Microsoft Is Testing A Built-In Crypto Wallet For The Edge Browser

Tech giant Microsoft is reportedly testing a non-custodial built-in Ethereum crypto wallet into the company’s default Edge browser, which will allow users to send and receive cryptocurrency and nonfungible tokens (NFTs).

The wallet aims to provide integrated security features to protect users from unsecure addresses or apps, as well as offer a simplified experience for interacting with Web3, the decentralized internet powered by blockchain technology.

Twitter user Albacore (@thebookisclosed), who first spotted the new Edge Crypto Wallet, shared screenshots pulled from a beta build of the supposed Edge user interface (UI) strictly meant for internal testing.

“Newest in the gauntlet of questionable upcoming Microsoft Edge features, a crypto wallet not really sure how to feel about this kind of thing being baked into the default browser,” Albacore noted.
