01
Samsung Wallet just turned on a built-in USDC stablecoin account for US Galaxy phones.
02
It went live November 5, 2026, reaching about 82 million compatible US Galaxy devices.
03
You need to be 18+, in an eligible US state, and running Android 13 or later.
04
New York residents are excluded from the feature at launch.
05
Samsung does not hold your USDC itself: Bastion runs the accounts and Coinbase sub-custodies the funds.
06
Sending USDC to another Samsung Wallet user or outside wallet carries no Samsung fee.
07
International bank transfers to over 60 countries are supported, but those carry separate fees that vary by destination.
08
Samsung stresses it is not a bank or money transmitter, so normal bank protections like FDIC insurance do not apply to your balance.
