USDC Comes To Samsung Wallet: Sui And Solana Networks Power Stablecoin Remittances For Galaxy Users
In Brief
Samsung Wallet integrates Sui and Solana, enabling USDC transfers for 82 million U.S. Galaxy users with gasless, low-cost remittances.
Samsung Electronics has partnered with Sui to integrate USDC stablecoin transfers directly into Samsung Wallet, making the service available to approximately 82 million U.S. Galaxy device users at launch. The integration allows Galaxy customers to hold and send USDC natively within the wallet, alongside existing features such as payment cards, digital IDs, tickets, and keys.
The rollout will begin in the United States on eligible Galaxy devices, with plans to expand to additional international markets at a later stage. USDC is the only supported digital asset at launch, and the wallet does not support the SUI token.
The partnership targets the global remittances market, which connects more than 1.3 billion people worldwide. According to a Visa survey covering 20 markets, digital applications are already the preferred method for sending and receiving remittances in every surveyed country. The survey also found that 41% of U.S. remittance users expressed willingness to use stablecoins for international money transfers — a segment Samsung and Sui aim to capture by embedding blockchain-based payments into an interface consumers already use daily.
Woncheol Chai, EVP and Head of the Digital Wallet Team at Samsung’s Mobile eXperience Business, stated that the collaboration is intended to let Galaxy users benefit from stablecoin payments without navigating the complexity of traditional crypto tools. Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui, framed the integration as a step toward making global dollar transfers available where consumers already are, with Sui providing the underlying network infrastructure.
Gasless Infrastructure and Stablecoin Momentum Behind the Move
The technical foundation for the integration has been in development for several years. Native USDC launched on Sui in 2024, followed by Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol integration. Since August 2025, the network has processed more than $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume, and payment infrastructure has been added across Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America.
A key enabler is Sui’s gasless transaction model, which went live on Mainnet in May 2026. USDC is among the supported assets, meaning users can send stablecoins on Sui without paying network fees and without acquiring or holding SUI to cover gas costs — a friction point that has historically complicated mainstream blockchain adoption.
The timing aligns with broader sector growth: stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $83 trillion over the past twelve months, and remittances — already engaged in by roughly one-sixth of the global population — represent a major avenue for further expansion. Within Samsung Wallet, the transfer flow is designed to resemble a messaging action: users open the wallet, select a recipient, and send.
