The developers of the privacy-oriented browser Brave intend to add the opportunity to sell, purchase, exchange, and store cryptos. To this end, the organization started a partnership with the Binance.
We're thrilled to partner with @binance to bring cryptocurrency trading directly into the browser. The new Binance widget makes Brave the only browser that offers integrated functionality for buying/trading cryptocurrency (in Nightly version today).https://t.co/mGqUfyZx6Y

Currently, the corresponding widget is accessible in the Nightly beta and allows only Bitcoin purchases through the Binance API. It is expected that the full functionality of the widget in the main version of the browser will be available in April.
“The Binance widget provides a more trustworthy way to purchase and trade cryptos, and also simplifies interaction with the platform’s ecosystem,” remarked Changpen Zhao.
