Samsung taps Solana and Sui to launch zero-fee USDC global remittances on 82 million phones
Summary
Samsung plans to launch USDC remittances in Samsung Wallet for eligible U.S. Galaxy users in the last week of October. Users can send funds to compatible crypto wallets or bank accounts in more than 60 countries, with recipients receiving local currency. Samsung says it will charge no fees for transfers to external wallets, though receiving services may charge fees. Solana and Sui will support the blockchain network, Coinbase will custody USDC, and Bastion will provide regulated stablecoin infrastructure. Transfers will use integrated funding services and require biometric authentication. The rollout is Samsung’s first large-scale U.S. stablecoin deployment; expansion depends on local regulations.
