Samsung is partnering with Solana to natively integrate $USDC transfers into Samsung Wallet. Starting the last week of October 2026, eligible Galaxy users in the United States will be able to send money in directly from the same app they already use for cards. The launch covers 82 million Galaxy devices compatible with Samsung Wallet in the U.S., with plans to expand to more markets. How does it work? The feature is in Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay. Solana runs in the background, alongside another supporting network. There’s no need to install apps or anything unusual, create seed phrases, or deal with any of that. It’ll be simple. - You can send USDC to compatible external wallets in seconds. - You can also send it to bank accounts in more than 60 countries. - It includes swaps to convert between local currency and USDC. - It requires biometric authentication on a registered Galaxy device, a Samsung account, and identity verification. Who’s behind it? Solana and Sui. On the infrastructure side, Bastion, a regulated stablecoin infrastructure provider, and Coinbase as the official custodian. Basically, the USDC is held in Coinbase Prime Vault. Why does it matter? Solana has already processed more than $5.25 trillion in stablecoin volume in 2026 alone, and companies like PayPal and Western Union already use it for these kinds of flows. The supply of stablecoins on Solana rose by nearly 20% year over year and reached all-time highs. Natively adding USDC to the pre-installed wallet of one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers is a real step toward widespread, everyday adoption. Everyone comes around to Solana sooner or later!
