Samsung is bringing Solana-based USDC transfers to 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices, giving Wallet users a new way to send money across borders. The feature will launch during the last week of October 2026 through Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay, with Solana handling transfers behind the existing wallet interface and local currency conversion.

Integrated fiat on- and off-ramps will convert funds between USDC and local currencies. At launch, the feature will cover 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices. Samsung said additional markets will follow, subject to local regulatory requirements. The rollout therefore starts in the United States before expanding elsewhere.
Woncheol Chai, Samsung Electronics executive vice president, said Samsung Wallet aims to make useful experiences simple. He said stablecoins could make international money transfers faster and easier.
Chai added that Galaxy users will not need to navigate traditional crypto tools. Instead, the stablecoin feature will operate within the Samsung Wallet experience. Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, said stablecoins have demonstrated their technology over the past decade.
However, she said broader access required a way to reach mainstream users. Liu said Samsung's integration will place digital dollars within an everyday wallet experience. She described the development as a way for stablecoins to become part of money transfers.
The Samsung integration comes as stablecoin activity on Solana has increased over the past year. Stablecoin supply on the network has risen nearly 20% year over year. Meanwhile, Solana has processed more than $5.25 trillion in stablecoin volume during 2026 alone.
PayPal and Western Union are also using Solana for stablecoin activity. The Samsung rollout will initially cover U.S. Galaxy devices, while further markets remain subject to regulatory requirements. Samsung Wallet users will begin accessing USDC transfers across borders in late October.
