Singapore-based stablecoin infrastructure provider StraitsX has added Samsung Pay support to its card issuance platform, giving eligible card issuers access to all three major mobile wallet ecosystems.
With the update, cards built on StraitsX’s infrastructure can now be added to Samsung Wallet alongside existing support for Apple Pay and Google Pay. Users with supported Samsung devices can make contactless payments via Samsung Wallet.
The company said the move is aimed at making stablecoin-backed cards more practical for everyday spending by allowing them to work within payment tools that consumers already use regularly.

Why are mobile wallets becoming a key part of stablecoin payments?
As competition grows in the stablecoin payments sector, companies are increasingly focusing on how users spend digital assets in real-world settings rather than simply holding them.
According to StraitsX, mobile wallet support removes friction for users and makes stablecoin-linked cards easier to use at physical stores and online merchants. For fintech firms launching stablecoin card programs, broader wallet compatibility can also improve customer adoption and engagement.
The company said its infrastructure goes beyond card issuance by providing services such as stablecoin settlement, card tokenization, and wallet provisioning, allowing partners to launch payment products more quickly.
What is the implication for stablecoin adoption across Asia?
The Samsung Pay integration could strengthen StraitsX’s position as stablecoin payment adoption continues to grow across Asia’s mobile-first markets.
The company pointed out South Korea as a key example, noting Samsung Wallet’s strong consumer presence in the country. Samsung Wallet is available in more than 60 countries and regions, giving issuers broader access to potential users across multiple markets.
The announcement shows what’s happening in the crypto industry, where firms are increasingly connecting stablecoins to traditional payment networks. Companies including Visa, Mastercard, and several crypto-focused payment providers have expanded efforts to bring stablecoin spending into everyday commerce. As stablecoin use moves beyond trading and transfers, wallet integration is becoming a key part of turning digital assets into practical payment tools.
Meanwhile, StraitsX, alongside RedotPay and Visa, has launched a blockchain-based card program that enables users to spend digital assets seamlessly with fiat, using StraitsX’s real-time conversion infrastructure to bridge crypto payments with traditional retail systems.
