Paxful Teams up with Opera to Offer Bitcoin Transactions in Africa

Paxful, a marketplace where consumers can buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly with each other, announced today that it has formed a partnership with Opera, the multi-platform web browser, to bring Bitcoin transactions to Africa. Starting today, Opera for Android will allow its users to make Bitcoin purchases directly from Opera's integrated Crypto Wallet. 

With Paxful as its onramp, users will no longer need a credit card to buy Bitcoin. They'll now have access to over 350 payment options including bank transfers, e-wallets, gift cards, and more as long as they have an account connected with a local phone service provider. Additionally, Opera for Android offers advanced privacy features. 

Last month, the company has announced a expanded partnership with the Human Rights Foundation to spread Bitcoin education through independent journalism.
