Samsung says Wallet will add native stablecoin support
Samsung said its Samsung Wallet app will add native support for stablecoins, an announcement it made at its Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, according to Decrypt. The company did not name a launch date, an issuer or the blockchain network the tokens would run on.
“Samsung Wallet will expand beyond cash and savings. It will embrace new forms of digital value, including stablecoins,” product manager Lee Dinham said at the event. He said the move would make Samsung one of the first major mobile brands to bring native stablecoins to a smartphone. During the presentation, Samsung demonstrated a wallet interface holding Circle’s USDC, though it did not confirm Circle as a partner.
The announcement is a stated roadmap plan rather than a live product. Samsung has not disclosed which stablecoins it will support, which markets will receive the feature first, or when it will launch, and the word support could cover holding a balance, sending funds or making payments, according to Crypto Briefing.
The plan builds on Samsung’s October 2025 integration with Coinbase, which let about 75 million Galaxy owners in the United States buy cryptocurrency through their devices. It was announced alongside the Galaxy Card, Samsung’s first credit card, issued with Barclays on the Visa network and available in the United States, according to Coinlaw.
Samsung Wallet operates in roughly 30 to 40 markets, which means any stablecoin feature would have to clear each market’s money transmission and reserve disclosure rules before launching there. All financial features in the wallet are protected by Samsung Knox security with end-to-end encryption, the company said.
