Samsung Partners with Solana to Natively Deliver Stablecoins in Samsung Wallet to 82 Million U.S. Galaxy Devices
The feature uses Solana and Sui support and lets users send USDC without a separate crypto app or private keys, Samsung said.
- Starting in late October 2026, Samsung Electronics will launch USDC transfers within Samsung Wallet for 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices, utilizing Sui and Solana for blockchain support.
- Bastion will provide the regulated cross-border payment framework, with Coinbase serving as official sub-custodian to safeguard USDC in the Coinbase Prime Vault.
- The service requires biometric authentication on registered Galaxy devices, allowing eligible users to send funds to crypto wallets or bank accounts in more than 60 countries.
- Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, said this integration puts digital dollars into everyday life, helping stablecoins move beyond a specialized crypto product.
- Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO of Borderless, expects competitors like Apple and Google to follow, suggesting this deployment could accelerate the mainstream adoption of digital dollars.
