CryptoVideos brief
Built from 7 sources 8 Oct 2026 · 04:33 UTC 1 min read Main editor: Earl Jacobson

Samsung has announced USDC stablecoin transfers will launch via Samsung Wallet in late October 2026 for 82 million US Galaxy device users. Eligible users can send USDC to crypto wallets and bank accounts in over 60 countries with no Samsung transfer fees. Sui and Solana provide blockchain infrastructure, while Coinbase Prime will custody USDC through Bastion. All transactions require biometric authentication on registered Galaxy devices.

Key points

Sui is a blockchain infrastructure partner for the USDC transfer service.
Coinbase will custody USDC held in Samsung Wallet.

Why it matters

The integration places USDC directly inside Samsung Wallet, a mainstream consumer payment app, so users do not need a separate crypto application to access stablecoin transfers. It also enables easy movement between traditional money and USDC via included fiat on-ramps and off-ramps.

What's unclear

Whether international transfers to over 60 countries are part of the late October launch or pending regulatory approval

Whether Sui is the sole blockchain infrastructure partner or if Solana is also a partner
