Samsung Wallet is bringing support for USD Coin (USDC) on the Solana blockchain to 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the United States, expanding access to stablecoin transfers through the company's mobile wallet platform.
According to information shared by Coin Bureau, users will be able to transfer USDC to compatible wallets without paying a transfer fee. The integration also allows users to send money to eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries.
USDC Transfers and International Payments
The addition of USDC on Solana gives eligible Samsung Wallet users access to stablecoin transfers through compatible Galaxy devices. Samsung is not charging users a fee for transfers sent to compatible wallets, according to the reported details.
The service also includes the ability to send money to eligible bank accounts across 60+ countries. This extends the reported functionality beyond transfers between cryptocurrency wallets, although the announcement does not specify the supported banks, individual country coverage, transaction limits or processing times.
The rollout is described as covering 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the U.S. That figure represents the reported device reach, rather than a confirmed number of users who have activated or used the USDC service.
Bastion and Coinbase Handle Infrastructure and Custody
The integration involves two companies with separate roles. Bastion powers the accounts used for the service, while Coinbase safeguards the USDC, according to Coin Bureau.
These arrangements identify the companies responsible for the account infrastructure and the safeguarding of the stablecoin. The available information does not provide further details about the custody structure, account requirements or the technical implementation connecting Samsung Wallet with Solana.
USDC is a dollar-pegged stablecoin, while Solana is the blockchain network specified for the integration. The reported fee-free transfers apply to transactions involving compatible wallets; the announcement does not establish that every transaction or bank transfer associated with the service is free.
The key figures in the reported rollout are 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the United States and access to eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries. Bastion powers the accounts, with Coinbase responsible for safeguarding the USDC.
