technologies into its products. An Opera spokesperson described the partnership with Decrypt as a “natural step forward” in the company’s commitment to Web3.
The collaboration comes at a time when interest in crypto is growing, with recent regulatory developments, such as the SEC reviews digital asset funds, signaling increased mainstream acceptance. The partnership between Decrypt and Opera is poised to further accelerate this trend by providing users with a reliable source of information on a wide range of topics, from the basics of blockchain to the intricacies of the legal debate over XRP.
According to Decrypt co-founder and COO Ilan Hazan, the partnership will help the company reach a wider audience and advance its mission to make Web3 accessible for everyone. He noted the goal is to ultimately bring the next billion users into the blockchain and crypto space.
The financial terms of the partnership have not been disclosed, and a specific timeline for the full content integration has not yet been provided. However, the collaboration represents a significant step forward in the effort to bring Web3 to the masses. By combining Decrypt’s expertise in crypto journalism with Opera’s massive user base and innovative products, the partnership has the potential to onboard a new wave of users into the world of decentralized technologies.
