Samsung has integrated stablecoin functionality directly into its Wallet app for United States users, allowing them to manage Circle's USDC on the Solana blockchain. Roughly 82 million compatible Galaxy devices can now access the feature, which lets users buy, hold and transfer the stablecoin without downloading standalone crypto applications or handling private keys themselves.
The infrastructure relies on custody provider Bastion and Coinbase, which holds the USDC through Coinbase Prime Vault. Users face no Samsung fees for transfers and can send funds to bank accounts in over 60 countries, though credit card funding costs 4 percent. The service is unavailable in New York State and requires Android 13 or newer.
