Coinbase is integrating USDC stablecoin directly into Samsung Wallet on 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the US, enabling users to send funds to crypto wallets and bank accounts in over 60 countries. The service uses Coinbase Prime Vault for custody and focuses on payments over trading, marking a significant step in mainstream crypto adoption via a widely used mobile wallet.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can tap into mainstream users now as USDC enters a wallet already preinstalled on tens of millions of phones. This removes crypto barriers and opens payments adoption without new apps or complicated setups.
