Samsung brings USDC to 82 million Galaxy devices: What users need to know now

Samsung has integrated Circle’s USDC stablecoin into Samsung Wallet across 82 million Galaxy devices, letting users hold, send and receive the dollar-pegged token directly from the wallet. The move brings a major regulated stablecoin to a mainstream consumer audience and deepens Samsung’s push into crypto services beyond hardware. USDC, issued by Circle, is the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization after Tether’s USDT. The integration could lift USDC’s retail reach and transaction volumes, particularly in markets where Samsung Wallet is widely used. Watch for which regions and Galaxy models get access first, and whether Samsung adds support for other tokens or on-ramp partners.
