Samsung teased native stablecoin support for Samsung Wallet at Galaxy Unpacked 2026, showing a demo balance in USDC secured by Knox encryption, but confirmed no specific coin, issuer, network, or launch date. The reveal came alongside the new Barclays-backed Galaxy Card and builds on Samsung's existing Coinbase integration and Upbit investment, positioning Wallet as a potential mass-distribution point for stablecoins ahead of Apple and Google.
