Samsung formalizes the integration of USDC stablecoin transfers on the Solana network within its native Samsung Wallet application. Rolled out to 82 million Galaxy device users in the United States, this feature is accompanied by a spectacular explosion in SOL’s on-chain volumes, which now surpasses the largest crypto exchanges like Binance.
In brief
- 82 million Galaxy smartphones now benefit from cross-border USDC transfers on Solana, with no in-app fees.
- The service leverages Bastion’s infrastructure and secure custody of funds provided by Coinbase Prime Vault.
- Spot trading volume on Solana exceeded $818.9 million in 24 hours, largely dominating Binance and centralized crypto platforms.
Crypto: Samsung Wallet adopts USDC on Solana
Until now, access to cryptos required downloading specialized applications or complex management of private keys. Samsung is disrupting this logic by directly integrating the USDC stablecoin into the heart of the Galaxy ecosystem. Powered by the speed and low fees of the Solana blockchain, this feature allows you to transfer USDC without fees to compatible crypto wallets, but also to send funds to bank accounts in more than 60 countries.
To orchestrate this frictionless deployment:
- The technical infrastructure and records management are managed by Bastion.
- The custody and security of USDC tokens is delegated to Coinbase Prime Vault.
- Transaction validation is carried out via the native biometric authentication of Galaxy smartphones.
