Sei Partners with Xiaomi to Preload Web3 Wallet on New Smartphones, Target Stablecoin Payments by Q2 2026

Sei announced on Dec. 10 a partnership with Xiaomi to preload a crypto wallet and app discovery tool built on Sei onto all new Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the United States, BlockBeats reports. The preinstalled application supports one-click onboarding via Google and Xiaomi ID, features an MPC-secured wallet, access to multiple DApps, and P2P and C2B payment functions, initially targeting markets where Xiaomi holds strong positions including Greece (36.9% share) and India (24.2% share). The companies are developing stablecoin payment capabilities using assets such as USDC, with an initial rollout planned for Hong Kong and the European Union in Q2 2026 before expanding to additional compliant markets. Xiaomi sold 168 million smartphones in 2024 with a 13% global market share, meaning the app will be preloaded on all new devices and pushed to existing users.
