Brave browser allows users to sell cryptocurrency inside the wallet

Privacy-focused browser Brave announced on Friday the launch of a new feature that allows users to not only buy cryptocurrency but also sell it for fiat money, including US dollars, euros, and the British pound, without leaving the integrated Brave Wallet.

Self-control and the mantra «not your keys, not your coins» have gained popularity again after the collapse of such well-known cryptocurrency firms as Celsius and FTX. Brave said it aims to make cryptocurrencies easier to control with a new browser feature powered by cryptocurrency startup Ramp Network.

«After recent events where centralized exchanges have misused customer funds, it is more important than ever to offer a secure and easy-to-manage self-storage solution,» the company said in a statement.

According to Brave, users in selected countries can now sell their coins for fiat, including Ethereum, Solana, USDC, and its own Basic Attention Token (BAT) — a total of 38 cryptocurrencies are on the list.

«While self-storage of cryptocurrencies has grown in popularity over the past decade, centralized exchanges remain the most common way to store digital currency and tokens,» the company said. «We expect this trend to change thanks to innovations in user experience like the one we provide today.»
