Samsung Wallet's access to USDC triggers controversy over the ownership of blockchain infrastructure
Solana News and CryptoBriefing both reported that Samsung Wallet will introduce USDC stablecoin functionality to 82 million Galaxy devices in the United States, but the two media have differences on identifying blockchain partners as underlying infrastructure.
Consensus of all parties: Core facts confirmed
Although there is controversy over details, all sources agree on the following key facts:
- New features: Samsung Wallet will add USDC stablecoin trading functions.
- Coverage: The first promotion target is 82 million Galaxy devices in the United States.
- Assets involved: The stablecoin used is the USDC issued by Circle.
- Future Outlook: Further expansion of cross-border remittances and expansion of other markets or functions will depend on the approval results of regulators.
Dispute Focus 1: Who are the underlying infrastructure partners?
Regarding the specific underlying chain that Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay support stablecoins, the two media outlets gave completely different answers:
Solana News's view: Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay will support stablecoins on the Solana blockchain. It reported that Solana's infrastructure runs in the background, allowing users to seamlessly transfer funds in the familiar Samsung Wallet experience. The report was released on October 7, 2026.
CryptoBriefing's perspective: Its infrastructure partner is Sui blockchain. Reported that Sui provides a track for USDC to operate, and the "zero Gas fee" model eliminates one of the most enduring friction points in the cryptocurrency space. The report was released on October 8, 2026.
How to conclude: You need to wait for Samsung's official partner announcement or press release to clearly specify the specific blockchain infrastructure provider.
Dispute Focus 2: Who provides the "behind-the-scenes" operating mechanism and transaction routing?
Description of Solana News: Solana's infrastructure runs in the background, allowing users to seamlessly transfer funds within the Samsung Wallet interface they are accustomed to.
Description of CryptoBriefing: Sui provides the transaction routes (rails) that USDC mobility relies on and emphasizes the advantages of its Gas-free model.
How to conclude: You need to check the on-chain transaction data of real-time transfers or the technical documentation of the settlement network designated by Samsung for verification.
Interpretation and Suggestions
The core fact that "Samsung Wallet will add USDC functionality to 82 million Galaxy devices in the United States" should be regarded as an established fact. However, before Samsung or related networks directly confirm it, we should reserve our reservations as to whether the Solana or Sui blockchain supports this function, because these two statements cannot be true at the same time.
