Samsung brings USDC transfers to 82 million Galaxy phones
- —Feature launches in the last week of October on 82 million Galaxy devices in the US
- —USDC transfers reach over 60 countries, with recipients paid in local currency
- —Solana and Sui provide the blockchain infrastructure; Bastion custodies via Coinbase Prime Vault
- —Samsung charges no fee for sending USDC to external wallets
Why it matters: Embedding stablecoin transfers into the wallet of the world's largest smartphone maker could accelerate mainstream USDC adoption and set a precedent for Apple and Google.
