## Summary

Samsung has launched USDC stablecoin accounts in Samsung Wallet for eligible Galaxy users in the United States. Users can buy, hold and transfer digital dollars through an app they already use, potentially bringing crypto payments to a much wider audience.

The service supports USDC on the Solana blockchain and is built with custodian Bastion and Coinbase. It is available on about 82 million compatible devices, requires Android 13 or later, and excludes New York residents; a $50 first top-up qualifies new users for $25 in USDC. Transfers between Samsung Wallet users have no Samsung fee, while card top-ups cost 4%, and bank transfers may carry fees.
