Samsung Wallet’s USDC on Solana Is Live — Here’s What the Rollout Actually Covers
Samsung Wallet’s Stablecoin Account went live on November 2 for eligible US Galaxy owners, enabling them to buy, hold, send and receive USDC on Solana. Bastion provides custody and infrastructure, with Coinbase as sub-custodian. Users can transfer USDC to eligible Samsung Wallet users and compatible external wallets without Samsung fees, or send funds to qualifying bank accounts in more than 60 countries; third-party fees and availability vary. The rollout requires users to be at least 18, US residents with a compatible Galaxy device and Samsung account; New York is excluded. The cited 82 million compatible devices represent potential reach, not active users. Expansion to in-store or online payments and more markets is only a future possibility. Adoption will need to be assessed through actual usage, costs and payout performance.
