Brave Wallet Integrates Bitcoin Support For Its 60 Million Users

Brave's desktop browser version 1.63 adds Bitcoin support to its built-in Brave Wallet, including sending and receiving from Legacy, Nested SegWit, Native SegWit and Taproot addresses for compatibility with third-party wallets. Users can find the option in the "Accounts" section of Brave Wallet after updating to v1.63. Brave states that Bitcoin is expanding beyond peer-to-peer payments toward store-of-value uses and innovation in NFTs and DeFi. James Mudgett, VP Web3 Products at Brave, said the wallet aims to offer the most secure and privacy-considerate software wallet for everyday use. Brave also plans to let users store BRC-20 tokens and Ordinals later this year on desktop and mobile.
