Sei and Xiaomi Join Forces: Crypto Wallets on Millions of Phones

Sei and Xiaomi will pre-install a crypto wallet app on new Xiaomi smartphones outside China and the US, enabling stablecoin payments and blockchain access for millions, with initial launches in Hong Kong and the EU by Q2 2026.

Sei has announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi to pre-install a next-generation crypto wallet and discovery app on all new Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the US. This initiative, part of Sei's $5 million Global Mobile Innovation Program, aims to accelerate blockchain integration in consumer devices and will prioritize regions with established crypto use, such as Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The app will offer streamlined onboarding via Google and Xiaomi IDs, integrated multi-party computation wallet security, and access to top decentralized applications. It will support peer-to-peer and consumer-to-business transactions, including stablecoin payments for Xiaomi products, with initial rollouts planned for Hong Kong and the European Union by Q2 2026. The partnership is expected to provide millions with their first exposure to cryptocurrency and marks a significant step in mainstream blockchain adoption by embedding crypto functionality directly into Xiaomi’s global hardware ecosystem.
