Opera is working to integrate support for Tron’s TRX and TRC-standard tokens in its browser-based crypto wallet.
After the integration of the TRON blockchain is complete, the browser's over 300 million users worldwide will be able to use the tokens within the browser, Opera said Wednesday.

The integration will also allow users to play Tron games and access Tron decentralized applications (dapps) within the browser, without requiring third-party extensions or applications. There are currently over 400 dapps built on the Tron blockchain, the Norwegian browser maker said, citing data from DAppReview.
The firm further said that it plans to add support for “multiple” blockchains within the next 12 months.
Opera’s cryptocurrency wallet already supports ethereum’s ether and other tokens using the network’s ERC-20 standard, having launched last December. At the time, the wallet was available only for its Android web browser.
Last month, though, Opera rolled out a desktop version of the browser for the Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems that included the wallet. The browser/wallet combi is available for iOS devices too, but is currently in beta and is expected to see full release later this year, according to Wednesday's announcement.
Earlier this year, Opera also allowed its Android users to buy ETH cryptocurrency directly from its browser-based wallet through a partnership with Sweden-based regulated crypto brokerage Safello.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Rollercoaster bitcoin price moves end up liquidating $1.7 billion in bullish crypto bets
More than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours as bitcoin fell to $81,000, with long bets accounting for nearly all the damage amid macro jitters and Fed chair speculation.
What to know:
- More than $1.68 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about 267,000 traders forced out of trades.
- Long positions accounted for nearly 93 percent of the wipeout, led by roughly $780 million in bitcoin and $414 million in ether liquidations.
- Analysts say the sell-off was driven less by new bearish sentiment than by overcrowded leverage unwinding, flushing out speculative excess and reducing forced flows in the market.
