Samsung Wallet to support stablecoins in payments

Samsung Wallet will soon support stablecoins like USDC, expanding digital asset features. Details on launch date, supported coins, and regions are yet to be announced.

Samsung has announced plans to add stablecoin support to Samsung Wallet, expanding its mobile payment platform to include digital assets alongside cards, passes, and digital keys. The announcement came during the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, where Samsung showcased a Wallet interface featuring a USDC-denominated account with send, receive, and top-up options. Details on which stablecoins or blockchain networks will be supported, and whether the service will be custodial or self-custodial, remain unconfirmed. However, Samsung will leverage Knox Vault for enhanced security, positioning itself as one of the first major smartphone brands to offer native stablecoin functionality. This initiative is part of Samsung’s broader strategy to unify payments, rewards, and digital assets within a single app. No public release date, eligible device list, or regional rollout details have been provided. The move builds on Samsung’s previous crypto integrations and signals a push toward mainstream adoption of digital currencies.
