Samsung's mobile wallet app for Galaxy devices, combining Samsung Pay tap-to-pay cards with boarding passes, digital IDs and, in the US, stablecoin transfers.
Samsung plans USDC transfers in Wallet for late October on 82 million compatible US Galaxy devices, a count its own footnote limits to compatible devices. Funding, fees and the identity screen decide how many phones ever send a dollar.
Reality
Samsung Wallet will make USDC its default dollar stablecoin on 82 million eligible U.S. Galaxy devices from late October. The deal gives Circle the default slot and Coinbase custody of the balances, while licensed partner Bastion keeps the customer records and the compliance work.

Samsung will build USDC transfers into Samsung Wallet on 82 million US Galaxy phones from late October. Whether that reach becomes a cheap way to send money home depends on what Samsung charges to pay into foreign bank accounts.

Samsung Electronics has applied for a U.S. patent on wallets in which a smart contract checks each device, so phones and appliances need not hold a key. Samsung has not disclosed a launch or timeline, and the report leaves open who would hold the contract's own key.
Reality
Eleven years of refusal end on 24 August. The announcement lists cash, credit card and Walmart Pay, and never names the wallet that won.
