The USDC on Samsung Wallet service will add a second network later in November: Sui. The confirmation came from Sui on November 5, and the integration will be available to eligible Galaxy users in the United States, with no need to install a separate cryptocurrency wallet.
No network fee and no SUI token
For users of USDC on Samsung Wallet, the main difference is in fees. According to the Sui Foundation, supported USDC transfers will carry no network fee for the sender and will not require buying the SUI token first. That is unusual: on most networks, the native token is needed to pay fees, even when sending a dollar-backed stablecoin. The feature uses Sui's gasless stablecoin transfer system, live on mainnet since May 2026. The network's Chinese-language account said the integration could reach around 82 million compatible Galaxy devices in the US.
The second network in Samsung's stablecoin service
Sui will be the second network in Samsung Wallet's Stablecoin Account service. The first, Solana, went live on November 2, letting eligible users buy, hold, send, and receive USDC inside the app. At launch, the SUI token itself will not be available in Samsung Wallet: the integration covers USDC only.
The Solana version already shows how the service works in practice: besides sending USDC to other Samsung Wallet users and external wallets, users can transfer funds to eligible bank accounts, including international transfers to more than 60 countries, with the amount received in the local currency. Samsung charges no fee for wallet-to-wallet transfers, although banks and receiving services may charge their own.
Who can use it and what comes next
The service is limited to US residents aged 18 or older, with Galaxy devices running Android 13 or later — New York residents are excluded — and requires registration, identity verification, and biometric authentication. The account infrastructure is provided by Bastion, with Coinbase as sub-custodian through Coinbase Prime Vault; Samsung does not hold customer funds or operate as a bank.
The partnership is not new: Samsung had already named Sui as a blockchain infrastructure partner on October 8, alongside Solana. And expansion may continue: on November 5, Samsung Global Research managing director Park Hyun-soo said Korean won stablecoins could reach Samsung Wallet if South Korea creates a suitable regulatory framework.
