The popular Opera web browser has added bitcoin e-commerce support and integrated TRON into its built-in cryptocurrency wallet on Android devices.

According to the company’s press release, the built-in crypto wallet on Opera for Android, which was launched last year, now supports bitcoin payments directly, and allows users to interact with decentralized applications on the TRON blockchain using TRX.

The browser claims to have a total of 350 million users, which can now have access to these two cryptocurrencies. The company’s crypto wallet started off with Ethereum support in a bid to offer users access to “web 3.0.”

Charles Hamel, the head of crypto at Opera, was quoted as saying:

We believe that opening our browser to more blockchains, including Bitcoin, is the logical next step to making our solution more relevant to anyone who has a Bitcoin crypto wallet and would like to do things with their cryptocurrencies beyond just keeping them in an account.

As CryptoGlobe reported the browser firm has partnered with HTC – which recently announced a new budget smartphone with bitcoin node features – to add its app to it. It has also revealed it was looking to add “multiple blockchains” in the near future.

The company added in its press releases that by adding TRON its exposes TRX and its decentralized applications to “millions of daily active users across 120 countries,” as TRX’s ecosystem includes BitTorrent as well.
