82 Million Samsung Galaxy Devices Could Soon Get Native Solana Stablecoin Transfers

Partnership Details

Samsung is teaming up with Solana to allow users in the United States to send money across borders using USDC starting in the last week of October 2026. The feature will be available through Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay. Major Mainstream Partner According to the official press release, the launch will be available across 82 million US Galaxy devices. More markets are expected to follow depending on local regulatory requirements. Solana will run behind the scenes. Users will not need to manage a separate crypto tool to make the transfers.

Technical Details

Samsung Wallet will also include integrated fiat on- and off-ramps, which will allow users to convert between local currency and stablecoins within the experience. The tech giant said the goal is to make stablecoin transfers feel as familiar as other features already available in its wallet.

Industry Context

The partnership also comes as stablecoin activity on Solana continues to grow. Stablecoin supply on the network has increased nearly 20% year over year. Solana has also processed more than $5.25 trillion in stablecoin volume during 2026 alone. Companies such as PayPal and Western Union are already using Solana for stablecoin activity.

Additional Developments

The latest development has yet to give SOL's price much of a boost. The crypto asset was down around 3% over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading near $115. Separately, the Solana Foundation officially joined the x402 Foundation earlier in April as one of the founding members. The following month, the Swiss non-profit organization and Google Cloud launched Pay.sh, a platform that lets AI agents pay for API services using Solana-based stablecoins. The service removes the need for accounts, API keys, and subscriptions, thereby allowing agents to access services independently while handling payments and billing automatically through the gateway.
