Your phone just became a crypto wallet — no extra app needed.
Samsung switched on USDC inside Samsung Wallet on Nov 5, putting stablecoins on about 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the US. The dollars move on Solana, with Bastion on custody and Coinbase holding the reserves. No extra app, no keys to manage.
$SOL sits near $89.81, down about 0.3% on the day, while $BTC holds around $75,900. USDC accounts on Solana passed 10 million in late October, so the rails were ready first.
If this becomes real everyday usage, the chain settling those dollars gets a genuine demand story; if it stays a niche feature — New York excluded, no in-store payments yet — the excitement fades fast. I'm watching whether $SOL holds $90 while this rolls out.
Would you keep dollars in your phone wallet, or is this a feature you'd never switch on?
