Samsung plans to add native stablecoin support to Samsung Wallet, making it one of the first major smartphone brands to integrate stablecoin transfers directly into its devices.
Samsung product manager Lee Dinham revealed the move during the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22. While introducing Samsung Galaxy Card, Dinham said Samsung Wallet would expand beyond traditional payments and savings to include new forms of digital value, including stablecoins.
He stated that stablecoin integration would enable fast and trusted digital value transfers while turning Samsung Wallet into “the foundation of a connected financial ecosystem” across Galaxy devices and services.
Samsung did not announce a launch date, stablecoin issuer, partner, or supported markets. During the presentation, a Samsung Wallet mockup showed a “Stablecoin account” holding a 1,500 $USDC balance.
A Major Mobile Platform Enters a $309 Billion Market
Samsung’s potential stablecoin integration could expose digital dollar payments to one of the world’s largest smartphone user bases. The company remains the largest smartphone manufacturer globally, with more than 1 billion active devices worldwide.
The stablecoin market has also expanded significantly. According to DefiLlama data, the total stablecoin supply currently stands at about $309.6 billion.
By bringing stablecoins directly into Samsung Wallet, the company could connect everyday mobile users with blockchain-based payments without requiring separate crypto applications or external platforms.
Samsung Already Has a Digital Asset Foundation
The stablecoin announcement builds on Samsung’s existing involvement in digital assets.
Samsung Blockchain Wallet already allows Galaxy users to store and manage cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron. The wallet also supports connections with external hardware wallets such as Ledger’s Nano S and Nano X.
In 2025, Samsung partnered with Coinbase to improve crypto access for Galaxy users in the United States. The partnership allowed Coinbase users to purchase crypto directly through the Coinbase app while using Samsung Pay as a payment option.
Samsung’s investment arm, Samsung Next, also participated in a $58 million Series B funding round for Rain, a San Francisco-based fintech company that issues Visa debit and credit cards powered by stablecoins.
Galaxy Card Expands Samsung’s Financial Push
Samsung announced stablecoin support alongside the launch of Samsung Galaxy Card, the company’s first credit card.
The card launches in the United States through a partnership with Barclays and Visa. Samsung designed it to provide cash rewards on everyday purchases, including higher rewards for Samsung-related spending.
Samsung’s stablecoin plans remain in early stages, but the move signals how major technology companies continue exploring digital assets as part of broader payment ecosystems.
