Samsung is partnering with Solana to allow users in the United States to send money across borders using USDC starting the last week of October 2026.
The feature will be available through Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay.
Major consumer partner
According to the official press release, the launch will be available on 82 million Galaxy devices in the United States. Other markets are expected to follow depending on local regulatory requirements. Solana will run backstage. Users will not need to manage a separate crypto tool to make transfers. Samsung Wallet will also include built-in fiat on- and off-ramps, which will allow users to convert between local currency and stablecoins within the experience.
The tech giant said the goal was to make stablecoin transfers as familiar as other features already available in its wallet.
Woncheol Chai, executive vice president and head of the digital portfolio team of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience business, said
“Samsung Wallet aims to make useful experiences simple and intuitive. Stablecoins have the potential to make moving money around the world faster and easier, and we want Galaxy users to be able to enjoy it without having to navigate the complexity of traditional crypto tools. Solana helps us bring this experience to scale at Samsung.”
The partnership also comes as stablecoin activity on Solana continues to grow. Stablecoin supply on the network has increased by almost 20% year-over-year. Solana also processed over $5.25 trillion in stablecoin volume in 2026 alone. Companies such as PayPal and Western Union already use Solana for their stablecoin operations.
The latest development has not yet significantly increased the price of SOL. The crypto asset is down around 3% over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading near $115.
Other developments
Additionally, the Solana Foundation officially joined the x402 Foundation earlier in April as a founding member.
The following month, the Swiss nonprofit and Google Cloud launched Pay.sh, a platform that allows AI agents to pay for API services using Solana-based stablecoins. The service removes the need for accounts, API keys and subscriptions, allowing agents to access services independently while automatically managing payments and billing through the gateway.
