Samsung plans to integrate stablecoin functionality directly into Samsung Wallet. This means Galaxy users may be able to transfer stablecoins within the system wallet in the future, without relying on a separate crypto app. The company has not yet announced the launch date, partner institutions, or initial markets.

London press conference reveals new direction

This information comes from the Galaxy Unpacked event held in London on July 22. Samsung product manager Lee Dinham, while introducing the Galaxy Card, mentioned that Samsung Wallet will expand from traditional payment and savings tools to carry more forms of digital value, including stablecoins.

The live demonstration also showed a "Stablecoin account" interface with a sample balance of 1,500 USDC. However, Samsung did not specify which stablecoin it would ultimately integrate, nor did it confirm whether it would initially support USDC.

System wallets may become a new entry point for stablecoins.

If this feature is officially implemented, Samsung will become one of the first major terminal manufacturers to directly integrate stablecoin transfer capabilities into the mobile phone's system wallet. For ordinary users, the significance of this integration lies in bringing the blockchain payment gateway to the device layer, rather than remaining at the third-party application layer.

According to DefiLlama data, the current total supply of stablecoins is approximately $309.6 billion. Samsung is one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers, with over 1 billion active devices. If stablecoin functionality is made available to a wider range of users, the reach of digital dollar payments could expand further.

• The total supply of stablecoins is approximately $309.6 billion.
• Samsung has over 1 billion active devices.
• The demo interface shows a sample balance of 1,500 USDC.

Samsung has already established a presence in the digital asset business.

This initiative is not an isolated move. Samsung previously launched Samsung Blockchain Wallet, which allows users to store and manage crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron, and can also connect to hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S and Nano X.

In 2025, Samsung also partnered with Coinbase in the US, allowing users to purchase crypto assets within the Coinbase app and use Samsung Pay as a payment option. Meanwhile, Samsung's investment arm, Samsung Next, participated in Rain's $58 million Series B funding round. Rain is a fintech company that provides stablecoin-powered Visa debit and credit card services.

Samsung's simultaneous launch of the Galaxy Card, in partnership with Barclays and Visa, demonstrates its commitment to integrating wallet, bank card, and digital asset capabilities into a single payment system. While stablecoin functionality is still in its early stages, this move indicates that major tech companies are still viewing stablecoins as part of the next generation of payment infrastructure.
