Samsung's Galaxy devices will soon support USDC transfers using the Solana blockchain.

Samsung's Galaxy devices will soon support USDC transfers using the Solana blockchain. USDC (USDC) is trading at ₹95.14 ($0.9993). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by NewsBTC, with live market data added, as of Wed, 28 Oct 2026 10:45:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This integration could significantly expand USDC's reach and Solana's user base by leveraging Samsung's massive mobile device ecosystem.

Key takeaways
  • Samsung's USDC remittance feature begins rolling out to US Galaxy users this month.
  • The feature uses Solana blockchain for USDC transfers.
  • USDC market cap stands at $70.95B, while Solana's TVL is $131.41M.

Samsung is set to begin rolling out its USDC remittance feature to eligible US Galaxy device users in the final week of October. This integration will allow users to transfer the stablecoin USDC using the Solana blockchain through the Samsung Wallet application.

The feature is part of Samsung's ongoing efforts to integrate blockchain technology into its ecosystem, aiming to provide users with more seamless and efficient digital asset management tools.

The USDC stablecoin, which has a circulating supply of $71.11 billion according to DeFiLlama, is widely used for remittances and payments due to its price stability. Meanwhile, Solana's total value locked (TVL) stands at $131.41 million, having increased by 4.9% over the past week.

The integration comes at a time when the broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.73 trillion. Bitcoin is down 0.72% in the last 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index sits at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The launch could potentially drive increased adoption of both USDC and Solana by exposing a large user base to these cryptocurrencies through a trusted platform. It also highlights the growing trend of traditional tech companies incorporating blockchain technology into their products.
