Samsung Wallet opens the $USDC account to U.S. Galaxy users on November 5, covering around 82 million compatible devices. Users can buy, hold, send, and receive USDC on Solana without downloading a separate crypto app or managing their own private keys. New York State is excluded. Credit card top-ups incur a 4% fee, and users who make an initial top-up of at least $50 get $25 back. Custody is handled by Bastion, with Coinbase Prime Vault providing secondary custody.
Stablecoins have never been held back by technology; the bottleneck has always been access. By putting that access in its system wallet, Samsung has effectively given USDC on Solana a default spot.
What matters is usage after launch, not the launch itself. On October 7, Samsung said it would explore online and offline stablecoin payments. Whether it can move from “fee-free transfers between users” to in-person payments will determine whether this is just another custodial wallet or a payment channel.
