Coinbase is powering USDC inside Samsung Wallet, bringing the stablecoin to 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the United States starting the last week of October. Assets will be held through Coinbase Prime Vault, with Bastion providing regulated stablecoin custody and payments infrastructure. Eligible users will be able to send USDC to crypto wallets and qualifying bank accounts in more than 60 countries, with conversion to local currency possible. Samsung identified Solana and Sui as technical partners supporting blockchain connectivity for the service. The launch remains deliberately narrow, US-only and requiring identity verification, but Samsung is already discussing possible future capabilities including online and in-store stablecoin payments and expansion into additional markets.
