The rollout will reach 82 million US Galaxy devices, with cross-border remittance features on the Solana network launching in the last week of October to support transfers to bank accounts in more than 60 countries. Integration with the Sui network will enable gasless transfers, meaning users pay zero network fees and do not need to hold the SUI token. The service includes integrated fiat on- and off-ramps, with Samsung planning to expand the feature to additional global markets as regulatory approvals are obtained.

This setup allows users to hold and send the stablecoin directly through existing Samsung apps without needing a separate cryptocurrency wallet.
