Samsung Electronics plans stablecoin features for Samsung Wallet this year

Samsung Electronics plans to add stablecoin account opening, cross-border remittances and payment functions to Samsung Wallet in some countries this year, crypto outlet Sandmark reported, citing the company’s written response on Aug. 8. According to the report, a Samsung official said the company will roll out the stablecoin features in phases and consider each country’s regulations and market conditions before expanding the service globally at an appropriate time. Samsung Electronics had earlier outlined Samsung Wallet’s future expansion at its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event in July, saying the service would move beyond cash and savings services to support new forms of digital value, including stablecoins.
