On October 8, 2026, Cryptopolitan reported that Samsung will partner with Solana to offer Solana-based USDC cross-border transfers in Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay in the United States, with plans to roll them out starting the last week of October to approximately 82 million active Galaxy devices in the United States. CoinDesk said that eligible U.S. Galaxy users will be able to send USDC through Samsung Wallet to compatible crypto wallets or eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries and regions. On October 9, PYMNTS pointed out that device coverage does not equal actual adoption, and that businesses still need to address issues including liquidity, foreign exchange, reconciliation, compliance, and recipients’ use of the received funds. On October 14, Payments Cards & Mobile mentioned the plan again, stating that stablecoin competition is shifting toward integration into corporate financial systems and consumer wallets. Existing reports do not indicate that the service has been fully launched.
