Samsung integrates USDC remittances for 82 million Galaxy users

Samsung is adding cross-border remittances to its wallet app, letting eligible U.S. Galaxy users send USDC through Samsung Wallet to compatible crypto wallets abroad or bank accounts in more than 60 countries starting in the last week of October. The feature reaches 82 million Galaxy devices across the U.S.

• Solana and Sui provide the underlying networks; Coinbase Prime Vault handles custody and Bastion supplies the regulated stablecoin infrastructure.
• Samsung charges no fee for transfers to compatible external wallets, and recipients can receive local currency without opening a crypto wallet (third-party fees may apply).
• Transfers require biometric authentication on a registered Galaxy device and are funded through integrated on- and off-ramps.

The U.S. rollout is the first large-scale deployment of Samsung's stablecoin plans, announced in August, and effectively turns the phone maker into a major distribution channel for digital dollars.
