Samsung To Add Stablecoin Support to Galaxy Wallet Across 61 Countries

Crypto Payments News

Samsung announced at its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event that Samsung Wallet will add native stablecoin support, placing digital dollar tokens directly inside an app already used for credit cards, ID documents, transit passes, and loyalty rewards.

The company demonstrated a wallet interface showing USD Coin (

) with functions for sending, receiving, and adding funds. Samsung has not confirmed Circle as an official partner, named a launch date, or identified which stablecoins will be supported when the feature becomes available.

The Samsung Wallet is already available in 61 countries and has approximately 19 million users in South Korea alone. The

feature would sit inside an app that most Galaxy owners already have installed, removing the need to download a separate crypto application or open an exchange account. Samsung's smartphone specialist product manager Lee Dinham said the integration aims to make Galaxy devices the foundation for an interconnected financial ecosystem combining payments, rewards, and digital assets. "This will make Samsung one of the first major mobile phone brands to offer native stablecoins on smartphones, enabling fast and reliable transfer of digital value," Dinham said at the event.
