Sei and Xiaomi have partnered: new phones will come pre-installed with Web3 apps, which will advance the stablecoin payment system.

According to official news from Sei, it has reached a major cooperation agreement with global consumer electronics giant Xiaomi. In the future, all new Xiaomi smartphones outside of mainland China and the United States will be pre-installed with Sei's next-generation crypto wallet and app discovery app. Furthermore, the two companies plan to launch stablecoin payment functionality within Xiaomi's global retail system. The pre-installed app supports one-click access via Google/Xiaomi ID and includes built-in MPC wallet security, access to multiple popular DApps, P2P transfers, and C2B payment capabilities. This cooperation will prioritize regions with mature crypto adoption, such as Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Sei is developing stablecoin (such as USDC) payment functionality, with initial launches expected in Hong Kong and the EU in the second quarter of 2026. Xiaomi sold 168 million smartphones globally in 2024, achieving a market share of 13%. Sei believes this move will transform crypto from "users actively seeking it out" to "automatically reaching users."
