Coinbase announced the integration of USDC as the default dollar stablecoin in Samsung Wallet for US users with a compatible Galaxy device. The service, which targets approximately 82 million devices, is expected to launch around November 5, 2026. Eligible users will be able to buy, hold, send, and receive USDC directly in Samsung Wallet without a separate app or private-key management, with transfers running on the Solana blockchain. Bastion will serve as the primary custodian, Coinbase will act as sub-custodian through Coinbase Prime Vault, and Samsung will not hold customer funds. Access will require identity verification, biometric authentication, and Android 13 or later, while the service will not be available in New York.
